There are two ways to buy fence installation in West University Place: the version where the preparation gets skipped to hit a number, and the version that holds up. JM Painting & Remodeling only sells the second one, which is why every West University Place quote starts with a walkthrough instead of a guess.

Pricing, honestly

What fence installation costs in West University Place

If three Harris County contractors quote your fence installation and the numbers are far apart, these variables are almost always why. Knowing them helps you compare quotes like a pro — including ours.

  • Tear-out and haul-off of the old fence
  • Linear feet, height and gate count
  • Cedar versus treated pine, and picket style: side-by-side or board-on-board
  • Steel posts versus wood posts: the upgrade that outlasts the pickets
