Here is a basic guideline that we use to help people get started making the best selection:

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes residential fencing. Sometimes the specific height of the fence or placement of the fence or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many residential fences in just about every possible area across North DFW Area so we are happy to answer these sorts of questions and/or to guide you through the process.

Fencing is one of the easiest industries to “get into” for start-up business and novice laborers. For these people, who are looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences; a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.

As a result, there are many individuals and/or companies who show up in North DFW Area, install residential fences for a short time, then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in North DFW Area.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

  1. The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
    If the individual or company that installed your residential fence isn't still around, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is very common with non-professionals.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about residential fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.

  3. Putting Your Property at Risk
    Installing residential fence in the REGION area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your home. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways - as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards while installing fences by untrained labor is a very common thing.

    Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor - you may be liable and your homeowners insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

Commercial Fence FAQs

Prices on commercial fences are highly dependent on the material you choose and the exact style you order. We provide commercial fencing quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team here or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our commercial fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality fence materials available that will not last. We don't use them. There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).

Commercial fences must stand up to North DFW Area high winds, harsh weather, and physical abuse from employees, customers, landscaping companies, animals, and more. Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your business or property.

We understand for businesses in North DFW Area - you need a great fence and you can't wait forever to get it! Generally, it only takes a few days (maximum) for one of our commercial fence experts to get to most areas of North DFW Area - to walk your property and give you a detailed estimate of your entire commercial fence project.

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install commercial fences in most of North DFW Area within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office of your specific project. There are times throughout the year where that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

There are "other" things that can delay the start of a fencing project. If you select a fencing material, style, color, or options that need to be special ordered; that will often delay the installation of your fence. These materials come from various manufacturers and are beyond our control. We will help you to identify, in advance, any of your choices that are known to be likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Make it Easy on Yourself!

Don't stress yourself! Our commercial fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all the measurements you need! We are a full service fence company that specializes in commercial fence installation ... you do not need to work hard to get a great new fence to protect your business.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

  • If you happen to know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, simply add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine, there is no need to be too precise, this is just a rough estimate at this point.
  • Be sure to subtract the length of any structures (like a building or a storage shed that will serve as part of the barrier). This will give you a rough estimate as to how much fencing you will need.
  • An additional step to get greater accuracy for the amount of commercial fencing you will need, is to also subtract the length of any gates you will be using. The gates are often priced much differently than the fencing is. For this reason we usually recommend to property owners who are looking to develop their own fence estimate, to list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approx. 4 feet wide and a standard commercial drive gate can easily be 20 feet wide or more.

Caution!

Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on price estimates ... the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, "price per linear foot" is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!

This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our commercial fence experts further. Be aware, "price per linear foot" is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the North DFW Area area use!

There are many small fence companies in North DFW Area that list commercial fencing as one of their services. If you have a very small commercial fencing project, then a fence company that typically does mostly residential fencing is probably qualified for the job. Otherwise, be sure to stick with a company that is equipped and specially trained for commercial fence projects.

Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured commercial fencing contractor:

  1. The commercial Fence Warranty is Void
    If the company that installed your commercial fence isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is fairly common.

  2. The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
    As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision.

Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about commercial fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.

  3. Putting Your Property at Risk
    Installing commercial fences in the North DFW Area area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways - as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.

    Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor - you may be liable.

At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your commercial fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work (regardless of what their so-called-warranty says).

Chain link fences must stand up to the physical demands of the North DFW Area weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional quality chain link fencing has been factory treated to prevent rust and corrosion, and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating.

We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and maybe a quick squirt of the hose every once in a while. Chain link fencing requires almost no attention or maintenance.

PVC coated chain link fencing (sometimes called vinyl coated chain link fencing) is that beautiful colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing.

Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are very popular in the North DFW Area area. They are particularly popular for athletic fields, pool areas, and anywhere else where children are commonly found - due to the smooth texture. These PVC coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection.

Ranch Rail Fence FAQs

Ranch rail fencing serves multiple purposes, including defining North DFW Area property boundaries, providing a rustic aesthetic, containing livestock, and adding a charming element to residential or rural landscapes.

Yes! We are a leading vinyl fencing contractor across the entire Cross Roads Texas area.

Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing vinyl fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of Cross Roads Texas.

Vinyl fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the North DFW Area region. Vinyl fences are strong enough to stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of North DFW Area.

Vinyl fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time vinyl fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost savings of paints that wood fences require.

If a maintenance-free, clean and modern looking fence is what you want, look no further than vinyl fencing.

Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. There's no need to paint it or treat it with other chemicals. Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the plastic most often used to make a vinyl fence, ranks third among the world's most manufactured synthetic plastics. Beautiful fences in a number of designs may be made from it, but it also has many other applications in the building industry, including in windows, pipelines, and other items.

Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.

Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. Recycled vinyl fencing is often used in the next generation of new vinyl fences, making it a great option for those who are environmentally aware!

Another huge benefit to your immediate environment and to the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require harsh cleaners, or paint, or sealers - all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.

PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous, therefore it does not readily accept paint. When it comes to fences, many North DFW Area residents select vinyl specifically because it never needs painting or staining or sealing. Unlike wood fences, vinyl fences retain their original color and shine for the duration of their life span.

So, while vinyl fences can't be painted, there are a number of different colors and styles available to customize your fence to match your home and your personal style preferences.

  • Wood Pool Fencing
    Wood fencing is a perfect choice for the perimeter of a property to provide privacy for pool areas. We generally do not recommend wood fencing directly adjacent to the pool itself due to the high moisture content in the air. This moisture can cause the fence to deteriorate more rapidly than normal.
  • Wood Perimeter Fencing
    Wood fencing is the staple of privacy fences. Popular across North DFW Area, a 6 foot dogear wood privacy fence is quite possibly the single-most requested fence we install.

  3. Putting Your Property at Risk
    Installing wood fences in the North DFW Area area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your business or customer's cars. We've seen concrete splatter up onto cars or drip down long stretches of walkways and driveways - as wet concrete or other materials are transported. The secondary damage to businesses or your customers' vehicles while installing fences by poorly trained labor is a very common thing.

    Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unqualified fencing contractor - you may be liable.

At first glance, hiring a "cheaper" fence company to install your wood fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!
