Yes. GOAT Fence Company offers free in-person consultations and virtual estimates using your photos or property survey. We’ll help you plan the best layout and material before work begins.

8. What factors affect the total cost of a new fence?

The final price depends on the fence material, total length, height, number of gates, terrain difficulty, and local permitting requirements. Our estimator walks you through each factor to ensure a fair and accurate quote.

11. What’s the most durable fence material for Texas weather?

Wrought iron and powder-coated steel fences are the most durable options for the Texas heat and humidity. Cedar fences also perform well when properly sealed and maintained against moisture and sun exposure.

12. How long do cedar fences last compared to vinyl or iron?

A well-built cedar fence typically lasts 10-20 years, while powder coated iron fences last 20 years or more with proper care. GOAT Fence uses quality materials to maximize each fence’s lifespan.

13. How can I maintain my wood fence to make it last longer?

We recommend staining or sealing cedar fences every 2–3 years and keeping vegetation trimmed back to allow airflow. Cleaning away mildew and checking for loose boards annually keeps your fence strong and attractive.

14. Are your fence materials sourced locally?

Whenever possible, yes. GOAT Fence partners with Texas-based lumber yards and metal suppliers to reduce transport costs and support local businesses while ensuring the best quality for your fence.

15. Can I mix materials—like cedar panels with iron posts?

Definitely. Many homeowners love combining cedar panels with metal posts for added durability and style. We specialize in these hybrid fence designs that enhance curb appeal and strength.

Yes. We handle all permit paperwork, site plans, and HOA submissions for Katy, Fulshear, and Richmond homeowners. Our team ensures compliance with local height limits, property lines, and design rules.

17. How long does a typical fence installation take?

Most residential fence installations take 1–3 days, depending on fence size and weather. Larger custom projects may take slightly longer. We schedule efficiently and keep you updated every step of the way.

18. Do I need to be home during installation?

Not necessarily. Many clients prefer to meet our crew on day one, then let us complete the work independently. We provide daily updates and photos so you can track progress even if you’re at work.

19. How should I prepare my yard before construction?

Please clear rocks, plants, debris and anything attached to the fence from the fence line. Mark sprinkler heads or underground utilities if possible. We’ll handle the rest—layout, post-marking, and cleanup after completion.

20. How do you ensure my new fence meets local codes and property lines?

GOAT Fence Company verifies boundaries using your survey or plat map, pulls permits as required, and builds to city code specifications. We stake post lines before digging and get your approval to ensure accuracy.
