A Father, a Son, & 48 Years of Fence Lines.

One family. One trade. Nearly five decades of Houston backyards.

It Started in 1978.

West Houston Fence Co. was founded by a craftsman who believed a fence shouldn't fall down in three years. Working out of a single pickup truck, he started knocking on doors in west Houston neighborhoods β€” building cedar privacy fences one yard at a time.

Word traveled. The work was solid. The phone kept ringing.

Now His Son Runs It Beside Him.

Nearly five decades later, the truck became a fleet. The single craftsman became a team. And the son β€” who grew up sweeping sawdust off job sites β€” now runs the business alongside his father. Same values. Same handshake. Same answer when you call: a real person who picks up.

What 100,000+ Jobs Teaches You.

Over 100,000 completed jobs, you learn a few things: how to read Houston soil before you set a post. Which cedar mills cut straight. How to keep a deck level on a yard that isn't. When to suggest a repair instead of a rebuild. We bring all of that to every estimate β€” for free.

What We Believe

Old-School Trade. Modern Standards.

🀝

Show Up. On Time.

A scheduled estimate means we'll be there at the scheduled time. Same for the crew on install day. It's a low bar β€” and most companies miss it.

Honest Quotes. No Pressure.

We give you a number, we explain how we got there, and we leave. No back-and-forth, no fake "today only" discounts. Just real pricing.

πŸͺ΅

Materials You Can Trust.

We use cedar from mills we've worked with for 20+ years and hardware rated for Houston humidity. The cheap stuff costs more in five years.

Stand By the Work.

If something's wrong, we come back and fix it. Period. Three generations of customers tell you we mean it.
