Why Brownsville Trusts Us With Their Fencing
Plenty of contractors can put posts in the ground. Not all of them understand what it takes to build a fence that lasts in this climate. Here's what sets Brownsville Fence Builders apart.
Built for Gulf Coast Conditions
Fencing along the Texas Gulf Coast faces challenges you won't find inland. Humidity stays high year-round, salt air drifts in from the coast, and hurricane season brings serious wind loads. Our team understands how these conditions affect different materials and installation methods. We set posts deeper in the clay-heavy soil around here. We spec hardware that resists corrosion. Every fence we build accounts for what this climate actually does to wood, metal, and vinyl over time.
Straight Pricing, No Games
Your estimate is your price. We measure the job site, discuss your options, and give you a written quote that covers materials, labor, and cleanup. No vague allowances that balloon later. No surprise fees when we hit a buried pipe or need extra concrete. If something changes the scope, we talk about it before we proceed. Brownsville Fence Builders has built its business on repeat customers and referrals — that only happens when people trust what they're paying for.
Materials That Actually Last Here
Cheap materials fail fast in South Texas. We use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact, galvanized and powder-coated metals, and commercial-grade vinyl that won't yellow or crack in the sun. Our cedar comes from suppliers we've vetted over years of building in this region. For coastal properties near Port Isabel or South Padre, we recommend aluminum and marine-grade hardware that won't rust out in two seasons. The right materials cost a little more upfront and save thousands over the life of your fence.
Licensed, Insured, Accountable
Brownsville Fence Builders carries full liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We pull permits when required and build to code. Our crews are employees, not random day laborers we picked up that morning. When you call our office, you get a real person who can answer your questions. If something isn't right after installation, we come back and fix it. This is our business and our community — we stand behind every fence with our name on it.
Our Work
What You Get When You Hire Us
Hiring a fence contractor shouldn't be a gamble. Brownsville Fence Builders runs a tight operation from first call to final walkthrough. Here's what that looks like in practice.
A Fence Designed for Your Property
Every lot in Brownsville is different. Corner properties have setback requirements. Some yards slope toward drainage easements. Others have mature trees or irrigation lines to work around. We walk your property before we quote and design a fence layout that fits your land, not a generic template. Gate placement, post spacing, and panel heights all get planned around how you actually use your yard.
We Show Up When We Say We Will
Your time matters. When we schedule an installation for Monday morning, our crew arrives Monday morning with materials already loaded. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. Most residential fences are done in one to three days depending on linear footage. If weather delays us, you'll hear about it before you have to call and ask.
Your Property Stays Clean
Fence installation creates debris — old materials, concrete bags, packaging, wire scraps. Our crews clean up every day before they leave. We don't pile junk in your driveway or leave cigarette butts in your flower beds. When the job is done, you get a finished fence and a yard that looks better than when we started. That's basic respect for your property.
We Stand Behind the Work
The job isn't over when the crew pulls away. If a gate starts sticking after a few months or a post shifts after heavy rain, call us. Brownsville Fence Builders comes back to make it right. We're not disappearing to the next city — this is where we live and work. Our phone number stays the same and we answer it.
Fencing FAQs
These are the questions we hear most from homeowners across Cameron County. If you don't see your question here, give us a call.
How much does a new fence cost in Brownsville?
Most residential fences in Brownsville run between $15 and $45 per linear foot installed, depending on material. Chain-link is the most affordable. Wood and vinyl fall in the middle. Wrought iron and ornamental metal cost more. We provide free estimates with exact pricing for your property.
What fence material holds up best in South Texas humidity?
Vinyl and aluminum handle Gulf Coast humidity without rotting or rusting. Pressure-treated wood works well if properly sealed. Wrought iron needs powder coating to resist corrosion. We'll recommend the best material based on your budget, location, and how much maintenance you want to do.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fences take one to three days. Larger properties or complex layouts may take longer. Commercial projects and ranch fencing vary based on linear footage. We'll give you a timeline during your estimate.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Brownsville?
Brownsville requires permits for most fence installations. Height limits typically max out at six feet for backyard fences and four feet for front yards. Corner lots have visibility requirements at intersections. We handle the permit process and build to local code.
Will you remove my old fence?
Yes. We tear out and haul away old fencing as part of most projects. Removal costs depend on material type and linear footage. Let us know during your estimate and we'll include it in your quote.
What areas do you serve besides Brownsville?
Brownsville Fence Builders serves Harlingen, Rancho Viejo, Los Fresnos, San Benito, Port Isabel, La Feria, South Padre Island, and Mercedes. We cover most of Cameron County and parts of the surrounding Rio Grande Valley.
Do I need a special fence for my pool?
Texas law requires pool fencing to be at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates. Openings can't exceed four inches. We install pool-compliant fencing in all materials and ensure your fence meets state safety codes.
How do you build fences to handle hurricane winds?
We set posts deeper and use concrete footings rated for wind loads common in coastal Cameron County. For high-exposure properties, we recommend metal or chain-link which allows wind to pass through. Solid privacy fences can be reinforced with additional posts and bracing.
