Frequently Asked Questions

No, it is not necessary. We meet prior to starting to make sure we know what you want.

It depends. We do not warranty most wood products. Wood, being a natural product, can have issues outside of our control. However, we do strive to only use top quality materials and installation methods that prevent future problems.

Most other fencing products come with a manufacturer's warranty.

We provide a one-year workmanship warranty on all installations.

Yes, generally estimates are free. In some cases, such as insurance claims, an estimate charge may be necessary.

For most standard residential fences, a permit is not required.

Certain HOA's may have their own policies.

Fences over 6 feet in certain townships may require a permit.

Yes, we remove and dispose of old fencing. In most cases, we have a separate line-item charge for this on the quote, so the customer can decide if they want to do it themself.

Yes, we sell a variety of commercial and residential grade material. Please call to place your order in advance to ensure we have everything you need in stock.

It varies depending on the type of project. For most residential jobs, we typically stay within 30 miles of the Longview/Marshall area. For commercial jobs, we travel as far as necessary depending on the type of project.

All gates (residential and commercial) are fabricated in our shop to customer specifications.

No, at this time, we do not offer financing. Payment is due immediately upon completion.

All residential projects require a 50% down payment. The remainder will be due upon completion.

Distribution centers, logistics hubs, manufacturing facilities, equipment yards, multi-family developments, agricultural land, and municipal infrastructure all require perimeter security fencing. Each property type faces different access control needs and regulatory requirements. High-traffic commercial sites benefit most from automated gate systems integrated with perimeter fencing.

Commercial estimators review site blueprints, plan specs, and general contractor RFP packages to generate material takeoff quotes. This process ensures accurate pricing based on engineered drawings rather than rough estimates. Working from detailed plans eliminates change orders caused by misinterpreted scope.

Phased installation schedules coordinate with facility managers to prevent operational disruption. Crews work off-peak hours when needed and maintain secured boundaries throughout construction. This approach keeps loading docks, employee access, and delivery routes functional during perimeter upgrades.

Complete access control systems include cantilever slide gates or automated swing gates, keypad entry, vehicle loop detectors, and commercial-duty operators. These components handle high-traffic volumes that residential gate hardware can't withstand. Loop detectors prevent gate closure on vehicles, reducing liability and equipment damage.

North Texas commercial fencing must meet regional structural wind load ratings, height restrictions, and setback guidelines. Materials like 9-gauge chain link, structural ornamental steel, and reinforced wood enclosures are engineered to these standards. Wind load compliance prevents fence failure during severe weather events common in the region.

Enterprise jobsites require full commercial liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and OSHA compliance. These credentials protect property owners from liability if jobsite accidents occur. General contractors typically won't allow subcontractors on-site without verified insurance certificates and safety documentation.

Large-scale or multi-site projects involve dedicated installation crews dispatched to each location with materials delivered directly to the site. Scheduling aligns with project timelines agreed upon during the bidding phase. Mobilization for high-acreage jobs requires coordination with other trades to avoid conflicts during phased construction.

9-gauge chain link uses thicker wire than standard residential 11-gauge, making it more resistant to cutting, impact damage, and sagging over long spans. Commercial and industrial sites need this durability for perimeter security where fence damage creates liability. The heavier gauge also supports taller fence heights without additional bracing.

Cantilever slide gates eliminate ground tracks that freeze, collect debris, or create trip hazards across vehicle paths. They're ideal for high-traffic entries where gate maintenance needs to stay minimal. Rolling gates cost less initially but require frequent track cleaning and adjustment in active industrial environments.

Loop detectors embedded in pavement sense vehicles in the gate path and prevent automatic closure, reducing collision risk and equipment damage. This safety feature is critical for facilities with steady truck traffic or multiple daily deliveries. Without detectors, gates rely only on timers, which don't account for slow-moving or stopped vehicles.
