Choosing the Right DFW Fence Contractor: Why Southlake Homeowners Trust Stand Strong Fencing

Why Your Choice of Fence Contractor Matters

A fence is more than just a boundary line. It’s a security feature, a privacy barrier, a curb appeal enhancer, and, when done right, a long-term investment. In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, the right fence can boost property value, protect your family, and withstand our unpredictable Texas weather.

But the right fence starts with the right contractor. A well-built fence can last decades; a poorly built one might need repairs in just a few years. When you choose a fence it’s about trust, craftsmanship, and service.

That’s where Stand Strong Fencing of Southlake stands apart.

The Problem with “Quick Quote” Contractors

Many contractors in the DFW area take the fastest route possible:

A 5-minute estimate with minimal questions.
No detailed review of materials, design, or HOA requirements.
Subcontracted crews with varying experience levels.
Limited or no workmanship warranty.

On the surface, these estimates may look appealing...until the fence starts leaning, warping, or failing in the first few years.

The Stand Strong Difference

At Stand Strong Fencing of Southlake, we don’t believe in shortcuts. Our process is designed to give you complete confidence from consultation to completion:

1. A 30-Minute Personalized Estimate

We spend real time with you, walking your property, discussing your goals, and reviewing:

Material options (including pre-stained Japanese Cedar and Western Red Cedar).
Design details like cap & trim finishes, layout, and height.
HOA requirements and city permits.
Functionality needs: privacy, security, pet safety, or curb appeal.

2. Clear Communication

From your first call to your final walk-through, our team prioritizes communication. You’ll always know:

When your materials will arrive.
Your exact installation schedule.
Who will be on your property and when.

3. Experienced Crews

Our Southlake installation teams have 20–30 years of fencing experience. That means every post, picket, and panel is installed with precision - no “learning on the job.”

4. Industry-Leading Build Standards

We don’t cut corners:

Steel posts: 16 and 13 gauge with .095 wall thickness.
Post holes: 30" deep for 6’ fences; 40" deep for 8’ fences.
Concrete: 80 lbs per hole for long-term stability.
Framing: Full 2x4 rails with Simpson brackets (4 bolts each).
Fasteners: Galvanized nails, two per picket per rail.

5. Double-Check Inspections

Before installation, we confirm your:

Colors
Layout
Height
Gate direction

After installation, we walk the property with you to ensure every detail meets our lifetime workmanship warranty standards.

What to Look for in a DFW Fence Contractor

Whether you choose Stand Strong or another company, here’s what you should expect from a professional fence contractor in Dallas–Fort Worth:

1. Transparent Estimates

Your estimate should clearly break down:

Materials used
Labor costs
Timeline for completion
Warranty terms

2. Material Quality

Ask where the contractor sources their materials. Are the wood pickets true measurement or undersized? Is the wood pre-stained by dipping (better coverage) or sprayed (less consistent)?

3. Warranty Coverage

A strong workmanship warranty is a sign your contractor stands behind their work. Stand Strong’s warranty covers any workmanship issues (like leaning posts) at no cost to you.

4. Compliance Expertise

Your contractor should understand local city permitting and HOA guidelines. We handle city and county permits fully and guide homeowners through HOA submissions.

5. Crew Experience

Years in the business matter. Ask about the crew that will actually be on your property - not just the company’s owner.
