Fence & Gate Installation in Austin, TX
A fence that's leaning, rotting at the posts, or simply the wrong height for your yard is more than a visual problem — it affects privacy, security, and property lines. DiamondPoint builds and replaces fences for Austin homeowners, handling everything from a single gate repair to a full perimeter rebuild.
Common Reasons Austin Homeowners Call Us
The back fence is leaning and the posts are rotting at ground level
Post rot is the most common reason fences fail in Austin. Ground-contact posts in wet soil deteriorate from the bottom up, and by the time the lean is visible the damage is already extensive. DiamondPoint replaces posts with properly treated lumber set in concrete, and evaluates whether the rails and pickets can be reused or need full replacement.
You need a privacy fence that actually provides privacy
A six-foot cedar privacy fence, properly built, lasts 15–20 years in Austin's climate. DiamondPoint spaces pickets correctly, caps the top rails, and uses galvanized hardware throughout so the fence holds together over time — not just for the inspection.
The gate sags and won't latch — or won't open at all
Gate failures are almost always a framing problem. DiamondPoint rebuilds gate frames with diagonal bracing, uses heavy-duty hinges rated for the gate weight, and installs latches that align properly and hold. A gate that worked for a year before failing usually never had adequate support to begin with.
Your neighbor's fence crew destroyed two sections of yours during their project
Fence damage from adjacent construction, a vehicle impact, or a fallen tree branch rarely gets repaired promptly because most fence companies prefer full-perimeter jobs. DiamondPoint handles isolated repairs — matching your existing fence style, replacing damaged sections cleanly, and leaving the property line looking right again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Austin?
Most residential fences in Austin do not require a permit if they are under six feet tall and are not in a front yard. Fences in flood zones, on corner lots, or in certain HOA-governed communities may have additional requirements. DiamondPoint checks your specific address for restrictions before starting.
How long does a cedar fence last in Austin?
A properly built cedar fence with quality hardware lasts 15–20 years in Austin. The key variables are post depth, post treatment, concrete footing quality, and whether the bottom rails are kept off the soil. DiamondPoint builds to these standards on every fence project.
Can you repair just one section of a fence instead of replacing everything?
Yes, in many cases. DiamondPoint evaluates whether the failing posts and pickets are isolated or whether the damage is progressive. We're direct about when a partial repair is a good investment and when the rest of the fence will fail within a few years anyway.
