Step one is your free written estimate. We visit your Richmond property, measure the installation area, assess soil conditions, note obstructions and drainage considerations, review your HOA or permit requirements, and produce a detailed written quote. No verbal estimates. No price surprises after installation begins.
Step two is permit and HOA coordination. Griffin Fence confirms the permit status for your specific address, files permit applications where required, and prepares ARC submission packages for HOA communities. This upfront coordination means your installation starts on schedule rather than being delayed by paperwork issues that surface mid-project.
Houston Note: Houston’s gumbo clay soil and hurricane wind exposure require deeper post footings and galvanized hardware than national minimums.

Our crews arrive on the scheduled date, remove and haul off existing fence if replacement is needed, set posts with concrete footings, install fence material, hang gates, and clean up before leaving. Every installation comes with Griffin Fence's 1-year workmanship warranty.
