Fence Options

Materials We Install for Houston Homes

Wood

Single-faced, double-faced, and horizontal styles are popular choices for a more aesthetic design. Western Red Cedar with steel posts in concrete for maximum longevity.

Ornamental Iron

Front-yard perimeters, driveway entries, and pool barriers — ornamental iron delivers the most premium look and longest lifespan of any residential fence material.

Chain Link

Dog runs, back-of-property enclosures, and budget-conscious applications. Commercial-grade galvanized pipe available for improved longevity in Houston's humid climate.

Pool Fence

Code-compliant pool barriers in aluminum, iron, or vinyl with self-closing, self-latching gates — latch positioned at least 54 inches above ground level. Meets Texas IRC requirements — 48-inch minimum height, self-latching gate required.

Vinyl & Aluminum

Rust-free, low-maintenance options well-suited for pool perimeters and front-yard applications where HOA aesthetic standards require a clean, painted look.

Automated Gates

Swing and slide driveway gates with keypad, remote, or smartphone control — designed to UL 325 safety standards. New power circuits require a licensed electrician, arranged separately by the homeowner.

Our Process

How a Griffin Fence Residential Project Works

Free On-Site Estimate

We meet at your property, measure the fence line, discuss material options and HOA requirements, and provide a written quote with options across price points. Quote is good for 14 days.

HOA Documentation

For customers in governed communities, we provide the drawings and material specifications needed for HOA architectural review submission.

Schedule & Install

Once approved, our scheduling team books your start date and we submit an 811 locate ticket so underground utilities are marked before digging. Most residential projects start within 1 to 3 weeks. A typical backyard fence installs in 1 to 2 days.

Walk-Through & Warranty

Final inspection together before we leave. Every installation backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty. Financing available for qualified buyers.

HOA Requirements & Houston Neighborhoods

More than half of the Houston metro is covered by HOA or deed restriction rules governing fence design. The most common requirements: approved materials (wood, most commonly Western Red Cedar; iron; vinyl — chain link rarely approved from the street), height limits (6 feet most common for backyards; 4 feet for front yards), and post orientation (finished face toward neighbors and street).

Cedar board-on-board with steel posts is the most common HOA-approved configuration in Katy, Cypress, and Sugar Land master-planned communities. Heights and Memorial neighborhoods tend toward ornamental iron for front perimeters. The Heights and older Houston neighborhoods have deed restrictions rather than HOA rules — we advise on both before installation begins.

Material Quality: Griffin Fence recommends Western Red Cedar for pickets, Pressure Treated Ground Contact Pine for structure, and aluminum screw shank nails on pickets. Steel posts in concrete rather than wood posts extend fence life significantly in Houston's soil and climate.
