Why Griffin Fence? Houston's Fence Company Since 1979

47 years in the fence business is not an accident. It takes consistent quality, honest pricing, and a reputation built on thousands of satisfied customers who refer their neighbors. Griffin Fence has served Houston homeowners through every major storm since 1979 — from Hurricane Alicia to Harvey to Beryl — and we'll be here for the next one too.

47 Years of Houston Fence Experience

Griffin Fence was founded in 1979. At that time, Houston's master-planned communities — The Woodlands, Cinco Ranch, Sienna Plantation, Sugar Land's First Colony — were still years away from development. Our crews have grown with Houston through every major suburban expansion wave, learning the soil, the HOA rules, the permit processes, and the specific climate challenges of the Gulf Coast along the way.

When you hire a fence company founded in 1979, you are hiring a company that has navigated Houston's clay soil, Formosan termites, hurricane seasons, and changing HOA requirements across four and a half decades. That institutional knowledge — knowing what post depth works in Houston gumbo clay, knowing what stain lasts in Gulf Coast UV, knowing which Houston HOAs need what documentation — is not something a newer company can replicate.

Our best source of new business has always been referrals from satisfied customers. When a homeowner in Katy sees their neighbor's cedar wood privacy fence and asks who installed it, or when a Shadow Creek Ranch homeowner is replacing their 20-year-old fence and calls the same company that installed the original — that is the business model that has sustained Griffin Fence for 47 years.

4.5/5Customer Rating

Griffin Fence maintains a 4.9 out of 5 customer rating — reflecting consistent satisfaction across thousands of completed projects. Our reputation is the foundation of the business, and we work to earn it on every job.

★★★★★

"Griffin Fence installed a 6-foot cedar board-on-board privacy fence fence for our Cinco Ranch home. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and the fence looks exactly as described. They navigated the HOA approval for us and matched the stain color to my neighbor's fence perfectly."

— J. Martinez, Katy TX

Permit Check: Houston city limits don’t require permits for residential fences under 8 ft. Fort Bend County requires permits over 6 ft. HOA approval is separate from city permits.

★★★★★

"After Hurricane Beryl took down our fence, Griffin Fence was out quickly with a free estimate and had the new fence up within 3 weeks. Fair pricing, clean work, and they handled the permit. We're on our second Griffin Fence — wouldn't use anyone else."

— R. Thompson, Pearland TX

★★★★★

"We needed ornamental iron for our Memorial-area home — front yard, driveway gate installation Houston, TX, and pool enclosure. Griffin handled the entire project and the result is outstanding. The ironwork quality is exceptional and they were incredibly professional throughout."

— A. Williams, Houston TX

Own Crews — No Subcontractors

Griffin Fence installs every fence with its own trained crews. We do not use subcontractors. This is an important distinction that affects quality, accountability, and your experience as a customer:

  • Consistent training: Our crews train to Griffin Fence standards — proper post depth, concrete footing, rail attachment, and finishing quality are non-negotiable on every job
  • Direct accountability: If there is an issue after installation, we send the same caliber crew back to address it — not a subcontractor whose quality we can't guarantee
  • Workmanship warranty: We back our 1-year workmanship warranty because we control the work quality ourselves

1-Year Workmanship Warranty

Every Griffin Fence installation comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty covering:

  • Post installation to proper depth with adequate concrete footing
  • Secure attachment of rails and pickets
  • Proper alignment, leveling, and board spacing
  • Compliance with applicable building codes at time of installation
  • Gate hardware installation and adjustment

Material warranties are provided by manufacturers and passed through to customers. The 1-year workmanship warranty covers Griffin's installation — the craftsmanship behind the project.

Free Estimates and Online Estimator

Griffin Fence provides free written estimates for all projects. There is no cost and no obligation. Our estimators assess your specific site conditions, HOA requirements, and material needs to produce an accurate quote — not a range or a guess.

For homeowners who want a preliminary cost estimate before scheduling a site visit, our interactive online estimator allows you to enter footage, material, height, and gate count for a project cost range.

Serving Houston Through Four Decades of Storms

Houston's fence company must be storm-ready. Griffin Fence has responded to fence damage from every major hurricane and tropical storm to affect Houston in our 47-year history:

  • Hurricane Alicia (1983): Category 3 at Houston landfall — one of the earliest major storms Griffin Fence crews responded to
  • Tropical Storm Allison (2001): Catastrophic flooding across Houston — significant fence damage from debris and standing water
  • Hurricane Katrina aftermath (2005): Griffin Fence served homeowners displaced to Houston who needed fence installation on new properties
  • Hurricane Ike (2008): Category 2 at Galveston landfall — extensive fence damage across League City, Pearland, and south Houston, TX
  • Hurricane Harvey (2017): The benchmark storm — 60 inches of rain, widespread flooding, and enormous fence damage across the entire Houston metro. Griffin Fence crews worked throughout the post-Harvey rebuilding period.
  • Hurricane Beryl (2024): Griffin Fence responded to fence repair and replacement needs across Harris County and surrounding areas

When a major storm damages Houston fences, demand spikes dramatically. Griffin Fence has the capacity, material relationships, and crew resources to respond — and the 47-year track record of doing so.
