How it works

From first call to finished project

  1. Free estimate

    We visit your property, measure the fence line, pergola or deck area, talk through materials, size and layout, and check slopes and access.

  2. Written quote

    You get a clear, itemized written quote with materials, add-ons and terms. No pressure. Quotes are good for 30 days.

  3. Install

    Once you approve, utilities are located through 811 and our partner crew builds your project. Most fences take 1–3 days on site.

  4. Cleanup & walkthrough

    We haul off scraps, clean up the work area and walk the finished job with you to make sure you're happy.

Why Burton Fence Company

Built for coastal wind and salt air

Corpus Christi weather is hard on fences, pergolas and decks. We build ours to stand up to it.

Deep concrete footings

Posts are set deep in concrete, with longer posts set deeper on 7–8 ft fences, so your fence stays straight when the wind picks up.

Galvanized hardware

Hot-dip galvanized and stainless fasteners resist rust in humid, salty coastal air. No cheap bright nails that streak and fail.

Built for the wind

Ground-contact posts, 2–4 rails depending on height, and heavier gate and corner post upgrades available where loads are highest.

Honest, fair quotes

Every quote is written and itemized, so you know exactly what you're getting. Honest and fair: no hidden fees, no pressure, no pushy upsells. We quote it straight and stand behind it.

Small, family-owned & local

You deal directly with the owner, not a call center. Wayne Burton handles your estimate and quote personally and stays your contact through installation and final walkthrough.

Clean job site

Cleanup is part of every install, and we can remove and haul away your old fence too.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you build pergolas and decks too?

Yes. Along with wood privacy fences, we build custom wood pergolas (pressure-treated pine or cedar, freestanding or attached) and decks (pine, cedar or composite boards like Trex or TimberTech, ground-level or raised). Every pergola and deck is custom, so you get a written quote after a free site visit.

Do I need a permit for a pergola or deck?

Often, yes. Under the City of Corpus Christi's homeowner permitting guide, attached pergolas/patio covers and detached ones over 200 sq ft need a permit, and decks need one if they are over 200 sq ft, over 30 inches high, attached to the house, or serve an exit door. We'll tell you at your estimate whether your project needs one. Permit fees are passed through at the City's cost, with no markup. Rules change, so we confirm current requirements for your address.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Corpus Christi?

It depends on the height and location of the fence. Permits and fees, where required, are the homeowner's responsibility unless included in your written quote; permit fees are passed through at cost. Taller fences (7–8 ft) may face height limits or need a permit or variance, so we recommend checking current City of Corpus Christi rules for your property, and we'll talk it through at your free estimate.

What about my HOA?

If your neighborhood has an HOA, get their approval before installation. Approval is the homeowner's responsibility, but we're happy to provide the fence height, style, materials and a layout sketch for your application.

Who calls 811 to locate utilities?

We call Texas 811 to have public utility lines marked before any digging. Please allow 2–3 business days for locates. Private lines such as sprinklers/irrigation, invisible pet fences, landscape lighting and septic need to be marked by the homeowner.

How long does it take?

Scheduling depends on the season; we'll give you a timeline with your quote. Most fence installs take 1–3 days on site, weather permitting; pergolas and decks vary with size and design, and your quote includes an estimated timeline.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. A deposit is due at signing to schedule your install and order materials; the balance is due on completion. Quotes are valid for 30 days because lumber costs change.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship, and materials are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Storm/hurricane damage, ground movement and misuse aren't covered. Warranty terms are spelled out in your written quote.

Who actually builds my fence, pergola or deck?

Owner Wayne Burton quotes every job personally (estimate, design and quote) and stays your point of contact from start to finish. The installation is done by our professional partner crew.

Wood or composite for a deck?

Pressure-treated pine is the lowest upfront cost; cedar looks warmer and naturally resists rot. Both need cleaning and a fresh coat of stain/sealer every couple of years in our sun. Composite costs more upfront but doesn't need staining, which a lot of coastal homeowners like. Either way, the frame is ground-contact pressure-treated lumber with coastal-grade fasteners.

Pine or cedar: which should I choose?

Pressure-treated pine is the value pick and holds up well, especially when stained/sealed. Cedar costs a bit more, has a warmer look and naturally resists rot and insects. Both options use pressure-treated posts and rails set in concrete. Note: let new pressure-treated wood dry before staining; we'll advise on timing.
