Watauga is a tight-knit Tarrant County suburb of post-war homes on regular lots, where cedar privacy fences line most property lines and the expansive clay soil beneath keeps fence posts working hard year-round. When a fence leans, sags, or a gate drags off its hinges, it's usually a post problem, not a panel problem, and that's where we come in.
Fort Worth Fence Company has been serving Watauga (76148) and the surrounding Fort Worth area since 2010.

Fence Service in Watauga (76148)
Watauga's housing stock is mostly single-family homes built in the post-war era, sitting on regular-sized lots with cedar and vinyl privacy fences defining the property lines. The real challenge here is the soil. Tarrant County's expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that constant movement heaves fence posts out of plumb, racks them sideways, and eventually tips the whole fence line. A fence that's visibly leaning is almost always a post problem: the concrete footing has failed, the post has rotted at the ground line where moisture collects, or the post was never set deep enough or firm enough to hold against the soil's movement.
Most of the fence work we do in Watauga is repair and post reset. A cedar fence that's been standing for fifteen or twenty years often needs the back posts reset in fresh concrete, or one or two posts replaced where rot has taken hold at the base. We've been doing this work since 2010, and we know when a repair will hold and when the better spend is a full fence replacement. We're fully insured, and our crews are experienced in the specific challenges of Watauga's soil and housing patterns.

How a Fence Repair or Post Reset Works in Watauga
You call us at (817) 632-6893 or reach out online, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We come out, walk the fence line, check post condition and concrete footings, and tell you straight what's wrong and what it will cost to fix. If a post is rotten or heaved, we explain whether resetting it in new concrete will do the job or whether replacement is the better choice. We also check gate operation, hinge condition, and any storm damage.
Once you approve the work, we schedule the job. For post resets in Watauga, we excavate around the bad post, remove the old concrete if it's failed, and reset the post plumb in fresh concrete. We set the concrete deep enough and firm enough to hold against the clay soil's movement. If a post is rotted or beyond reset, we remove it and install a new pressure-treated post set in concrete. We work from your existing property line and coordinate with any HOA rules that apply to your neighborhood.
When the work is done, we clean up all debris and walk the fence line with you to make sure the repair is solid and the fence is plumb. We leave your property clean and your fence ready for years more service.
Fence repair in Watauga typically runs from $400 for a simple repair to $425 and up for a post reset or replacement, depending on how many posts need work and how deep the concrete footings need to go. A full fence replacement on a standard lot runs $2,200 and up, depending on material and linear footage. Cedar privacy fence installation starts at $24 per linear foot, vinyl at $34 per linear foot, and chain link at $14 per linear foot. Gate installation and repair runs $450 and up. The main cost drivers are the number of posts that need work, the depth of concrete required for your soil conditions, the material you choose, and whether the job is repair or new installation. Call us at (817) 632-6893 for a free estimate on your specific fence, and we'll give you a realistic price based on what we find on site.
