Fencing & Gates in Conroe and the Greater Houston Area
A fence is your privacy, your property line, and the first impression of your backyard, and around here, it has to survive shifting clay, heavy rain, and the occasional hurricane. Palacios Construction Group builds and fully replaces wood privacy fences, custom and automatic gates, and pool-code fencing for homeowners across Conroe, Willis, the Lake Conroe area, and greater Houston. We specialize in complete fence replacements and full property-line setups, not quick patch jobs.
How Fencing & Gates Are Priced
Fencing is priced by length, material, height, and the gates involved, so the right way to price it is to measure your property line. Your exact price comes in a free written estimate.
Free on-site estimate
We do not charge for estimates. Joel measures the property line, talks through materials and gates, and gives you a written quote at no cost and no obligation.
Typical project range
What a fence costs depends on the length of the run, the material, and the height. Cedar costs more than pressure-treated pine, taller fences cost more than standard heights, and longer property-line setups scale up. Because the variables are so different from yard to yard, an on-site measurement is the only way to give you a number you can rely on.
Gates and premium options
Custom gates, automatic driveway gate operators with access control, metal and wrought-iron fencing, and full property line setups on acreage are priced based on scope. We lay each option out clearly so you can decide what fits your budget.

Why Fences Are Built Differently Around Lake Conroe
The soil, the rain, the storms, and the communities all shape how a fence should be built here. These are the realities we build around.
Expansive clay and post heave
Houston-Black clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that movement is the number-one reason fences lean and fail in our area. Posts set too shallow or without solid concrete footings get pushed and pulled until the fence racks. We set posts deep and solid for our soils, because the posts are where a fence lives or dies here. The same soil that cracks driveways and patios works fence posts loose, which is why we bring the same ground-up discipline to a fence that we bring to our concrete.
Heavy rain and saturated ground
Our area sees well over 50 inches of rain a year, and gumbo clay holds water at the post line. Saturated ground accelerates post movement and rot, which is why proper footings and the right materials matter so much. We build with that wet-and-dry cycle in mind rather than ignoring it.
Humidity, rot, and wood choice
Our humidity is hard on wood fences. Pressure-treated pine is treated to resist rot and is the durable, affordable standard here, while cedar naturally resists decay and weathers beautifully. We help you choose the wood that fits your budget and how much maintenance you want, and we can stain or seal it to extend its life.
Hurricane season and storm damage
Storms like Hurricane Beryl flatten fences across Montgomery and north Harris counties, and the rebuild cycle runs for months afterward. We rebuild storm-damaged fences properly and can work with your insurance on the claim, so the new fence is stronger than the one the storm took down. We build the replacement to stand up better to the next storm, with solid footings and sound construction rather than the minimum the old fence had.
Acreage and ranch properties
The Magnolia, Plantersville, and Anderson areas are full of acreage and horse properties that need long fence runs, ranch fencing, and custom gates. We build full property-line setups for these larger lots, sized and styled for the way rural properties actually use a fence. These projects involve long runs and bigger gates, and we plan the layout, post spacing, and access points around how a working property actually moves people, vehicles, and animals.
Pool-code enforcement
Montgomery County requires a 4-foot, self-closing, self-latching fence around residential pools, and inspectors enforce it. We build pool fencing to code so a new pool passes inspection and an existing pool stays compliant for insurance and safety. Getting this right is not just about passing inspection; it is a real safety barrier for children and pets, and we treat it that way.
HOA and community standards
Master-planned communities around Lake Conroe, Walden, Bentwater, and The Woodlands have rules about fence height, style, and materials. We build to those standards and help you stay within the guidelines, so your new fence is approved rather than flagged.
