Fence company in San Antonio

Klema Builders is a San Antonio fence company serving San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. The team designs and builds custom cedar privacy fences, horizontal board fences, and wrought iron fencing engineered for Texas weather and HOA approval. A 150-foot cedar privacy fence is built in 2 to 4 days on site. Every project includes HOA submissions where required, a fixed-price quote line by line after a free on-site consult, utility locates before digging, and a final walk-through together.

The price of a fence in San Antonio depends on the length of the run, height, material (cedar privacy, horizontal board, wrought iron or chain link), gates, rock or clay under the post holes, slope, and HOA review. Klema Builders does not publish a price list: after a free in-home consult you get a written fixed-price quote, line by line, within 3 to 5 business days, and that quote is the total you pay. Every Klema Builders quote is fixed-price, line by line, before we set a post.

A six-foot cedar privacy fence is the workhorse of San Antonio backyards: full screening, a clean look, and a price most HOAs and budgets accept without a fight. Horizontal board fencing is the modern upgrade, with wider planks and tight reveals that read as a design feature rather than a boundary. Wrought iron and steel fencing keep sightlines open, which is the right call for view lots, pool enclosures, and front yards. Most homes are not a single style. We often run cedar privacy along the side and back lines, then switch to iron across a front or view-facing section. At the consult we walk the whole property line and map the fence to how each part of the yard is actually used.

It depends on the city. The City of San Antonio typically requires a residential fence permit for a new fence or a repair of more than a quarter of one (filed online through Development Services), and corner lots, front yards, pool enclosures, easements and overlay districts carry their own rules. Cities around San Antonio set their own fence rules, so check with your city for your lot. Side and rear yard fences are typically capped at 6 feet. HOAs across Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, Cibolo, Schertz, and Fair Oaks Ranch commonly require an Architectural Control Committee review with a style, height, and material spec. Klema Builders prepares and submits the HOA package for you. Most San Antonio HOAs require an Architectural Control Committee review before a fence goes up, with a defined style, height, material, and sometimes a stain color. We prepare the submission package in the language your HOA expects and handle the back-and-forth so you are not chasing paperwork. We also confirm city and county rules for corner lots, easements, and pool-enclosure code, and we call 811 for utility locates before any post hole is dug. Approvals and locates are part of the job, not your homework.

For wood, Western red cedar outperforms pressure-treated pine because it resists warping and insect damage in the Texas heat. For maximum lifespan, wrought iron and steel fencing last 30 years or more with minimal upkeep. We help you weigh privacy, budget, and maintenance tolerance and recommend the material that fits how you actually use the yard. Western red cedar is our default privacy material because it resists warping, cupping, and insects far better than pressure-treated pine in the Texas climate. Left untreated it silvers gracefully. Sealed and stained, it holds a warm tone for years. Either way, cedar earns its place. For fencing that should outlive the house, wrought iron and welded steel are the answer. We fabricate iron fencing, finish it for long Texas UV life, and design it to carry the same picket spacing and top detail as your gates and railings. We will tell you plainly which material fits your budget and your maintenance tolerance.

Most residential fence projects take 2 to 4 days of on-site work once materials are staged and underground utilities are located. Larger acreage perimeters, hillside lots, and limestone-heavy ground take longer. We give you a written schedule at quote signing and call 811 for utility locates before any post hole is dug.
