Common questions

Who removes old fences in San Antonio?

Klema Builders tears out old wood, chain link, iron and wire fences across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin in 1 to 3 business days, hauls the pickets, panels, rails and posts away and leaves the fence line graded or raked. Because Klema Builders also builds cedar, horizontal and iron fences, the old fence can come out and the new one go in on one quote. Every removal is quoted fixed-price, line by line, after a free in-home consult.

How much does fence removal cost in San Antonio?

Fence removal is priced by the length of the run, the material, how the posts are set, and access to the yard. You get a written fixed-price quote within 3 to 5 business days after a free site visit. If a new fence is going in, the tear-out and the new fence are one quote.

Who owns the fence on a shared property line?

Check with your neighbor before a shared fence comes down. We recommend a written agreement between neighbors for any fence on the line, and we can quote the removal and a new shared fence together.

Do I need a permit for fence removal in San Antonio?

No. The City of San Antonio does not require a demolition permit to remove a fence: its demolition bulletin lists fences among the exceptions. Historic and conservation districts can have their own rules, and a new fence may need a permit of its own. Source: City of San Antonio Information Bulletin 106, Demolition and Deconstruction (https://docsonline.sanantonio.gov/FileUploads/dsd/IB106.pdf).

How long does fence removal take?

1 to 3 business days on site for most jobs, from the first board off to the last load hauled and the ground graded or raked. The written quote arrives within 3 to 5 business days of the free site visit, and the start date is set when you sign.

Are concrete footings removed?

No. A standard Klema Builders removal takes down everything above ground and hauls it away; concrete footings, piers and pads stay where they are. Pulling concrete is a different service, handled separately. So is any siding, stucco or flashing repair where a structure was attached to the house.

More questions (2)
Is haul-away included?

Yes. Every Klema Builders removal includes hauling away everything that comes down, and leaving the yard graded or raked where the structure stood. There is no separate dumpster for you to rent or load.

Can you build something new where it was?

Yes. Klema Builders builds decks, pergolas, covered patios, patios and pavers, fences and landscaping, so the removal and what comes next can be one quote with one crew. Popular next steps: build a new fence, iron fencing, stain what stays.
