Six things that move your price
Grade and slope
Sloped runs need stepped or raked panels, which means more fabrication time and more posts.
Dallas clay soil
Expansive clay moves. We set posts deeper with larger concrete footings, which costs more up front and prevents lean later.
Access
If a crew can't get equipment to the line, holes are hand dug. Tight side yards and mature trees add labor.
Coating
Powder coat outlasts spray paint by years in Texas sun. It's a premium worth paying on any fence you want to forget about.
Permits and HOA
Heights over 8 ft, pool barriers and corner-lot sight lines trigger city review. We handle submittals.
Gate automation
Openers, keypads, intercoms, safety loops and a power run are the biggest single line item on most quotes.
Pricing questions we get every week
Is steel fencing cheaper than wood in Dallas?
Not up front. Wood runs $22–$35 per linear foot installed; steel starts around $38. Over 15 years steel usually wins because there are no rotted pickets, no leaning posts and no restaining.
How much does a 150 ft steel fence cost?
For a standard 6 ft welded panel fence, budget roughly $5,700–$7,800 installed in the Dallas area, plus tear-out if there's an existing fence.
