We are a family-owned and operated business that has been serving New Braunfels and the broader Comal County community for over 30 years. Founded by Jeff Shelton, retired educator with lifelong roots in this region, our company was built from the ground up on the principles of integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine community investment. Jeff and his wife, Sandra are part of this community and every project we take on reflects that.

New Braunfels is a city with deep character and a fast-growing future. From the historic neighborhoods near Gruene to the newer residential developments pushing outward toward Marion and Bulverde, the fencing and decking needs here are as diverse as the community itself. Our primary installation crew has worked together for over 20 years, which means the consistency and precision we deliver on every job comes from real shared experience rather than rotating labor. Whether you need a custom cedar privacy fence around a residential lot, a high-security perimeter for a commercial property, or a multi-level deck designed to take in the Hill Country, we have the expertise and the team to deliver it at the highest level. Call or text us today to schedule your free estimate.

Custom Residential Fencing Built for New Braunfels Properties

New Braunfels residential properties range from established in-town lots with mature landscaping to newer suburban developments and large estate properties on the edge of the Hill Country. We serve all of them, and we tailor every fencing installation to the specific characteristics of the property and the priorities of the homeowner.

Our Western Red Cedar privacy fencing is the most requested residential product we install throughout New Braunfels and Comal County. Cedar is a material that has proven itself in this climate over decades of use. It naturally resists moisture, insects, and warping under sustained heat exposure, which matters considerably in a region where summer temperatures are intense and extended. We select high-grade cedar for every installation and take the additional step of professional staining or waterproofing after installation to protect the wood against the elements and extend the structural life of your fence well beyond what an untreated installation would provide.

Post-setting is one of the areas where our craftsmanship makes the most difference on New Braunfels properties. The limestone soil and caliche layers common throughout Comal County require proper technique and equipment to ensure posts are set at the correct depth with adequate concrete and drainage. A post that is set incorrectly in this soil type will lean or fail within a few years. Ours do not. We have been working in this ground long enough to know exactly how to handle it, and that knowledge is reflected in the long-term stability of every fence we install.

For homeowners who want a fence that combines security with visual elegance, our ornamental wrought iron fencing is a compelling and durable option. We custom fabricate iron panels and gates to your specific dimensions and design preferences, finishing every piece with a heavy-duty powder coat that resists rust and UV degradation across the full range of Central Texas seasonal conditions. Custom iron gates with electric or solar-powered automation are also available for residential driveways and property entrances throughout the New Braunfels area.

Professional Fence Repair & Structural Restoration

One of the most practical and frequently requested services we provide throughout New Braunfels is professional fence repair and structural restoration. The combination of limestone soil movement, intense summer heat, and the occasional severe weather event creates real wear on fencing over time, and many properties in this area have fences that need targeted attention rather than full replacement.

We address the full range of fence repair needs, including leaning or shifted posts, damaged rails, deteriorating boards, sagging or misaligned gates, and storm damage of any severity. Our approach to every repair project begins with a thorough structural assessment. We identify the root cause of the problem rather than simply addressing its visible symptoms, which means our repairs hold up over the long term rather than failing again within a season or two.

For properties where post movement is the primary issue, we re-set posts using proper techniques for the local soil conditions to ensure the repaired fence line is as structurally sound as a new installation. For gates that have shifted off alignment due to post movement or hardware failure, we realign the gate, replace hardware as needed, and confirm smooth operation before we consider the job complete. We also offer emergency fence repair services for situations where storm damage or sudden structural failure requires an immediate response.

Custom Decks & Outdoor Living Spaces in New Braunfels

New Braunfels has an outdoor culture that is genuinely central to the lifestyle here. From the river parks to the Hill Country backdrop, residents invest in their outdoor spaces because they use them. We design and build custom decks and outdoor entertainment areas that are crafted around your property’s specific dimensions, your home’s architectural character, and the way you actually want to use your backyard.

Every deck project begins with a detailed design conversation that covers layout, elevation, railing style, stair configuration, and material selection. We do not apply a standard template to every build. Each deck we construct is custom configured to the property and the client, and we bring the same structural discipline to deck framing and joist work that we bring to post-setting on a fence installation. Heavy-duty framing built to the correct specifications for the load and span ensures your deck remains safe and structurally sound for decades rather than years.

For clients who prioritize long-term performance and minimal maintenance, composite decking from Trex or TimberTech is consistently our most recommended surface material. These products resist fading, warping, splintering, and moisture damage under the sustained heat and UV exposure that New Braunfels outdoor surfaces face throughout the year. They require very little upkeep to maintain their appearance and structural integrity, which makes them an excellent investment for any homeowner who wants a finished outdoor space that stays looking great without regular intervention.

This is one of the most important questions a New Braunfels homeowner can ask a fencing contractor, and it is an area where our 25-plus years of experience in this specific region pays real dividends. Limestone and caliche layers require proper augering techniques, the right equipment, and an understanding of how to configure post depth and concrete anchoring for the conditions present on your specific property. We have been setting posts in Comal County soil long enough to know how to do it correctly for long-term stability. A post that is set without accounting for local soil conditions is a post that will lean, shift, or fail within a few years. Every post we set is done with the technique and attention required to ensure it remains plumb and structurally sound for the life of the fence.


Yes, and we treat this as a standard part of every project rather than an optional add-on. We handle the permit application process with the City of New Braunfels and Comal County offices, provide all required documentation, and coordinate directly with the relevant offices on your behalf. For properties governed by an HOA, we factor the community’s design standards into the planning process from the beginning and ensure every element of the installation meets those requirements before work begins. Our goal is to remove the administrative burden from your plate entirely so that by the time our crew arrives to install, every required approval is already in place and every compliance requirement has been addressed.


Our residential fencing work is focused on delivering privacy, security, and curb appeal for homeowners throughout New Braunfels and the surrounding area.

We are experienced in both contexts and manage each with the professionalism it requires. For commercial clients, we install high-security chain link, ornamental iron perimeters, and heavy-duty privacy fencing configured for access control and site security. For municipal clients, we have experience with government-spec installations that require precise adherence to documented specifications and structured project timelines. Whatever the scale or complexity of your project, we have the experience and the team to handle it.


Yes. Repair and structural restoration is one of our core service areas throughout New Braunfels and Comal County.
