Johnson Fence is the best fence company in Fort Worth for homeowners who want the job done right, on time and without surprises. We back every start date with over 100 crews, measure and quote on site for free, and stand behind the work with a one-year craftsmanship warranty.
Here is what you are up against: a fence that failed too soon, a quote that left out the picket grade, a crew that never came back.
Why Johnson Fence is the best Fort Worth fence company
Johnson Fence answers each one with over 100 crews, an on-site measure and a one-year craftsmanship warranty.
A 1-star Google review from March 27, 2026, describes a Texas fence company that never arrived for the evaluation. The reviewer wrote: “No showing an initial evaluation and quote with no notifications”
A 2-star Google review from March 25, 2026, names slow turnaround and no follow-through on revisions. A 1-star Google review from September 25, 2026, describes a deposit paid and then silence. None of those buyers got a fence.
When you compare companies in Fort Worth, a star count tells you little about any of that. Crew depth, a measured quote and a written warranty tell you whether the job happens.
Which fence holds up best in Fort Worth soil and wind?
A properly installed wood fence should last about twenty years, and Fort Worth’s climate is kind to wood. The USDA Forest Products Laboratory puts Dallas at a decay index of 44.3, inside the moderate band of 35 to 65.
Houston sits at 77.2 in the same report, deep in the high-hazard band above 65. A Texas fence faces far less rot pressure in North Texas than on the Gulf Coast.
That makes wood a sound pick here, if it is built right. We build fences with pressure-treated framing and cedar pickets. The framing carries the weight, and the cedar faces the weather.
Wood is graded from #1 picket through #3 picket and priced accordingly, so the grade on your quote sets the price. If you want to skip wood, composite carries a market range of $30 to $55 a foot, measured by HomeGuide and Ergeon. Wood from pine to cedar carries a market range of $18 to $45 a foot, measured by HomeGuide, Angi and HomeAdvisor.
What does a fence cost per foot in Fort Worth?
Installed in Texas, a 6 ft cedar privacy fence costs $25 to $55 per linear foot (Fence Advisors, 2026). Pressure-treated pine of the same height costs $18 to $35 on that same statewide range.
Fence Advisors’ 2026 guide gives those as Texas statewide figures. Fort Worth sits inside that range, and your price lands where it does because of the picket grade, the footage and the gates.
Metal costs more, and the labels confuse buyers. FenceLevel says to expect about $30 to $65 per linear foot installed for what’s sold as wrought iron, which it says is almost always tubular steel, not forged iron (FenceLevel, 2026). HomeGuide puts wrought iron at $50 to $85 per linear foot installed, depending on height, type, iron quality and coating (HomeGuide, 2026). Modern Fence tells homeowners to budget roughly $25 to $70 per linear foot for most residential iron-style fences (Modern Fence, 2026).
Chain link follows its own pattern. Ergeon’s booked installs show 4-foot, 5-foot and 6-foot chain link clustering around $36 to $43 per linear foot (Ergeon, 2026). The real step up comes at 7 feet, about $75 a foot, and at 8 feet, about $78 a foot.
What should a Fort Worth fence quote spell out?
A Fort Worth fence quote should name the fence type, the picket grade, the post depth, the concrete and what happens to the old fence. Johnson quotes the picket grade, #1 to #3, by name.
We measure your fence line before we price it. The quote is the price you pay. A figure given over the phone from the address is only ever called a rough estimate, never the quote. Our salesperson meets you on site, measures the linear footage, and confirms fence type and picket grade.
Ask every company the same four things. Is old fence removal included? How deep are the posts, and are they set in concrete? Is the fence cedar or treated pine? Is the picket grade written down?
A quote that skips these leaves room for trouble later. A 2-star Google review from March 18, 2026, tells of a buyer who asked for a new fence in the same place as the old one. The reviewer said the gate ended up about 20 feet away, which meant a request to the HOA.
The deposit risk is real too. In a 1-star Google review dated September 25, 2026, the reviewer wrote: “They stole my money. Paid them a deposit and I never heard back from them. They asked that I pay with a check and not a credit card. Now I see why. Do not do business with them. I just saw that they lost their BBB accreditation.”
Our estimate is always free and always on site, with financing available. Call (877) 956-4676 or request an estimate online. It is an estimate for a fence, a gate, a deck or an outdoor project.
How do you know a Fort Worth fence crew will show up on the start date?
Ask how many crews stand behind the start date and what happens when one is out. Johnson Fence has over 100 crews in the field, so a missing crew does not stop a job. Customers’ own reviews describe the crew arriving and finishing when promised.
Laura J. gave five stars on SoTellUs in August 2026: “They finished the job in one day and the workmanship is fantastic”
The other side of the story shows in the reviews of other Texas companies. In the 2-star Google review from March 18, 2026, boards were left split and the reviewer says the company never came back for two of them. The stain visit promised after a few weeks had not happened almost two months later.
