You have a gate that drags, or two panels on the ground, and the last crew you called never called back. A short job is easy for a contractor to leave waiting, and you may already have waited.
At Johnson Fence, a small job gets the same measured quote, the same picket grade on paper and the same crew discipline as a whole subdivision. With over 100 crews, a single gate or a short section keeps its start date.
What counts as a small fence job at Johnson Fence?
A small job is a short section of replacement fence, one gate, or the stretch around a post that has failed. Johnson Fence takes these as well as full yards and whole developments, and each one is quoted and scheduled like any other job.
We price every project by custom quote after a free on-site estimate. We keep no fixed price list, because cost depends on fence type, materials, length, gates and site conditions. A short job has the same inputs as a long one, so it gets the same kind of quote.
Joe V. described exactly this kind of job in a four-star Google review from July 2026: “We had a small fence job. We were happy that Johnson was willing and able to take it on. Completed fence looks great.”
Will a big Texas fence company really show up for a small replacement?
Yes. Over 100 crews means one missed crew does not stop a job, so a small job keeps its start date instead of sliding behind bigger work. We completed more than 20,000 projects last year, and small jobs are among them.
What goes wrong when a job is small shows up in other Texas fence companies’ own reviews. A one-star Google review from February 16, 2026 reads: “Never heard from him ever again despite numerous texts and calls to the business”. Silence after the first call is the warning sign to watch for.
When you call us, a salesperson takes the call live if one is free. Otherwise we log the lead and the salesperson calls back, almost always the same day. Estimate requests get a reply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the damage started as a repair, we measure the fence line and quote a replacement.
How does Johnson Fence measure and quote a small fence job?
Every Johnson Fence project, small ones included, gets a no-charge visit at your address, with the footage measured in your yard. The quote sets cost by the footage, the fence type, any gates and the site conditions, with the picket grade (#1 through #3) written on it.
Our salesperson meets you on site and confirms four things:
- Footage: measured with a tape on your fence line, never stepped off from the street.
- Fence type: confirmed on site, along with the picket grade by name.
- Gates: counted and priced into the same quote.
- Site conditions: part of the price before anyone starts.
The estimate is free with nothing to sign, and the quote comes the same day. A figure given over the phone from your address is only ever a rough estimate. The quote is the price you pay.
What does a small fence repair or replacement cost in Texas?
Wood fence costs $18 to $45 a foot installed, according to HomeGuide, Angi and HomeAdvisor, so a short section stays small in dollars. Our quote is measured in your yard, with tear-out and haul-off in the price.
| Material | Market range | Who measured it |
|---|---|---|
| Wood, pine to cedar | $18 to $45 a foot | HomeGuide, Angi, HomeAdvisor |
| Ornamental steel or iron | $45 to $90 a foot | HomeGuide, Angi |
| Vinyl privacy | $30 to $60 a foot | HomeGuide, Ergeon |
| Chain link | $12 to $28 a foot | HomeGuide, Angi |
| Composite | $30 to $55 a foot | HomeGuide, Ergeon |
| Brick fence, 3 to 6 ft | $60 to $240 a foot | HomeGuide, January 2026 |
| Brick privacy wall, 6 to 8 ft | $200 to $360 a foot | Angi, July 2026 |
| Brick or stone column | $500 to $3,000 each | HomeGuide, January 2026 |
| Wood deck addition | $18,263 national average, 94.9% recouped at resale | Zonda, 2025 Cost vs. Value |
| Automatic driveway gate | $1,600 to $13,000 installed, most about $7,000; $2,380 to $8,000 on Angi | HomeGuide 2026; Angi, August 2026 |
Texas sits below the national wood-fence range of $20 to $50 a foot (HomeGuide, 2026; HomeAdvisor, 2025). Houston-area wood privacy fences are quoted at $16 to $42 a foot (Angi Houston and HomeBlue, 2025 to 2026). A single gate is its own price: an automatic driveway gate costs $1,600 to $13,000 installed (HomeGuide, 2026).
Those are market figures for a six-foot fence on flat ground. Ours comes from the footage we measure at your address. We buy wood pickets in volume and pass the savings to you, so you pay less for the same fence.
Does a small fence job get the same spec as a big one?
Yes. The picket grade is on the quote whether the job is a gate or a whole yard, and savings from our buying power come as a lower price for the same spec, never a thinner one. A small job carries the same one-year craftsmanship warranty as a large one.
Cheyenne M. wrote in a December 2025 Google review: “Great experience from start to finish. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and the fence turned out exactly how we wanted. Solid workmanship and fair pricing, would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a new fence.”
The warranty covers craftsmanship only. We say so up front so the one year means what it says.
What happens if the small job needs a callback?
Johnson Fence has had zero craftsmanship warranty callbacks across 20,000-plus jobs a year, and every job carries a one-year craftsmanship warranty. That is a craftsmanship warranty only.
We have replaced fences in Texas since 2002, and we stand behind what we build. The callback record is last year’s history. The one-year warranty is what stands behind your job after the crew leaves.
