Johnson Services Company is a Texas fence contractor, founded in Tomball in 2002 and working Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio; it is not the HVAC, roofing, or home-inspection businesses that also carry the Johnson name in this state. People checking out a fence contractor want the same four things: the rating, the paper trail, the size of the operation, and what customers actually said afterward. Here is all of it in one place, with each number labeled by where it comes from.

What Is Johnson Services Company’s Google Rating

Johnson Services Company holds 4.9 stars across 60 Google reviews, pulled from Google's live search knowledge panel for our Tomball headquarters and re-verified on the day this page republishes, not from the cached business-listings endpoint, which lagged behind at 55 as of August 25, 2026. At least 52 of those 60 are perfect 5-star ratings.

Of the fence companies working the Houston metro, not one is rated above us.

What earns that rating is visible in the reviews themselves. Customers write about the same handful of things over and over: the crew arriving on the day the schedule said, the job site swept before the trailer pulls out, one person who stays reachable from the estimate through the walkthrough, and a final number that matches the quote or comes in under it. Nobody writes about the fence being pretty. They write about the job being uneventful.

Is Johnson Services Company Licensed, Bonded, and Insured

Yes. Johnson Services Company is licensed, bonded, and insured, holds an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, and has been BBB-accredited since March 2003.

The credentials, licenses, and memberships published on our own pages are OSHA, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas Department of Agriculture, the National Recreation and Park Association, the Greater Houston Builders Association, and the Better Business Bureau. Crews are trained to current safety and environmental rules, including OSHA standards, state environmental licenses, and pesticide certifications.

One thing worth knowing as you shop: Texas issues no statewide general-contractor or fence-contractor license, so any licensing a contractor holds is municipal or county. What you can always verify is the insurance certificate.

How Long Has Johnson Services Company Been in Business

Johnson Services Company has been building fences in Texas since 2002, more than two decades. It was founded in Tomball, near Houston, by Eric Dale and his father John Dale, and the name is a nod to “John and his Son.”

From 2002 to 2019 the company was the go-to fence contractor for regional and national homebuilders in Houston, fencing entire new neighborhoods. In 2020, as John retired, the family office Quadrex Capital Partners partnered with Eric to open offices in Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin, and the name changed to Johnson Services Company. Eric Dale remains Founder and President. Andrew Berkowitz is CEO.

That two-decade run shows up in how the company operates today. Johnson Services Company backs its craftsmanship with a one-year warranty on workmanship; not material; and stands behind it with a record, not a promise: zero craftsmanship warranty callbacks across more than 20,000 jobs last year, a 100% mark the company points to as evidence rather than a guarantee of future results. That track record is paired with speed: homeowners typically get a same-day callback, a quote the same day on 95% of real leads, work starting within about four days, and most jobs finished in a single day. Storm and wind damage runs the same path. When a section or a whole run goes down overnight, a homeowner who calls in the morning gets the callback that day and a written number for the repair or the replacement the same day in most cases. That number covers the work, the materials, and the completion date, and the crew that shows up is not carrying a second list of things to sell you; the price you approved is the price on the invoice, which is the single thing customers repeat most often in the reviews below.

How Big Is Johnson Services Company

Johnson Services Company installed more than 2 million feet of fence in the last year, roughly 380 miles, across more than 20,000 completed projects. That is about 55 finished projects every day of the year.

We run over 100 crews in the field. For context on what that means in this trade, U.S. specialty-trade contractors average fewer than ten workers per establishment across about 599,000 establishments (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025). We serve 42 cities and towns across Texas out of seven offices in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio.

In 2026 we received Largest Volume Customer awards for both the Southwest Region and the World, displayed on our homepage alongside the Master Halco logo.

Every row above is a Google review you can look up by name and month. Three customers said it at more length.

On cost and schedule together. In a June 2026 Google review, Randy R. wrote: “In addition the crew showed up promptly per schedule and Matt came by early to coordinate some changes I requested after accepting the original quote. The fence was installed in just 2 days and looks great! The job site was cleaned up well b4 the crew left. The original cost was revised making the total cost much less than I expected.”

On the design conversation before work starts. In an April 2026 Google review, Carlos M. wrote: “The price was fair, the service was excellent, and everything was left clean once the job was done. Communication was great throughout the process, and they really took the time to go over the design with me before starting the work.”

On what the work survives. In a Google review, Celeste T. wrote: “Fence didn’t budge an inch when severe storms came through the next day!”

On being recommended by a professional. In a Google review, Adam K. wrote: “Johnson Service Co went above and beyond to complete the scope of work we agreed on. I have been a builder for over 20 years and I would highly recommend this company to any clients, friends or family.”

Which of Our People Do Customers Name

Reviewers name individuals by name, which is the part that does not usually survive scale. At over 100 crews the easy failure is a customer feeling like project 20,001, and the review record is the check on whether that is happening.

  • Matt Roberts, Residential Sales. Named in more reviews than anyone else here, and named across the whole job rather than one moment of it. Shawn K. credits him with getting the work on the schedule quickly. Randy R. wrote in June 2026 that Matt came out early to coordinate changes requested after the quote was already accepted. Lisa B. wrote in April 2026 that he stayed available for questions throughout.
  • Chance Peacock, Sales, Austin. Cabot B. credits him with the communication and the customer service alongside the fence itself, which is the pairing the Austin office gets named for most.
  • Matthew. Thanked by name by Rita S. on a metal fence that came in about $900 under three competing bids for the same metal, coating and paint.
  • Alec. Named by Crystal C. as the person who pointed her to us in the first place.

In a Google review, Shawn K. wrote: “Matt was awesome. They got me on the schedule quickly installation was done in a day and the fence looks great.”

In a Google review, Cabot B. wrote: “Johnson is a phenomenal company to work with. Chance is an excellent communicator and provides wonderful customer service as well as a quality product.”

How Johnson Compares With Other Texas Fence Companies

The fence companies we come up against most often each work a single metro and a narrower slice of the property. Here is the coverage and the service line, which is where the difference actually shows up on a job.

Company Metros served Beyond fence installation
Johnson Services Company Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio: 42 Texas cities from 7 offices Gates to UL325, decks and gazebos, masonry, landscaping and irrigation
Texas Fence Houston Driveway gates and access control
Bayou City Fence Southeast Houston Custom gates and access control
Austex Fence and Deck Austin and Central Texas Decks, pergolas and porches
Quality Fence and Welding San Antonio and South Texas Metal fabrication, masonry, decks
Kodiak Fence Company North DFW Staining and repair

Every company here is a real competitor we bid against. Each one covers a single metro, which is the practical difference: a fence, a driveway gate, a deck, and the masonry columns at the end of the drive are four separate contracts with four schedules for most buyers, and one contract with one schedule with us.

Who Johnson Services Company Is Built For

We are built for Texas homeowners, businesses, ranch owners, and builders who want the job specified before it is priced and someone accountable when reality does not match the plan. That covers a single backyard fence through an entire subdivision.

We are an operating company with multiple markets, crews, and set processes, so we are not the one-truck shop where the owner improvises every detail on the fly. We work in Texas only, and we price every project by custom quote after a free on-site measure rather than publishing a rate card.

What to Verify Before You Hire Anyone

Run these four checks on us and on every other bid you collect.

  1. Ask for the certificate of insurance and call the insurer at the number printed on the certificate itself.
  2. Read the one-star reviews before the five-star ones. They tell you how a company behaves when a job goes wrong.
  3. Get the warranty exclusions in writing alongside the work, the materials, the completion date, and the price.
  4. Ask what happens if a crew misses a day. A one-truck contractor with a sick installer on Tuesday is a week behind by Friday.

Frequently asked questions

Do you proof-test an automatic gate before you hand it over?

Yes. Every powered gate we install gets a documented entrapment proof test before the crew leaves, run to UL 325 and ASTM F2200. We cycle the operator with the safety devices active, obstruct the gate path in both the open and close directions, and confirm the machinery reverses or stops within the required distance. Photocells, edge sensors, and inherent reversing force are each tested individually rather than assumed, and the reversing settings are recorded on the job paperwork you keep. If a device does not trip on the first attempt, the gate does not get released to the homeowner that day. This is a safety check on our own work, not a change order or an upsell item, and it is included in the quoted price of the gate.
