It's up to you! Some of our Greater Houston wood fence customers choose to split the cost of fence installation and occasionally ongoing maintenance with their neighbors when the fence is installed on their property line. However, some customers choose to pay for the fence themselves.
Pressure-treated pine has been treated to resist rot, decay, and pests to make a beautiful, long-lasting fence. On the other hand, Western Red Cedar is naturally resistant to rotting and decay and is usually considered more attractive and longer-lasting than pine. Pine is a more affordable option but is less popular in the Greater Houston area.
Absolutely! Wood is a natural material that will fade, discolor, rot, or break down without proper maintenance. Staining and sealing your fence helps it resist wear and tear, keeping your fence strong and beautiful for years to come. Additionally, professional staining and sealing services apply an even layer of stain to protect the entirety of your fence.
With proper maintenance, wood fences can last for 12-15 years. Proper maintenance includes regularly checking the fence for signs of rotting or damage, as well as staining and sealing the fence. Having your fence built and installed by professionals, like the team at SweetHome Exterior, will also ensure that your fence is strong, does not lean or sag, and is able to last for many years in the Greater Houston elements.
Our team of efficient, professional fence installers can install approximately 100 feet of fence each day. When we are walking your property to give you an accurate quote, we can tell you approximately how long the installation will take.
Wood fences typically have no warranty on materials, but they usually have a workmanship warranty.
However, there are specific options you can choose that may come with warranties, even on the materials! Speak with one of our fence experts to learn the details of the wood fence options you are considering.
Whether you need a residential wood fence or a commercial-grade wood fence, it generally only takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Greater Houston, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your wood fence project.
You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!
Once you approve the estimate, we can often install wood fences in most of Greater Houston within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.
Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom wood fence material, style, color, or options that must be specially ordered, your fence installation will often be delayed. Like nearly every fencing contractor in the Greater Houston, we do not stock a large amount of custom wood fencing options. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.
The frequency of staining depends on various factors, such as the type of wood, weather conditions, and sun exposure. As a general guideline, it is recommended to stain your fence every 2-3 years for optimal protection and appearance.
Staining your fence provides several advantages, including protection against weathering, UV rays, and moisture typical in the Greater Houston area. It also enhances the natural beauty of the wood, adds longevity to the fence, and helps resist rotting, warping, and insect damage.
Yes, our staining services offer a wide range of colors and finishes to suit your preferences. Whether you prefer a natural look or want to match a specific aesthetic, we can help you select the right stain that complements your property.

Irrigation is the process of supplying water to land areas to aid in agricultural growth or landscaping. It plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy plants, gardens, and lawns by ensuring they receive the right amount of water at the right time.
An irrigation system consists of various components such as pipes, valves, sprinklers, and timers. Water is pumped through the system and distributed evenly across the desired area. The timer controls the irrigation schedule, allowing for automated watering. We will install a custom irrigation system for your Greater Houston property.
In Texas, only a Texas licensed irrigator can make the installation. It is necessary to hire experienced professionals for all sized projects, from simple to complex systems. Designing and installing an efficient and effective irrigation system requires expertise to ensure proper water distribution and minimize water waste. We are licensed and insured!
