Fence or deck in the West South Central states
Sun and heat are hard on a deck in this region. Del Rio, Texas, averages 136 days a year at 90°F or hotter, Waco 112 and Lake Charles, Louisiana, 81. Heat like that dries wood boards until they check and split, fades stain quickly and leaves dark composite too hot for bare feet.

Questions homeowners ask
How accurate is a photo estimate?
It’s a ballpark, not a quote. A photo tells us a lot about the material and size, but a local pro who walks the yard will always be more precise. Use our number as the range to expect before you start calling around.
How is a fence priced versus a deck?
Fences are usually priced by the foot and decks by the square foot. We’ll ask one quick question to tell which you’re after, then size it from your photo and your answers.
Which materials can you estimate?
Wood, vinyl, chain-link and metal for fences; pressure-treated wood and composite for decks. Material is the single biggest price swing, so it’s worth picking the one you want.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no credit card, no spam. We only make money if you choose to connect with a local pro — and that’s up to you.
What photo works best?
A wide shot of where the fence or deck will go — or of the old one you’re replacing — works best.
