Montgomery County's rapid growth has brought development into areas with significant storm exposure. Hurricane Harvey brought extreme rainfall to Conroe in 2017, flooding the Lake Conroe area and causing widespread fence damage. Beryl's July 2024 winds affected Grand Central Park and Woodforest significantly.
After Harvey 2017 and Beryl 2024, Griffin Fence responded to significant fence repair demand across the Houston metro. Storm-damaged fences often show layered damage — what appears to be just missing boards on the surface often includes compromised posts below ground that need assessment before repair work begins. Griffin Fence's repair assessments are thorough: we check every post in a damaged section for structural integrity before recommending repair vs. replacement.
Not every damaged fence needs full replacement — and not every "repaired" fence is worth patching. Griffin Fence gives you a straight assessment: we evaluate post condition, board damage percentage, fence age, and remaining structural life, then give you the repair cost and the replacement cost so you can make an informed decision. Our goal is your long-term satisfaction, not the highest invoice.

Grand Central Park HOA and Woodforest HOA are both active communities with ARC processes. Lake Conroe waterfront properties often have additional deed restrictions governing fence materials and heights visible from the water. Unincorporated Montgomery County properties adjacent to Conroe may fall under county permit rules rather than city rules.
Under Texas SB 711 (September 1, 2025), replacing existing fence with identical materials does not require new HOA approval.

Conroe sits at the transition between Houston's heavy clay belt and the sandy soils of the Piney Woods. Near Lake Conroe and creek drainages, high soil moisture accelerates post rot. Montgomery County's varied terrain means post depth requirements differ across the city.
If your property is within the City of Conroe's city limits, a building permit is required for fence installation Houston, TX. Contact the City of Conroe at cityofconroe.org or call 936-522-3830 to confirm whether your address falls in the city and to start the permit process.
If your property is in unincorporated Montgomery County — which includes many areas surrounding Conroe proper — a Montgomery County permit is required for most residential fencing. Montgomery County Permitting is reached at mctx.org or 936-539-7815. The county's rules specify a maximum fence height of 6 feet 6 inches, fences must be installed on your property (not on the property line), the process requires a site plan submission, fees are non-refundable, and approval typically takes up to 3 business days once submitted. This is a meaningful difference from Harris County's unincorporated rules where no permit is typically required for standard fences under 8 feet.
