Hurricane Harvey in 2017 caused catastrophic flooding in Jersey Village, with the city experiencing some of its worst flooding in recorded history. Fence damage was widespread. Beryl 2024's winds caused additional damage across the city's established tree canopy.
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.
