Austin & Cedar Creek, Texas’s Premier Fence Installation by Red Knights Construction LLC

Austin’s climate—hot, dry summers and occasional heavy storms—can take a toll on certain fencing materials. For longevity and performance, cedar is a top choice due to its natural resistance to moisture, insects, and warping. Pressure-treated wood and vinyl are also strong contenders, offering durability with minimal maintenance. Red Knights Construction assesses each client’s property and preferences to recommend the most weather-appropriate material, ensuring your investment withstands Austin’s unique conditions.

Regular maintenance can add years to your fence’s life. For wooden fences, it’s vital to stain or seal every 2–3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage. Keep debris and landscaping away from the base to prevent rot and pests. Inspect annually for loose boards, nails, or signs of wear. Red Knights Construction offers post-installation care advice and maintenance plans to keep your fence looking sharp and structurally sound.

Absolutely. A professionally installed fence enhances both aesthetics and functionality, which can significantly boost your home’s curb appeal and market value. In neighborhoods across Austin, privacy fences, decorative wood fencing, or modern horizontal styles are increasingly in demand. Red Knights Construction designs fences with both style and utility in mind, helping you make a smart investment that pays off whether you’re staying long-term or planning to sell.

DIY fence installations often lead to uneven posts, inadequate anchoring, poor material choices, or violations of local zoning laws. Many homeowners underestimate the complexity of grading, alignment, or post depth—issues that can lead to structural failure over time. Red Knights Construction ensures every install meets code, is properly engineered for your terrain, and looks great—saving you time, money, and future headaches.

In most cases, yes—especially if the fence exceeds 6 feet in height or is within floodplains, easements, or visibility triangles. The City of Austin has specific guidelines regarding fencing near sidewalks, neighbors, and streets. Red Knights Construction handles all permitting and code compliance on your behalf, so you don’t need to worry about paperwork or unexpected violations.

Your fence should align with your property’s function, aesthetic, and neighborhood norms. Do you need privacy, security, pet containment, or simply a visual boundary? Different goals call for different materials and layouts. Red Knights Construction walks you through design consultations to ensure your fence fits your lifestyle, enhances property value, and meets HOA or municipal regulations.

Most residential fences can be installed in 2–5 days depending on size, terrain, and weather. However, the entire process—including consultation, design approval, material delivery, and permitting—can take 1–3 weeks. Red Knights Construction maintains transparent timelines, keeps you informed at each stage, and works efficiently without compromising craftsmanship.

Beware of low bids that omit key components like gates, hardware, old fence removal, or permit fees. Soil conditions can also affect pricing—rocky or sloped terrain may require deeper posts or additional reinforcement. Red Knights Construction provides all-inclusive quotes with a detailed breakdown, so you understand exactly what you’re paying for, with no last-minute surprises.

Good communication goes a long way. Let neighbors know your intentions ahead of time, especially if the fence will border shared property lines. You may also want to discuss cost-sharing or shared design preferences. Red Knights Construction ensures fences are installed within legal boundaries and can offer tips on maintaining positive neighbor relationships throughout the process.

Yes, fences can be tailored for pet containment, with specific design considerations for different species and sizes. For dogs, Red Knights Construction recommends fences at least 4–6 feet tall, with minimal gaps and strong materials like chain link or cedar. Optional add-ons include dig guards, self-closing gates, or view panels to reduce anxiety in high-traffic areas.
