Refugio is a working farm-market town where ranching and agriculture define the landscape, and the soil beneath it all is what matters most. We serve Refugio (78377) and the surrounding Corpus Christi area with honest fencing and gate work built to handle the inland Gulf Coast climate.

Homeowners and ranch operators in Refugio call Corpus Christi Fencing because we understand what a fence has to do here: hold up to expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks with wet and dry cycles, resist the humidity that rots untreated wood at the ground line, and stay square and true year after year. We have been in business since 2016, and we work from the ground up, literally, because almost every fence problem starts at the post.

Fencing and Gates in Refugio (78377)

Refugio sits on inland terrain well away from the salt water table, which is good news for wood and vinyl fences. The real challenge here is the soil itself. The expansive clay that underlies Refugio and the surrounding county swells when it is wet and shrinks when it is dry. That cycle heaves fence posts, racks the rails and stringers, and can turn a straight fence line into a leaning fence line in just a few years if the posts are not set properly. We see it constantly in this market: a fence that looks like it is about to fall is almost always a post problem, not a panel problem.

We have been serving Refugio homeowners, ranchers, and property managers since 2016. Our team installs wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental metal fencing, farm and ranch fencing, gates, automatic driveway gates, and pool barriers. We repair posts, panels, gates, and entire fence runs. We are fully insured and bonded, and we are members of the American Fence Association.

How a Fencing Job Works in Refugio

Step one is the free on-site assessment. You call us at (361) 336-2101, describe what you need, and we schedule a time to walk your property. We look at the fence line, the soil, the post condition, any damage, access for our crew and equipment, and any local rules that apply. We talk through your options and give you a straightforward estimate.

Step two is the work itself. Before we dig any post holes, we call 811 for a utility locate, because Texas law requires it and because hitting a water, gas, or electric line is a disaster nobody wants. We set posts in concrete, tamped properly and set deep enough to resist frost heave and clay movement. We install panels plumb and square, whether that is board-on-board cedar, side-by-side vinyl, chain link with proper tension, or ornamental metal. If you have an HOA, we verify the rules and colors ahead of time. If your property is in an area that requires a permit, we help you understand what is needed.

Step three is cleanup and a final walkthrough. We haul away all the old material and debris, leave your property clean, and walk the fence line with you to make sure it is right. You have our phone number if anything comes up.

Pricing for fencing in Refugio depends on the material, the length of the run, the soil and post condition, and what we find when we dig. A new wood privacy fence starts at $29 per linear foot. Vinyl runs $40 per linear foot. Chain link, the most economical option, starts at $17 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental metal start at $45 per linear foot. Farm and ranch fencing, common in this area, starts at $13 per linear foot. Repairs start at $475 for post work, $495 for gate repair, and go up from there depending on damage. A free damage assessment for storm-damaged fences is the place to start if a fence has been flattened or racked. Call us at (361) 336-2101 for a free estimate on your specific property and project.

Why do fence posts heave and lean so much in Refugio?

Refugio sits on expansive clay soil that swells when it absorbs water and shrinks when it dries out. That movement happens year-round, especially in late summer when the ground is wet and then bakes dry. If a post is not set deep enough in concrete or if the concrete is not tamped properly around it, the post will move with the soil. Over one to three years, that movement adds up and the fence leans. The fix is to reset the post deeper and in solid concrete, or to replace it if it is cracked or rotted at the ground line.

What should I do if a storm flattens my fence in Refugio?

Call us right away at (361) 336-2101. We offer a free damage assessment and can document what happened so you have it for your insurance claim. We can tell you whether the fence can be repaired or whether replacement makes more sense. We handle storm damage repair work and can usually get to urgent jobs quickly during and after severe weather. We help you understand the costs and the timeline.

How much does it cost to remove and replace a fence in Refugio?

Fence removal and replacement starts at $2,550, depending on the length, material, and condition of what is coming out. The cost of the new fence depends on whether you choose wood, vinyl, chain link, or ornamental metal. A 100-foot wood privacy fence replacement, for example, would run roughly $2,900 to $3,100 in material and labor. Get a free estimate by calling (361) 336-2101 with the length and material you want.

Does Refugio require a permit for a new fence?

Refugio and Refugio County have specific rules about fence height, setback from the property line, and materials, and some areas require a permit before installation begins. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. Before we dig, we verify the local rules with the Refugio city or county building department, whichever has jurisdiction over your property. If a permit is required, we help you understand what that means and what it costs.

Can I install a pool fence myself in Refugio, or do I need a professional?

Pool barrier rules in Refugio are set by Texas state law and local code. A pool fence must meet specific height, spacing, and gate hardware requirements. We install pool fencing to meet local pool barrier codes, but the final determination of compliance rests with the authority having jurisdiction in your area. A pool barrier is one layer of protection and does not remove the need for adult supervision. Call us at (361) 336-2101 to discuss what a compliant pool fence looks like for your property.

What if my neighbor's tree is hanging over my fence or property line in Refugio?

Property line disputes and overhanging branches are neighbor issues first and legal issues second. We can tell you what we see on the ground, but we cannot determine where a property line is. If you have an existing survey, we can work from that. If you do not, a licensed land surveyor can establish the line officially. Once you know where the line is, you and your neighbor can discuss the branches. If the fence is damaged by a neighbor's tree, we can repair or replace it and help you document it for a claim or settlement.

How often should I stain or restore a wood fence in Refugio?

The Gulf Coast humidity and sun mean a cedar fence in Refugio needs cleaning and re-staining every two to three years to resist rot and fading. We offer fence staining and restoration starting at $995. Regular maintenance extends the life of the fence and keeps it looking good. If you have not stained your fence in five or more years, we can assess the condition and let you know whether restoration is still possible or whether replacement is the better choice.
