Local, not national
Network pros are independent, local businesses. No call centers, sales quotas or national overhead. Just owners who care about their name around town.
A trusted network
We work with established businesses that show proof of insurance and a real track record, and we drop pros who earn complaints. Your neighbors are their next referral.
No BS
Straight answers, honest ranges and no bait-and-switch. If a fence will lean in two years, that's not a deal.

Fence cost estimator
Estimated range
$0 – $0
Estimate only, not a quote. Ranges are rough planning numbers for typical installs and can be very different from real prices. Slope, access, rock, HOA specs, materials and market changes all affect cost. Only an on-site visit from a pro gives a real price.

Why quality wins
The cheapest bid is often the most expensive fence.
- 🔩 Posts are the fence. Depth, concrete and spacing decide whether it stands straight after a few summers.
- 🌞 Texas sun is brutal. Good fasteners, a quality finish and the right lumber matter more than shaving a few dollars a foot.
- 🪨 Caliche and limestone are real. Pros who know north SA ground plan for rock instead of cutting corners when they hit it.
- 🤝 Local owners stand behind it. When something needs fixing, you're dealing with a neighbor, not a national call center.

Questions, answered
Is 1604 Fence a fence company?
No. We are a local referral network. We connect north San Antonio homeowners with independent, locally owned fence contractors. The contractor you hire is the one who quotes, contracts and does the work.
Is it free for homeowners?
Yes. Requesting quotes is free and you have no obligation to hire anyone. Contractors in our network pay us to receive project requests.
How many contractors will contact me?
Your request goes to network pros who serve your ZIP code and handle your type of project, so you may hear from more than one. That lets you compare quotes. If you would rather hear from fewer, say so in the notes.
Why not just pick the cheapest bid?
Because price doesn't trump quality. A fence that's set shallow in caliche or built with cheap fasteners can lean, sag or fail long before it should. Compare scope, materials, post depth, warranty and reviews, not just the total.
Why local, non-national companies?
Independent local owners usually live here, rely on referrals from neighbors and don't have national overhead or sales quotas. That leaves more room to focus on doing the job right.
How do you choose contractors?
We ask network contractors to show that they are an established business, carry insurance and have a track record with real customers. We drop contractors who get repeated complaints. You should still check any contractor yourself before you sign. Our vetting guide shows you how.
Do you sell my information?
Never outside our network. Your request is shared only with trusted network contractors who serve your area so they can contact you about your project. See our Privacy Policy.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
Often, yes, depending on your city and HOA. Requirements differ between San Antonio, the small cities like Shavano Park, Hollywood Park and Helotes, and unincorporated areas. Check with your HOA and your city before work starts. A good contractor will help.
What areas do you serve?
North San Antonio along the 281/1604 corridor: Stone Oak, Bulverde, Timberwood Park, Encino Park, Shavano Park, Hollywood Park, Hill Country Village, Rogers Ranch, Helotes and nearby ZIPs like 78258, 78259, 78260, 78261, 78232 and 78248.
Are the cost estimator numbers real quotes?
No. They are rough planning ranges to help you budget. Real prices depend on your site, materials and the contractor, and you only get one from an on-site estimate.
