Our Story

Buda Fence Company was founded in 2015 by William Espich, a Buda native who got tired of watching homeowners overpay for fences built with cheap materials and zero follow-through. What started as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted team serving all of Central Texas.

Over the years, we've completed more than 5,000 fence installations and built our reputation on one thing: doing it right the first time. We only use Western Red Cedar pickets — not pressure-treated pine. We set our posts in galvanized steel PostMaster sleeves, not bare wood that rots in Buda's clay soil. We finish with Ready Seal when staining. Every detail matters.

We're based in Buda, TX and proudly serve homeowners across Buda, Austin, Kyle, and Dripping Springs. Whether you need a new cedar privacy fence, a clean metal fence, or reliable fence repairs, you'll get straight answers and zero runaround.

Why Our Fences Outlast the Competition

Any contractor can nail boards to posts. Here's what separates a Buda Fence Company installation from everyone else.

Standard

Western Red Cedar Only

We never use pressure-treated pine. Western Red Cedar is naturally rot-resistant, insect-resistant, and holds stain far better in Central Texas heat.

Recommended

PostMaster Steel Posts

Galvanized steel sleeve posts set in concrete. Buda's clay soil wicks moisture and destroys wood posts in 3–5 years. Steel posts last decades.

Recommended

Ready Seal Staining

Oil-based, deep-penetrating stain that protects against UV and won't lap-mark in Texas heat. Extends fence life by years when applied every 2–3 seasons.

Recommended

Welded Metal Gate Frames

We recommend welded metal frames for all gates — they hold alignment far better than wood-framed gates, which sag and rack within a year. Available as an upgrade on any project.

No verbal promises, no vague scopes. You'll get a written estimate with exact materials, linear footage, gate count, and total cost — before any work begins.

What to Expect When You Hire Us

No mystery. No chasing contractors who don't call back. Here's exactly how a Buda Fence Company project works.

Step 1

Same-Day Estimate

Call or fill out our form. We'll walk your property, measure the line, and hand you a written quote — usually the same day. No charge, no pressure.

Step 2

One-Day Installation

Most residential projects are done in a single day. We show up on time, we build it right, and we clean up everything before we leave — including hauling away your old fence.

Step 3

Final Walkthrough With You

Before we pack up, we walk every foot of the fence with you. Gates swing right, posts are plumb, boards are flush. If anything's not right, we fix it on the spot.

Our Values

We're a small company. We don't have a marketing department. Our reputation is built one fence at a time — which means every single one matters.

Quality First

Western Red Cedar. Steel posts. Welded gate frames. No cheaper substitutes — ever. The materials are what make a fence last 15–20 years instead of 5–7.

We Show Up

We show up when we say we will. We finish when we say we will. Your time matters, and ghosting customers after the deposit isn't how we operate.

We're Your Neighbors

William lives in Buda. His kids go to school here. We shop at the same stores. When we build your fence, we're building it for a neighbor — and that changes how we work.

Meet the Owner

William Espich

Founder & Owner

William has over 15 years in the fencing industry. He founded Buda Fence Company in 2015 with one goal: build fences the right way, with the right materials, for the neighbors he lives with. He's personally involved in every project — not signing off from an office, but on the job site.

As a Buda resident and family man, William builds fences with the same standards he'd want for his own yard. If you're looking for a new cedar privacy fence, a metal fence around your pool, or need post replacements after a storm, you'll get straight answers and honest pricing.

When he's not building fences, William hunts, spends time with his family, and is an active member of the Buda community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions from homeowners across Buda, Austin, Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, and surrounding Central Texas.

What types of fences does Buda Fence Company install?

We install wood privacy fences, cedar fences (vertical board-on-board and horizontal), ornamental iron fences, metal fences, chain link fences, ranch fences, split rail cedar fences, and agricultural fencing. We serve residential homeowners, commercial property owners, and agricultural landowners across all of Central Texas.

Do you install wood privacy fences and cedar fences?

Yes — cedar privacy fence installation is our most popular service. We use Western Red Cedar only (no pressure-treated pine) in both traditional vertical board-on-board and modern horizontal styles. We match your height requirements and HOA specs. Call (512) 710-7116 for a free estimate.

Do you install ornamental iron and metal fences?

Yes. We specialize in ornamental iron and metal fence installation for residential and commercial clients across Central Texas — from decorative front-yard iron fences to heavy-duty commercial perimeter fencing.

Do you install chain link fences?

Yes. We install chain link fences for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Available in galvanized and vinyl-coated black, multiple heights and gauges. We also repair existing chain link.

Do you install horizontal cedar fences?

Yes. Horizontal board cedar is one of our most-requested styles and adds a modern, contemporary look to any property. Visit our gallery to see completed projects. Important: horizontal fences require proper steel post installation — wood posts will cause sagging over time.

Do you install gates?

Yes. We install custom gates — walk gates, driveway gates, and manual double-drive gates in wood, iron, metal, and chain link. We recommend welded metal frames for maximum durability. Call (512) 710-7116 or see our pricing guide for current gate pricing.

Do you handle fence repairs?

Yes. Fence repair is a core service. We repair storm-damaged fences, leaning posts, broken boards, sagging gates, and damaged chain link — with volume discounts for multiple post replacements. We'll always recommend the most cost-effective approach for your situation.

How much does fence installation cost in Austin, TX?

Fence costs vary based on material, linear footage, terrain, number of gates, and site conditions. Every property is different, which is why we offer free estimates. See our 2026 Austin fence pricing guide for detailed local numbers, or call (512) 710-7116 for a free on-site estimate.

Are you licensed and insured?

Texas does not require a state license for fence contractors. We carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance and back every fence installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty. You're protected — from the first post to the last board.

What does your 5-year workmanship warranty cover?

Our 5-year workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues under normal use. If something isn't right due to our workmanship, we'll come back and make it right at no charge.

How long does a typical fence install take?

Most standard residential fence projects are completed in one day. We set posts, build the fence, install gates, clean up, and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave. Large projects or unusual terrain may require two days — we'll tell you upfront.
