When repair no longer makes sense, full replacement is often the smarter, cheaper long-term move. We make it simple.
Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within 1 business day. We will ask a few quick questions about your yard - what you need, roughly how many linear feet, and whether you have any gates in mind. No obligation, no pressure.
We come out to your yard, measure the fence line, check the terrain and soil conditions, and note any obstacles or gate locations. You get a written, itemized quote - not a rough guess over the phone. If a permit is required, we handle that paperwork before any work begins.
Our crew arrives on the scheduled day, sets posts to the correct depth for Ennis's clay soil, and completes the job cleanly. Before we leave, we walk the finished fence with you - checking gates, spacing, and alignment - so everything is exactly what you agreed to.
We carry general liability and workers compensation coverage on every project. Ask for our certificates before we start - a legitimate contractor will always provide them.
Every quote starts with a free visit to your yard. We measure in person because phone estimates for fencing in Ennis clay soil are rarely accurate. No hidden fees, no surprises.
We are not a national franchise. We are a local company that has worked in Ennis since 2020 and knows how Ellis County clay soil and permit requirements affect every fence we build.
If something goes wrong with our workmanship after installation - a leaning post, a gate that will not latch - we come back and make it right. That is our commitment on every job.

"They showed up when they said they would and had our wood privacy fence finished in a day and a half. The posts are solid - we had another contractor do the back section years ago and those posts are already leaning. These are not going anywhere."
Marcus R., Ennis - Wood fence installation
"We needed a vinyl fence before our new dog came home. They walked the yard, pulled the permit, and had it done before the week was out. The gate latch is smooth and the fence looks exactly like what they showed us in the estimate."
Stephanie V., Waxahachie - Vinyl fence installation
"Our old chain link fence took a hit during a bad storm and was bent in two places. They came out, gave us a fair quote for repair versus replacement, and we chose replacement. Solid work and no surprises on the bill."
Dale M., Midlothian - Chain link fence installation

Yes - most new fences in Ennis require a city building permit before work begins. Skipping this step can mean fines or being required to remove the fence. A reputable contractor pulls the permit for you.
Blackland Prairie clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement is the most common reason fence posts tilt in this area - and it is entirely preventable with proper post depth and concrete anchoring.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension->If more than a quarter of your boards are damaged or multiple posts are leaning, replacement usually costs less over time. Isolated board damage or a single leaning post is almost always worth repairing.
Vinyl and aluminum handle the heat without warping, cracking, or rusting. Cedar wood performs well if sealed regularly. Pine breaks down faster in this climate and needs more maintenance to hold up through Ennis summers.
Ellis County sits in an active storm corridor. Chain link and aluminum fare better in high winds because air passes through or around them. Solid privacy fences need deep posts and solid rails to survive straight-line winds.
National Weather Service - Fort Worth->Many newer Ennis subdivisions have active HOAs with specific rules about fence height, material, and color. Check your CC&Rs before signing any contract - installing the wrong style can mean removing it at your own expense.

If posts are solid and the damage is limited to a few boards, repair is usually the right call. Once posts start leaning or more than a quarter of boards are damaged, full replacement is almost always the more cost-effective path.
An unpermitted fence can come up during a home sale inspection and delay or derail your closing. Some lenders flag it. The city can also require removal if the issue is reported. Permits protect your investment - a good contractor handles this for you.
Ask specifically how deep they set posts and how much concrete they use per post. A contractor who has worked in Blackland Prairie clay will answer that question immediately and in detail. A vague answer is a red flag.

Ennis is a city of about 21,000 people in Ellis County, roughly 35 miles south of Dallas along US Highway 287. It is best known as the Bluebonnet Capital of Texas, drawing thousands of visitors every April for the Bluebonnet Trails festival. The city also hosts the National Polka Festival each Memorial Day weekend, reflecting the Czech heritage that has shaped the community for generations. The historic downtown district and the old train depot are visible reminders of that history.
The land around Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay - some of the most expansive soil in Texas. According to Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, this soil swells significantly when wet and shrinks when dry, creating conditions that put real stress on anything built in the ground. That includes fence posts, which is why post depth and concrete anchoring matter more in this part of Texas than almost anywhere else. We have been setting fence posts in this soil since 2020 and know exactly how to anchor them so they stay put through the wet springs and dry summers Ellis County delivers.
Most of our work is for homeowners in Ennis's established neighborhoods - the older brick ranch homes near downtown, the mid-century houses on modest lots, and the newer subdivisions growing out toward the edges of town. We also serve commercial clients and rural property owners across the surrounding communities. Whether your yard backs up to another lot or you are managing a few acres outside the city, Custom Ennis Fence knows this area and builds fences that hold up in it.
