Fortress Fence Company

Fortress Fence Company handles fencing projects in San Marcos, Texas. Mark runs the company and takes charge of installations that include field fencing, bull panel fencing, residential fencing, and various gates. The work covers new fence builds on properties as well as fixes to existing setups like double door gates. Mark often meets customers to take measurements and discuss details before crews begin.

Customers have described requests for secure enclosures on new land to contain large dogs, including one escape artist. Other jobs involved bull panel fencing finished during hot summer conditions, roughly 500 feet of four-foot field fence that included two walk-through gates and one car gate, plus a residential fence in the local area. Mark and Gordon completed these projects, and reviewers noted functional results after comparing bids from several other outfits. One customer sought a repair on a sagging double door gate that had been installed years earlier.

Reviewers mention that Mark responded to initial contacts, scheduled weekend visits for site details, kept people informed with updates, and finished work on a quick timeline. Pricing came across as fair and transparent in multiple cases, with crews described as courteous during the process. Service reached nearby spots such as Canyon Lake, Texas, and the team handled both new builds and repairs.

The company holds a 4.5 rating from 8 reviews. Recurring topics center on Mark and the crew delivering solid results at reasonable cost with steady communication, though one review described a gate repair that sagged again shortly after and led to further work by another provider.

“We are so happy with our new fence! We bought a new property and we're anxious to get a safe area (we have two large pups and one us an escape artist) for our dogs. Mark & Gordon did amazing work and we look forward to working with them on more projects in the future.”

“Mark and his team did a fantastic job with my bull panel fence. They were able to complete the job quickly (in the dead of summer) and gave me a good, fair price for the work. They also were super nice and transparent. I’ll definitely use Fortress again if I have more fencing needs.”

“I have never had a fence built before. What I needed was approximately 500 ft of field fence, 4ft high, with two walk-through gates and 1 car gate. So, I sought out 6(!) bids before making any decisions. Two out of the 6 companies I contacted gave me a rough estimate without visiting the property (and only one of those emailed a copy of their estimate.) Of the 4 that visited my home, 1 acted as if they had better things to do (and not surprisingly, that company's estimate was 100% more--seriously, no joke--than what I ended up paying) and another gave me references that were not positive (why would you do that? lol.) The other 2 were pleasant, but one stood out to me, and that was Mark at Fortress Fence Company. He was the only fence company owner that visited my property, and when he spoke he did so with a realism/honesty that I quickly appreciated. His bid and references were equal to only one other company. Mark finally won out because that other company stopped responding to emails/voice mails. The project was done quickly and sooner than expected. Any surprise issues during the project were handled professionally and fairly. Mark personally participated in the project, helping”

“Fortress fence was fantastic to work with very courteous and professional. Mark and his crew work extremely hard to satisfy our needs. The world needs more professionals like Fortress fence company. Thanks again Mark and crew job well done.... Robert and Robin Philipps Canyon Lake, Texas”

“I needed a residential fence in the San Marcos area and contacted the top 3 with the best ratings. The first and only business to respond was Fortress Fence Company. The owner, Mark, met with me during the weekend to obtain measurements and discuss the job. Ultimately, the fence was quickly and professionally installed. I can't be happier with the fence or the service provided by this company.”

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mark and Fortress Fence. Mark is professional, responsive, and provided a very reasonable quote. During the process, he always kept us updated on the progress, and we couldn't be happier with the final product! Highly recommended.”

“Fortress Fence initially installed a double door fence gate 5 years ago for us. The gate doors sagged in on each other and eventually became impossible to open so we called them to repair it for us. To my surprise they charged my mother an excessive $800 for this repair. Less than 2 months later the newly “repaired” gate doors began to sag and rub against each other once again. We contacted the owner Mark and he strung us along for a few weeks with a text here and there saying he will come and check it out before he eventually stopped responding altogether. We had to get someone else to repair it. Save your money and go somewhere else. You can’t just ghost someone over nearly a thousand dollars.”
