FenceTex LLC

FenceTex LLC handles fencing jobs from their base in Buda, Texas. Austin runs the outfit and they take on residential properties along with commercial sites such as schools, churches, businesses, and new construction projects across the Austin area and Central Texas. They install wood privacy fences, composite styles, iron fences, game fencing on larger acreage, and gates of various types including double swing and privacy models. The crew also reinforces existing fences with galvanized metal posts and handles add-ons like walkways or pool equipment covers.

Homeowners describe jobs that include full backyard privacy fences with clean lines and solid steel posts, front fences with outward opening gates, and repairs after wind storms that left gates off track or pipes broken. One project replaced an entire fence while keeping some sound poles to cut costs. Another enclosed five acres with eight-foot game fence to stop deer. Crews built a mockup section for approval on a custom horizontal composite job and added rot boards with trim plus steel-framed gates on a six-foot vertical wood fence. Jim Morales often led crews on site and made sure details matched the plan.

They show up on the days promised, stay until the work is finished, and keep customers updated on start dates and changes. Austin and Jessica handle the office side with clear answers on timing and scope while Jim and the crews like Miguel, Tito, and Adam stay on the job. Bids stay within the agreed budget and they finish faster than expected on several projects. Service covers Central Texas spots including Kyle and they respond quickly to calls for fixes or new installs.

The company carries a five-star Google rating from ninety-eight reviews. Reviewers note the steady communication from Austin and the team, the way crews handle slopes or wind issues without extra cost, and the finished fences that stand straight and look sharp.

“We could not be happier with FenceTex. From the first visit through the final install, Austin and his team were professional, communicative, and genuinely great to work with. We had them build a custom horizontal composite privacy fence in our backyard, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Clean lines, solid steel posts, and a finished look that completely transformed the space. What stood out most was the communication. Jim, our project manager, was on site with the crew throughout the build making sure every detail was right, and they even built a mockup section for us to approve before proceeding. That tells you how much they care about getting it exactly right. They also offer a veterans and military discount, which we really appreciated. It’s clear this is a company that values service and takes care of its community. If you’re looking for a fence company in the Austin area that does high quality work and communicates every step of the way, FenceTex is the one to call. We’ll absolutely use them again.”

“Austin and his crew at FenceTex did an outstanding job at our home. Austin carefully listened to my ideas/plans and executed an amazing plan for our fence, walkway, gate and pool equipment cover. They were on time everyday and stayed till the job was 100% complete. Austin was cognizant of our budget and stayed within that scope. He and his crew were professional, friendly and showed expertise in all areas. We will definitely use FenceTex again for all future fencing needs.”

“If you're in need of fencing installation, FenceTex should definitely be the company to choose. The Crew Chief, JIM MORALES is Definitely A CUT ABOVE & Most certainly RIDES FOR THE BRAND! JIM MORALES not only represented himself in the Highest Regard, but more importantly, represented FenceTex in the most professional, experienced manner achievable. I tip my hat to JIM MORALES for a job WELL DONE! JIM MORALES represents FenceTex in the Highest Honorable manner, which are rare these days. Thanks JIM MORALES & FenceTex for my new beautiful fence. The workmanship is beyond reproach & second to none! With Sincere Respect, Gary Griffin, Kyle, Texas”

“If you’re reading this, then you’re probably a cautious person like myself and thinking how you don’t want to pay too much, but you want great quality (yes they can go together). And let’s be real, nowadays finding professional and reliable companies with exceptional customer service have become a rarity. To just say that this company did a great job and built a great fence at a fair price, would be an understatement and an insult. I’m one that likes to build things with my own two hands, especially if it’s going to save us some money, but these guys constructed a piece of art. Not only will it last longer than our house, it makes the place look really great and should add a good amount of property value when we sell. We felt the the service and communication we received, was worth the price alone to have peace of mind knowing we found a great company to use. Check out the pics for yourself, should change their name to “Art Tex”. We WILL be using them again for the next place!!! #GreatFence #CustomFencing #Buda,Tx”

“FenceTex did a phenomenal job installing my new front fence, which included an outward opening double swing gate for my vehicles and a privacy gate for my enclosed property. They also reinforced an existing side fence, which had partially fallen during recent thunderstorms, by adding galvanized metal posts for higher wind resistance. Austin, the owner of FenceTex, was easy to work with and very responsive to all my questions prior to installation. Jim, who managed the project, was outstanding as he thoroughly explained each step and ensured everything was completed professionally and efficiently. What stood out most was Jim’s follow-up after the project, as I required a few minor adjustments to my vehicle gate to better suit my needs. Jim provided different solutions to help ensure I was fully satisfied. His attention to detail really made a difference. I highly recommend FenceTex and will use them again for any future fencing needs. They were professional, reliable, and worked quickly from start to finish without sacrificing quality, which I am extremely grateful for. Thank you so much, FenceTex. Job well done! 😎”

“Originally Jim (I believe that was his name) was very kind and respectful to my mother (who lives on her own). He had made it easy for her to understand the scope of work needed to replace the entire fence as well as any complications with the poles or other structures. On the day of work, Adam and his team came by and did an amazing job. Quality of work was superb and Adam, similarly, was very respectful and kind. He was even able to lower the initial estimate price after seeing that some of the structure was still in good shape. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to contact FenceTex again for future work.”

“These guys were extremely easy to work with. My daughter recommended them and very pleased as well. The crew, Miguel and Tito took pride in their work and it shows! Jim, the project manager reviewed and went through the details of my project to make sure I was getting what I needed. I would highly recommend this fence company.”

“There are a significant number of reasons for giving FenceTex a perfect 5 score for their work on our land: COMMITMENT. Austin, the owner is “old school” where his word and handshake still means he will do what he says! COMMUNICATION: Austin (and Jess) are excellent at communicating start dates, updates, and walk throughs. I hope for high quality in the work I am paying for. Austin provided quality that exceeded my expectation. CREATIVITY: we were not sure what we wanted in our gate design, so I asked Austin to be creative. Absolutely love the simple and functional design he created and installed! CLOSING: Austin’s final walk through ensures he has delivered what he promises and what the customer wanted. After dealing with contractors in various projects for 2 1/2 years, it is refreshing to have someone like Austin and FenceTex! James T”

“Fence Tex LLC, was very professional, easy to work with and quickly responsive with any questions. They do excellent work and will be recommending them to anyone who needs a repair or a new fence.”

“We had a new iron fence installed on our 5-acre property, and from start to finish, the experience was INCREDIBLE. Everyone in the office was so kind and easy to work with, especially Jessica, who made sure everything stayed on track and communicated clearly every step of the way. Talking with Austin throughout the process was smooth and reassuring, he truly knows his stuff and made sure we felt confident in our decisions. When it came time for install, Miguel and his crew were amazing, super friendly, fast, and so efficient. You could tell they take real pride in their work. The fence looks absolutely beautiful and we’re beyond happy with how it turned out. Highly highly highly recommend this company if you want quality work and genuinely great people to work with!”

“The highest recommendation possible! Austin, Miguel and their team did an amazing job on the fence for myself & my neighbors. Not only did they work with us on a deal that was budget friendly to all, but on the rare instance when we had any type of concern during the build it was immediately addressed. No doubt our beautiful fence will stand the test of time. We couldn’t be more satisfied, and you won’t have any regret with choosing FenceTex. Choose with confidence & choose FenceTex.”

“We were extremely happy with our choice of FenceTex to build our new fence. Our project was on a hill so we needed advice on the type of fence for our area. Jim Morales came out to give us a bid. He was the fourth person to give us a bid and we soon saw how helpful and wise he was about the type of fence we needed. Later we met Austin, the owner, and he inspired a lot of confidence in us that FenceTex was our best option. They gave us a competitive bid, their crew was excellent and they finished the job quickly. We have a beautiful fence that we love. Many thanks to FenceTex.”

“I've the opportunities to deal with several fence companies across a few commercial projects as well as residences. These guys WITHOUT A DOUBT are the class of this industry. Very professional, knowledgeable and reliable, and their costs are extremely fair. More important, their quality of work is exceptional! They showed up when they said they would, put their heads down and got to work. Projects that I thought would take days took them far less, because they actually worked when they were onsite! If you need anything fence-related, these are the guys to call. Couldn't be happier with my experience!”

“We had a great experience with Fencetex from start to finish. It was a genuine pleasure to work with a solid team of professionals the whole way through. We have engaged many contractors and wish they all could perform and deliver like Fencetex. Communication was great, excellent service quality and build quality, did what they said they would do when they said they would do it, and solved all the details. Fencetex is a company that listens to their customer, cares about doing a quality job and the delivers quality. The fence they built is for us is amazing and we love it. We will definitely be hiring them again. Must give a special thanks to Austin Johlke and Jim Morales for a job well done!”

“Austin is wonderful to work with. He provides great insight on the best course of action for our projects. We have hired FenceTex several times and it has always been a great experience. They are quick to problem solve and always keep us updated. Their fences come out beautifully!”

“We had a great experience with this fenceTex company! They came out quickly after a recent wind storm and were able to fix our fence the right away. They added a stopper to keep the gate from falling off track and repaired a broken pipe, which made a huge difference. What really stood out is that they took the time to fix issues that were left behind by a previous fence company. The stopper should have been installed from the beginning with the previous company I hired. FenceTex made sure everything was done correctly. They were professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in their work. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for reliable and honest service!”

“Thank you FenceTex for building an amazing fence for our home!! Austin, Jessica, and the entire crew were professional, kind, and courteous from the first time we met and all the way through the project. They all went above and beyond in all aspects of the project. By the end, they all felt more like family. Great folks, a great experience, and a beautiful fence that we'll enjoy for many years to come!!”

“Had a great experience with Austin and his crew! They did everything the committed to and more. Both custom fencing and gates as well as enclosing 5 acres with 8 ft. game fence. Haven't had a deer destroying our gardens since!”

“Fence Tex has been our go to fencing company. They will help with all aspects of the project including speaking to your HOA if needed. They do great work and quality work. Definitely recommend! Austin will take care of you!”

“Had a 6' Tall Vertical Wood Privacy Fence w/ Rot Board & Trim installed with Postmaster posts. Super experience and fencing. Highly recommended. 2 Gates also installed with steel frames. Very happy!”
