Dow Pipe & Fence Supply Company

Dow Pipe & Fence Supply Company runs a fence supply store and fence contracting operation out of Pasadena, Texas. They opened in 1964 and keep the doors at 1802 Preston Ave for customers who need pipe, fencing materials, and related items. The business lists solar among its work categories while the main Google categories point to fence supply and fence contracting. Shoppers stop in for stock that covers privacy fences, dumpster screens, and general fencing jobs around the area.

Reviews describe jobs that center on pulling together fencing supplies in one stop. One customer found everything needed for a privacy fence to block a dumpster. Another picked up floor flanges that worked for their setup. Longtime shoppers say the place has carried what they wanted since the 1970s, and a few mention unloading loads without trouble. On the other side, some walked away after staff wrote up an estimate from a notebook drawing without asking about thickness, coating, or fence type. A couple noted the store would not take back unused resaleable items, and one found the same materials cheaper a few minutes down the road after more questions got asked.

Work happens during normal business hours with the owner sometimes letting people in right before closing to finish a purchase. Communication shows up as direct in most accounts, though one review flagged a credit card fee and another suggested wearing a mask inside. Pricing draws mixed notes, with some calling the stock second to none and others saying costs ran higher than nearby suppliers. Service covers the local Pasadena area and focuses on getting fencing parts out the door rather than full installs.

The Google rating sits at 4.4 across the listed feedback. Recurring points include solid stock for fencing projects and helpful moments from the owner, alongside complaints about returns, staff attitude at the desk, and extra fees.

“They don’t take good items “resale able” back! Bosses rule. If you can buy else where where returning from over purchase is welcomed then do so.. the companies not takin returns. Stop buying from them. It’s real simple in life! The customer is the boss”

“The owner was very accommodating. Let me in right before the close of business and took care of my needs. Thank you sir, god bless you, your family, and your business!”

“We've shopped Dow since I was a kid in the 1970s. Glad to see them still in business bc I know when I walk in, I'm going to find/get what I need.”

“As soon as I went inside, the two ladies in the front desk keep talking until one decide to "help me." She grabbed my notebook with my drawing of my fence and started to write in her computer. Not even one question asked, what about "what kind of fence, thickness, coat??? Nothing. She put my notebook at the desk with an estimated. It was like I killed her dog, except I didnt. I went to a fence supplier a few minutes away, and I got the same stuff 3 times cheaper, with a lot more of questions asked of course.”
