Integrity Builders of Texas | Top-Rated Residential Fencing in San Antonio, TX

The combination of high humidity, summer heat, and sprinkler overspray causes standard metal hinges and latches to start rusting within months. Nearby vegetation, like crossvine or bougainvillea, holds moisture against the metal and accelerates corrosion. At Integrity Builders of Texas, we install galvanized or stainless steel hardware as a standard practice for our fencing and gate projects in San Antonio. We also recommend leaving a small gap between the fence and heavy shrubs to allow airflow, which helps the hardware stay dry and functional.

Yes. Vegetation like honeysuckle or ivy can physically pull fence boards apart and bend gate frames over time. In many cases, we can selectively replace damaged pickets, realign the gate, and install sturdy anti-sag brackets. We also trim back the offending plants and clear a 2- to 3-inch gap between the fence line and the landscaping. If you're building a new fence through an established garden, we can design a sleeve or gravel strip along the base to discourage root and vine encroachment right from the start.

Great question. A new ADU or guest house often creates a shared side yard that needs a new gate or a section of privacy fence to create separate usable spaces. As a general contractor, Integrity Builders of Texas can build the ADU and install the matching fence or gate at the same time. We coordinate the foundation work and utility lines first, then set posts after the grading is finished so that the fence sits level and aligns with the new structure. For Alamo Heights properties, we also match the fence style and color to the home's exterior, keeping everything cohesive.
