Austin Brothers Fence Company

Just wanted to thank the individuals (Spencer, John, and crew) who worked on my fence/​sliding gate/​swing gate. You all did a great job and is very much appreciated.

Couldn’t be happier with our experience and fence! I had several companies come out to give us bids and ultimately chose ABF. Nate came out for the quote and asked us a bunch of questions and provided several options, clearly defining how much things would cost based on options chosen. Communication with the entire team was strong from the get-​go and they made the process easy.
They are really busy, so there was a wait time, but we didn’t mind. John & Junior managed everything for our installation and the guys were timely, kept the backyard clean and John checked in with us for the 3 days that they were working on things to ensure it was meeting our expectations. Their customer service & communication are top notch as is their craftsmanship.
We opted for the steel post upgrades and am very happy we did so! Attaching pics for reference.

We just finished having our (very) old fence fully replaced by Austin Brothers Fence and couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From the initial walkthrough, to the invoicing (which was itemized to help split costs with the neighbors), through to finally hanging our new gate the team was nothing but professional. The site was kept clean, the guys worked hard and did an amazing job.
Gone is the cheap-​ass contractor fence that went up when the house was built and in its place is a gorgeous, sturdy, extremely well-​built fence that brings a whole new life to our yard.

Austin Brothers Fence were incredibly professional and helpful while providing me with an estimate. The pricing was very competitive and they clearly outline your options and upgrades.
Unfortunately they are too popular and had a two month wait time for installation. My old fence fell down in a storm and I needed it replaced immediately so I had to use another company. I will definitely call these guys next time. They seem like an excellent choice if you are not in a rush.

Easy to work with and fence turned out better than we hoped for. Scott and Jeff were great, easy to get a hold of and on top of things.
Showed up on-​time and fence was completed in 2 days.
They have a lot of projects so the wait can be weeks (6 – 8 at time of review) but wouldn’t be surprised as their reputation grows. Well worth the wait to have something that will look nice and last.

We had a great experience with Austin Brothers Fence! Everyone we dealt with from the initial consultation (Nate was 5 minutes early. Thank you for respecting that our time is important!) to the final walk through were heavily customer service focused, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to deal with.
The quote we received was not only itemized by option, but by side so we could talk to our neighbors about sharing expenses.
Yes, it took a while to get on their very busy schedule. But they kept us informed of our place in line every step of the way. They even shared out a google doc showing us what projects were ahead of us so we were always aware of what was going on.
The finished product exceeded our expectations. Jeff made sure EVERY gap between the ground and the fence was filled, and even found a creative solution for our very uneven landscape so our small dog couldn’t squeeze through the gate.
Highly recommended.

We hired Austin Fence Brothers to install two gates on our backyard fence. Their quote price was fair and the work is top notch. We worked with Jeff specifically and he was very communicative during the process so we alway knew where the project stood. We are really happy with the final product that they provided. Thanks Austin Fence Brothers!

Fantastic, personalized service AND the best price in town. Jeff took really good care of me and my fence. Super trustworthy and honest guy — as a new homeowner, it’s hard to find people you can trust to do the best work for a great value. Not to mention the fantastic estimate and pay system. Super convenient, I didn’t even have to be home! Thanks again Jeff!

I these guys aren’t the lowest bidders but the work is top-​notch. They put in a new fence and were very accommodating about the changes my wife asked for. The gates they built are really solid — I don’t think they will ever sag. Probably the worst part though was waiting for them to get through their backlog. It was an 8 week wait on their schedule due to their popularity!

I highly recommend Jeff and Austin Brothers Fence. They did an outstanding job from the initial estimate through fence completion. Despite delays caused by all the rainfall we had, they kept me informed of the date of installation. The guys who installed the fence were great, professional and did a super job. My neighbors are envious of our new fence.

We couldn’t be more pleased from our experience with Austin Brothers Fence! From first contact to the last nail put in the fence ABF was friendly, courtiuos, professional, and engaged in the project.
Nate came out and talked with us about what we wanted to have done. Over the next several weeks we started to change our minds on design. Nate was patient and accommodating and very patient with us. He said he wanted to make sure we the exact fence we wanted!
When we had a concern about how something looked they took the time to listen and came up with solutions that worked! Jeff even came out early in the morning before we went to work at our request, to speak with us about a tree that was in the way. We thought we had a good idea on how to work around the tree but Jeff came up with a better one. His experience is exceptional!
This is a wonderful family owned locally grown Austin business that I will use again and again when the need arises. You will be in good hand when you choose ABF!!!

Until Unilocal starts allowing us to rate a product or service with six stars, I must grudgingly only give these guys five. They are a remarkable company with an artisan ethos and unmatched customer service. The owners are the sales force are the designers are the project managers are the complaint department so they extend a personal touch to every phase of the fencing process.
Based on spotless Unilocal reviews, we tracked them down and asked if they could replace our decrepit fence before our daughter’s HS graduation party and they battled some of the heaviest rains in recent Austin history to make it happen.
Their estimate was both realistic and accurate, their communications (by phone, email and text) left nothing to chance or the imagination and their work was stellar. They phased this multi-​day project to limit the impact on our next door neighbor’s chickens, were courteous in every interaction and beat their own aggressive deadline with style. We can’t say enough good things about these guys, but we’ll certainly do our best in the days to come.
If you need a fence, call them quickly — guys this good are in high demand and that demand will only climb higher as their reputation spreads.

These guys built us exactly the fence we wanted at a very fair price. I really appreciated how easy it was to set up an appointment for an estimate online (vs other companies where you might leave a voicemail and not hear back for a week, followed by prolonged phone tag)… Once it came time for construction, their crew was extremely professional and efficient — very skilled builders and friendly as well. I can be particular about little details and the on-​site crew was very open to discussing various options and making adjustments in the field. We couldn’t be happier with our fence, and we very much enjoyed working with Nate and Jeff — would definitely recommend these guys to friends… In fact we already have.

Amazing job on my new fence– thanks guys! Great price, fast work, and a beautiful new fence. Definitely use them!

Absolutely amazed at the quality and speed with which Austin Brothers Fence completed the replacement of our aging 60′ backyard fence. They arrived yesterday at 9:00AM and finished at 3:00PM. It was a friendly and professional crew that did the work. The communication throughout the process was excellent. Quality work and quality materials. I couldn’t be happier.

Terrific job on our front fence, exceeded our expectations. They were very helpful and communicative on a tricky project, always asking questions at the right time and coming up with helpful solutions themselves. The best review though is that we’re planning to use them for our next (bigger) fence job. Many thanks Nate and Jeff!

I called Austin Brothers to bid out a pretty substantial fence job since I wanted to replace an extremely large and unwieldy line of primrose jasmine bushes on the side of my house with a new fence. That along with the fact that the fence on the other side of my backyard was falling into my neighbor’s yard. Nate, Jeff, and the team made the entire process easy and painless even with a couple curve balls thrown their way mostly from last minute change requests to the plans.
Nate handled making the initial bid estimate — and any subsequent estimate revisions as the job grew in scope. The estimates were very well detailed and any optional and recommended upgrades were separated out. Both he and Jeff were very responsive throughout the process when me or my neighbor had any questions.
Jeff and Junior handled the fence installation which took several days from start to finish. Initially, the section between us and our neighbor was planned to be pressure treated pine instead of the cedar that was being used for the rest of my fence because my neighbor preferred spending the money on having taller pickets. But after seeing the difference in look and quality between the cedar and the pine, we got Austin Brothers to take back the pine in favor of cedar. A large section of the fence required 10′ pickets given the elevation difference between my neighbor’s property and ours so the wood had to be specially sourced. But Jeff and his team rolled with the changes and completed the job without much of a delay.
I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it all turned out. The fence is gorgeous and looks a million times better than before. It also feels like we’ve almost doubled the size of our backyard since the large section of side yard is now fully enclosed and is a great play area for our little ones. Austin Brothers is an easy 5-​stars all the way.

These guys are THE BEST. I got three bids for our horizontal wood fence. One bid was astronomical and Austin Brothers was a bit more than the other company. I went with Austin Brothers because of their knowledge, quality of materials, and the professionalism demonstrated by Nate throughout the process. I by nature ask LOTS of picky questions and Nate was always right there with quick and comprehensive answers– he consistently responded within 1 business day and even got back to me while he was on his honeymoon!
We selected our fence from some pictures we saw online and Nate was able to design the fence exactly according to the picture. I was able to be home during the construction and watched Jeff and his team from start to finish. I was very impressed by their work ethic and they kept me in the loop throughout and of course were always willing to answer my questions.
Do not hesitate to work with Austin Brothers on your fence– you won’t regret it!

The tl;dr version:
Nate and Jeff of Austin Brothers are the BEST fence builders in Austin — hands down! Here’s why:
— excellent communication
— comparable prices
— quality materials
— deeper holes (it makes a world of difference!)
— attention to detail x100
— the hardest working fence builders you’ll ever find
— do you really need another reason? (ok, see photo below)
Trust me, give them a call.
Now The Whole Story:
We had put up with our worn out (likely 30 year old) builder’s fence ever since we’d moved into our home. However, the day out mini pin escaped his «secure confines» was our wake up call! We desperately needed a REAL fence!
Enter Nate and Jeff of Austin Brothers. I showed them our sad fence over email and told them what I was looking for. Nate responded back with several options and showed me what the cost for each would be. I loved that! None of the other quotes I had received had listed everything so plainly. Now I was confident that I wanted to work with these guys! I decided to upgrade our fence to a Board on Board style to block out the noise and motion of a busy walking trail. I also opted for steel posts for extra durability. There was no way our dogs would ever escape our yard again — bwah ha ha!
Construction went smoothly. Jeff and his team also worked around another crew that I had hired to remove some trees from the fence line. After a week, they were done and I had the most beautiful, solid-​as-​a-​rock, escape-​proof fence I had ever seen! When Jeff took me around for the final inspection, I was able to appreciate all of the little details they had built in. They had specially placed the gate hinges so the trim would remain flush without ugly cut-​outs. They had alternated light and dark pickets to enhance our Board on Board design. Jeff had even gone back through to make sure no nails were sticking out or debris was left behind. Do you know another fence company in Austin that does that? Are you kidding me? I’ve looked — there’s none.
If you’re looking to get your fence replaced, by all means — call around and get those quotes. Then call Nate and Jeff, the Austin Brothers for a REAL fence! I’m so glad I did.

I think fence years are like dog years, only more so. The equivalent is around 1 human year = 10 fence years, near as I can tell. Our house was built in 2005, so the original fence is in it’s 90s using the fore mentioned equation, and it hasn’t grown old gracefully. Gaps, sagging, leaning, and a general flaccidity that no amount of wood Viagra would help. Also, a section blew out during a windstorm allowing the dogs to go and explore a muddy pond, in sub freezing temperatures.
Time to go, you old f**k.
I called Austin Brothers on the recommendation of my landscaper, who has worked with them extensively. Nate came over that afternoon and gave us an estimate by that evening. The crew showed up a couple of days later, graciously herded the old fence into it’s grave with a beating reminiscent of a Clockwork Orange, and began erecting the new one. 6″ pickets, galvanized steel posts, and post holes so deep the drought can bite me. Strong enough to resist winds, rain, hails, and probably zombies (although they may void the warranty).
All in all an outstanding job. Thank you, gentlemen.
