Referral website, not the contractor. How it works

A fence company in Wolfforth builds and repairs the same fences as in Lubbock: cedar privacy, iron, chain link and pipe. To ask for a price, send a request with the form, and choose Wolfforth as your town.

Lubbock Fence Install is a referral website, not a fence company. We send your request to one independent local fence company. You never pay us; companies we refer you to may pay us for referrals. The company will tell you whether it covers your address.

Wolfforth at a glance

Location. The Texas State Historical Association places Wolfforth on US 62/82, Farm Road 179 and the Santa Fe Railroad, 11 miles southwest of Lubbock.
Ranch roots. It was established in 1916, grew up near the Spade Ranch and benefited when that ranchland was sold for farming in the 1920s and 1930s (TSHA).
Growth. TSHA's population counts show 2,554 people in 2000, 3,670 in 2010 and 5,521 in 2020, more than doubling in twenty years.

If your home went up during that growth, your fence may still be the one the builder installed, and lots at the edge of town may back onto open farmland.

Wind and hail: the June 2025 storm

The supercell that crossed the Lubbock area on June 5, 2025 hit Wolfforth directly. Texas Tech's National Wind Institute reported hail as large as 2.5 inches in Wolfforth. It also reported that the West Texas Mesonet station at Wolfforth was one of six stations to record severe gusts over 58 mph. Hail like that splits cedar pickets and dents metal caps, and wind like that finds every weak post.

What to look at after a storm:

Posts leaning at the ground line, especially at corners and gates
Pickets split or knocked loose
Rails pulled away from steel post brackets
Gates that drag or no longer latch

For damage like this, see fence repair. HomeAdvisor puts most fence repairs at $304 to $948 nationally (checked October 2026).

Fences that fit Wolfforth lots

Backyard privacy. A Lubbock fence company's FAQ, hosted on KCBD's website, calls 6 feet the most common fence height in West Texas, and HomeAdvisor says most homeowners nationally choose wood or vinyl. On a lot that backs up to open fields, wind hits that fence with nothing to slow it down. Ask for steel posts and the post depth in writing. HomeAdvisor's national range for a 6-foot privacy fence is about $25 to $50 per foot installed. See wood and cedar fences.

Front yards and pools. Ornamental steel or aluminum keeps a front yard open and handles wind well. HomeGuide puts installed iron-look fence at about $50 to $85 per foot. See wrought iron fences.

Larger lots. On acreage at the edge of town, pipe and cable fence is an option for horses and road frontage.

HOA and city rules in Wolfforth

If your subdivision has an HOA, know that Texas Property Code §202.023 bars most property owners' associations from banning a perimeter fence. They can still regulate the type of fence, so get written approval for the style, height and material before you order.

For permits, Wolfforth's permitting guidelines say a permit is needed before construction, alteration, repair or expansion of a structure. The same page lists right-of-way among its specific requirements. The city takes permit applications online only, and inspections are scheduled online or by calling 806-855-4124. The Building Permit Department is in City Hall at 302 Main St, (806) 855-4134. Ask whether your fence needs a permit and what height and setback limits apply to your lot.

Planning and pricing

Before you ask for a price, measure the run in feet, count gates and note the height you want. Say whether an old builder fence has to come out first. The Lubbock fence cost guide shows national totals for 100 to 500 feet of each fence type, and the Lubbock-area home page covers digging conditions and the questions to ask any fence company.

Common questions

Does Wolfforth require a permit for a fence?

Ask the city. Wolfforth's permitting guidelines say a permit is required before construction, alteration, repair or expansion of a structure, but the page doesn't list fence-specific rules. Call the Building Permit Department at City Hall, (806) 855-4134. Applications are taken online only.

My builder's fence is only a few years old. Why is it leaning already?

If it was built on wood or thin-wall posts, that may be why. Wind pushes on a solid privacy fence every day, and one weak post lets a whole section lean. Ask the company to check post type and footing before you decide between a repair and a rebuild.

Can I get a fence checked after a hailstorm?

Yes. Mention the storm date in your request. Split pickets, dented caps and loosened rails are easy to miss from the patio. Photos and a written estimate help if you file an insurance claim.
