Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of fencing work best in Lubbock's climate?

    Cedar and galvanized materials perform exceptionally well in West Texas conditions. Cedar naturally resists moisture damage, while galvanized chainlink and metal fencing withstand high winds and temperature fluctuations common in the Lubbock area.
  • How long does fence installation take?

    Most residential fence installations complete within 2-4 days, depending on project size and soil conditions. Agricultural fencing projects vary based on acreage, but we coordinate timing around your farming schedule for minimal disruption.
  • Do you install electric fencing for livestock?

    Yes, we specialize in electric fencing systems for horses, cattle, goats, and sheep. Our installations include proper grounding techniques and controller placement designed specifically for Texas ranch conditions and livestock management needs.
  • What's the difference between hogwire and barbwire fencing?

    Hogwire features welded wire mesh that prevents smaller animals from escaping while allowing visibility. Barbwire provides perimeter security through sharp barbs spaced along high-tensile wire, making it ideal for cattle containment on larger properties.
  • Can you repair existing fences damaged by storms?

    Absolutely. We handle storm damage repairs including post replacement, panel reconstruction, and gate adjustments. Our team assesses structural integrity and recommends whether repair or replacement provides better long-term value for your property.
  • How deep do fence posts need to be?

    In Texas soil, posts typically require 2-3 feet depth depending on fence height and wind exposure. We use concrete setting for stability and adjust depth based on your property's soil composition and local building requirements.
  • What factors affect fencing costs?

    Material choice, fence height, terrain difficulty, and total linear footage impact pricing most significantly. Premium materials like cedar cost more upfront but offer longer lifespan, while chainlink provides economical security for larger areas.
  • Do you build custom gates and entryways?

    Yes, we create custom gates, decorative entryways, and pillars to match your fencing style. Options include single or double gates, automated systems, and specialized agricultural gates designed for equipment access and livestock management.
  • Is chainlink fencing suitable for residential properties?

    Chainlink offers excellent security and durability for residential use, especially with privacy slats or landscaping. It's particularly popular for pet containment and pool areas due to its strength and lower maintenance requirements compared to wood.
  • When should I replace vs repair my fence?

    Replace when posts show significant rot, metal shows extensive rust, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value. Minor damage like loose boards or small sections typically merit repair, extending your fence's useful life economically.
  • Do you handle large-acreage and livestock fencing projects across the Lubbock and South Plains area?

    Yes, Best Value Fence installs rural and agricultural fencing — including barbed wire, corral fencing, and farm perimeter lines — for acreage properties across Lubbock, Levelland, Plainview, Tahoka, and surrounding West Texas communities. Materials and post-setting practices are matched to South Plains soil conditions and high-wind exposure so your fence holds up long-term.
  • What types of fencing do you install for livestock containment and field perimeters on rural properties?

    For livestock and field fencing, Best Value Fence installs barbed wire, corral panels, and farm perimeter fencing suited to rural West Texas properties. Each option is selected based on the animals being contained, acreage size, and the wind and soil conditions common across the South Plains.
  • Do you serve rural and agricultural properties outside Lubbock city limits, including surrounding South Plains communities?

    Yes, service extends beyond Lubbock city limits to rural and agricultural properties throughout the South Plains region, including areas like Levelland, Plainview, and Tahoka. Whether the job is a small corral or a multi-acre perimeter fence, the same materials and installation standards apply regardless of location.
