Perimeter Fencing & Gates has been installing and repairing fences across Austin and the surrounding hill country since 2011. Licensed, insured, and committed to one standard: done right.
Carlos Mendez started Perimeter in 2011 after years of watching large fencing contractors measure properties in fifteen minutes, then charge homeowners extra when the material didn't fit. He built Perimeter around a different approach: every project gets a proper site survey, a drawn layout, and a fixed price before a single post is ordered.
Thirteen years later, that discipline is the company's reputation. Our clients tell us they chose us because we were the only estimator who walked the full fence line instead of measuring from the driveway. We're not the cheapest quote in Austin — but we're the one that holds.
We service residential backyards and commercial perimeters across the Austin metro. From a 40-foot repair in East Austin to an 800-foot ranch fence in Bastrop County, the standard is the same: survey, draw, quote fixed, build clean.
We take longer to quote because we measure everything. A quote written from the driveway is not a quote — it's a guess.
We call it an estimate because that's what you ask for. But our quotes are fixed. We don't add "unforeseen circumstances" markups after the job starts.
Every installer on our crews has gone through our training program. We don't subcontract jobs to whoever is available next Tuesday.
If your soil has a rock ledge at 18 inches and we can't dig our standard depth, we tell you before the job starts — not on invoice day.
Carlos founded Perimeter in 2011 after 8 years with a large commercial fencing contractor in San Antonio. He built the company around a simple principle: measure twice, never apologize. When he's not on-site, he's reading material science papers about post-frame construction.
Darius runs our commercial division — high-security chain-link, ornamental iron for multi-family, and access control systems. He came up through electrical contracting and brought gate automation expertise that most fencing companies outsource. If it needs a gate operator, Darius handles it.
Rachel manages residential project scheduling and serves as the primary client contact from estimate to final walkthrough. She developed our HOA submission package and has a 97% first-approval rate across 200+ submissions. Background in landscape architecture from UT Austin.
