Serving Big Spring, TX and surrounding areas. (432) 263-5703
QC Big Spring Fence is a local fence contractor serving Big Spring and Howard County - specializing in wood fence installation, vinyl fencing, and chain link fencing. We have served the Big Spring area since 2015, pulling permits through the city and setting posts deep enough to handle the caliche and the wind out here.
Wood fencing is one of the most popular choices in Big Spring because it handles the region's mix of owner-occupied older homes and newer subdivisions well. Posts set into caliche soil and sealed wood boards are the key to getting real longevity out here. Learn more about our wood fence installation in Big Spring.
Big Spring's intense UV and long hot summers are exactly why vinyl is worth considering - it does not splinter, peel, or need staining the way wood does. UV-stabilized vinyl with reinforced post options handles the wind and sun that come with living on the open West Texas plain.
Chain link is a practical, cost-effective option for Big Spring homeowners who need a secure boundary for pets or kids without the maintenance of wood. Vinyl-coated mesh holds up better to the local sun and dry heat than bare galvanized wire, and posts set deep in concrete keep the fence standing through spring windstorms.
Big Spring lots tend to be open with little natural screening from trees. A solid privacy fence gives homeowners a real backyard - one where kids can play and adults can sit outside without feeling exposed. We build privacy fences with post depths and bracing matched to the local wind loads.
Howard County has active agricultural and ranch land surrounding Big Spring, and working properties here need fencing that can take years of hard use in a dry, high-UV environment. We install barbed wire, net wire, and pipe fencing for ranches and rural properties throughout the county.
Big Spring's winds knock sections loose and the caliche soil shifts posts over time. If your fence is leaning, missing boards, or has a gate that no longer latches, repairs can often restore the structure at a fraction of replacement cost. We assess the full fence line and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better call.
Big Spring sits at roughly 2,400 feet elevation on the open Llano Estacado, where average wind speeds regularly top 15 mph and gusts during spring storms push well above that. There are almost no natural windbreaks - no hills, no tree cover - so fencing here takes a sustained beating that contractors in East Texas or the Hill Country never encounter. A fence installed without the right post depth and corner bracing for these conditions will start leaning or lose sections within a few years.
The soil makes things more complicated. The ground beneath most Big Spring yards is caliche - a rock-hard calcium layer that stops a standard post-hole digger cold - sitting on top of expansive clay and sandy loam that swells when wet and shrinks in dry spells. That constant movement puts lateral stress on fence posts between rains. A large share of the city's housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1970s, meaning many older homes may have original fencing that was never designed for modern load expectations. Hail season in Howard County adds another layer of seasonal damage every spring.
QC Big Spring Fence is based right here in Big Spring - we pull permits through the City of Big Spring Development Services office regularly and know what the permit timeline looks like at different times of year. We work on homes in every part of town - from the older brick neighborhoods near the Big Spring State Hospital to the newer subdivisions going up on the north and west sides.
Locally, our crews work the length of Gregg Street and out along U.S. Highway 87, and we get called to properties near Comanche Trail Park as often as we do to acreage lots out toward the county line. We know which streets have the worst caliche conditions and which neighborhoods have HOA rules about fence height and style. That local experience means fewer surprises for you on installation day.
We also serve the communities surrounding Big Spring. Homeowners in Forsan call us regularly for farm and residential fencing, and we work frequently in Coahoma where soil and wind conditions are nearly identical to Big Spring.
We respond within 1 business day. Tell us the rough footage, your fence style preference, and whether you know your property lines. We will set up a time to come out - no commitment required at this stage.
We walk the fence line, check the ground conditions - including caliche depth - and measure the total footage. You get a written quote within a day or two. Cost is based on what we actually see in your yard, not a phone estimate.
Once you accept the quote, we pull the required permit from the City of Big Spring before any work begins. Permit processing typically takes a few business days. You will be placed on the installation schedule as soon as the permit clears.
Most residential fences are installed in one to two days. Posts are set in concrete and need 24 to 48 hours to cure before bearing weight. Before we leave, we walk the finished fence with you so any corrections happen on the spot.
We serve all of Big Spring and Howard County. Tell us what you need and we will come out, look at your yard, and give you a written price - no pressure, no surprises.
(432) 263-5703Big Spring is the county seat of Howard County, with a population of roughly 27,000 to 28,000 people. About 60 percent of occupied housing units are owner-occupied, which means most residents have a real stake in maintaining their properties. The housing stock skews older - a large share of homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s during the city's railroad and early oil boom eras - with newer subdivisions filling in on the north and west sides of town. Brick construction dominates the older neighborhoods, with more varied materials showing up in recent builds.
Landmarks most residents know include Scenic Mountain State Park on the south side of town, Comanche Trail Park near the center of the city, and the Big Spring State Hospital, one of the area's largest long-term employers. The broader economy ties closely to Permian Basin oil and gas activity, which shapes who moves in and out and how frequently properties turn over. We also cover the communities just outside Big Spring - including Forsan to the south and Stanton to the east.
