If you are building a fence in Lubbock, our top pick for 2026 is Texas Select Fencing of West Texas - the best overall fence company in the market, with a service range that runs from backyard cedar privacy fences to farm and ranch perimeter work outside the loop. Four other companies earn spots on this list for specific kinds of jobs, from repairs to low-maintenance chain link.
Lubbock is a harder place to build a fence than most homeowners realize. The West Texas wind is the number one fence killer here. A solid privacy fence is basically a sail, and a builder who sets posts at standard 8-foot spacing with shallow footings on an exposed run is building you a future repair bill. Post depth, post spacing, and rail count matter more in Lubbock than almost anywhere else in Texas.
Then there is the ground itself. Much of the South Plains sits on caliche - a white, rock-hard calcium layer that turns post holes into a drilling job instead of a digging job. A crew without the right auger will cheat on depth, and you will not find out until the first hard spring blow. Add relentless sun and blowing dust that grays out cedar faster than it does in East Texas, and you want a builder who plans for all three.
How we pick: our rankings weigh verified business details, service range, and each company's public track record. Featured partners are verified paid members of Fence Certified and are marked as such - placement never changes the facts we report. Every company below is independently listed in our Lubbock directory.
1. Texas Select Fencing of West Texas
Verified featured partner
Best for: Best overall in Lubbock
Texas Select Fencing of West Texas covers the full spread of what Lubbock properties actually need: wood privacy fences, wrought iron, chain link, farm and ranch fencing, commercial work, and custom gates. That range matters here, because plenty of Lubbock jobs are hybrids - cedar privacy around the backyard, ornamental iron across the front, and a stretch of ranch wire where the lot backs up to open land.
On wood fences, the details that survive West Texas wind are exactly the ones worth paying for: posts set deep in concrete, tighter spacing than the standard 8 feet on exposed runs, and three rails instead of two so pickets do not work loose in a spring gale. Wrought iron and chain link are the low-maintenance answers to Lubbock sun - no stain cycle, no graying, and neither one cares about blowing dust the way painted wood does. For acreage outside the loop, their farm and ranch service handles the long perimeter runs where material choice and gate placement matter more than curb appeal.
Commercial capability rounds it out. A crew that handles security fencing and gate systems on commercial schedules tends to run tighter on residential jobs too. As our featured partner in Lubbock, Texas Select's business details have been verified by Fence Certified. Call them at (806) 853-9217, visit their website, or see their Fence Certified profile.
2. All-State Fence & Supply
Best for: Material variety and fence repair
All-State Fence & Supply runs the widest material lineup of the free listings on this list: wood, chain link, vinyl, wrought iron, commercial fencing, gates, and repair. That breadth is useful if you have not settled on a material yet - one estimate visit can price cedar against vinyl against iron on the same layout. Vinyl deserves a serious look in Lubbock because it shrugs off sun that would have you re-staining cedar on a regular cycle, though panel engineering and post schedule still decide whether it survives the wind. The repair service is the other standout; after a windstorm takes out a few panels, a company that does repairs as a real service line beats begging a builder to fit you in. Call (806) 799-3729 or see their Fence Certified profile.
3. FenceCo LBK
Best for: Wood privacy fences and repairs
FenceCo LBK keeps a focused scope - wood fencing, commercial work, gates, and repair - and focus has real advantages. A crew that builds cedar privacy fences week in and week out gets the wind details right by habit: consistent post depth through caliche, rails crowned the right way, gates hung so they still latch after the frame takes a season of gusts. The repair line makes them a practical call when a storm leans a section over but the rest of the fence has years left; a good repair crew will tell you honestly which it is. Commercial capability means they can also handle the bigger wood and gate packages that property managers need. Call (806) 784-7405 or see their Fence Certified profile.
4. Texas Fence and Pergola
Best for: Chain link and ornamental iron
Texas Fence and Pergola concentrates on the metal side of the market: chain link, wrought iron, gates, and commercial fencing. In Lubbock that is a smart specialty. Metal does not gray, warp, or demand a stain schedule, and an open chain link or iron fence lets the wind pass through instead of fighting it - which is why so many West Texas commercial yards and school perimeters are chain link. For homeowners, ornamental iron across a front yard gives you security and sightlines without signing up for wood maintenance in blowing dust. Gate work is the detail to watch with any metal fence, and having it as a core service is a good sign. Call (806) 701-5200 or see their Fence Certified profile.
5. Noble Fence
Best for: Straightforward wood fence and gate projects
Noble Fence keeps it simple: wood fencing and gates. If your project is a cedar privacy fence around a Lubbock backyard with a walk gate and maybe a double drive gate, that is exactly the job this scope fits. Simple scopes are worth respecting - there is no upsell into materials the crew rarely builds, and the estimate conversation stays concrete: post depth, post spacing, rail count, picket grade, gate hardware. Ask how they space posts on wind-exposed runs and what they do when the auger hits caliche; a company that answers those two questions specifically is a company that has built here. Call (806) 773-0600 or see their Fence Certified profile.
How to choose between them
Get at least three quotes. Lubbock bids on the same fence can vary widely, and the price difference usually lives in the line items, not the profit margin. Make every bidder break out: post depth and diameter, post spacing, concrete per post, rail count, picket grade and thickness, gate hardware, and tear-out haul-off. A cheap bid that is silent on post depth is not a cheap bid - it is a shallow one.
Ask two Lubbock-specific questions. First: what post spacing do you use on wind-exposed runs? For a 6-foot solid privacy fence catching open-field wind, tighter than 8 feet is the honest answer. Second: what happens when you hit caliche? You want to hear about drilling to full depth, not shortening the hole and adding extra concrete.
Then verify insurance. Ask for a certificate of general liability sent directly from the insurer, not a photocopy from the truck. Any established company can produce one in a day, and a fence crew working around your neighbor's property line and buried utilities is not a place to skip it.
What a fence costs in Lubbock (2026)
Installed prices start at these per-linear-foot baselines. A typical Lubbock project runs about 150 linear feet, and wind-hardening upgrades - deeper posts, tighter spacing, a third rail - push wood toward the upper end of its range.
| Material | Starting price (per linear foot, installed) | Lubbock notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chain link | $17 | Wind passes through it; the low-maintenance workhorse here |
| Wood (cedar) | $28 | Budget for a regular stain cycle - sun and dust age it fast |
| Vinyl/PVC | $30 | No staining, but insist on a wind-rated post schedule |
| Aluminum | $34 | Open ornamental look without rust worries |
| Wrought iron | $38 | Handles sun and wind; strong choice for front yards |
| Composite | $45 | Premium privacy option with minimal upkeep |
