Get your price and your build date without a sales visit.
Most fence companies book you a week out, send a salesman to your yard, then take a few more days to get you a number. Ours takes about two minutes and you never leave the couch. Type your address, trace your fence line on the satellite view of your own yard, and your price is on the screen — material, gates, old fence tear-out and the monthly payment if you finance it. Like the number? Put $150 down and you are on the schedule. Our office manager Kelsey calls you within one business day to set your build date, and we are typically running two to three weeks out. The $150 comes off your final invoice.

Building fences in Gonzales
Gonzales runs from older in-town lots to newer builds out toward the interstate, and we see both. In-town fences are usually shorter runs with more gates and tighter access. The newer side is straight lines and easy access, which is the fastest work we do.
A fair number of Gonzales jobs are commercial rather than residential. If yours is a business, have Kelsey contact you and let her scope it properly.

They helped us choose the right privacy fence for our backyard and we couldn’t be happier. Great craftsmanship and excellent customer service!

They completely replaced our fence, worked quickly, kept everything clean, and the finished product came out great. What impressed me most was Dante personally coming back after the job was finished to walk everything and make sure it was done to his standards.

Absolutely love how everything turned out! The aluminum fence looks amazing, and the turnkey outdoor kitchen is exactly what we envisioned. Great craftsmanship, professional service, and an easy process from start to finish.

Really good experience from beginning to end. We did a covered patio with a large
concrete slab and it turned out better than I pictured.
This is an estimate for planning only, not a quote. Real pricing moves with height, style, terrain, access, how much old fence has to come out and get hauled off, and what the site actually looks like when we walk it. Every number we put in writing comes after an on-site measurement, and there is no deposit to get one. We publish these rates so nobody spends an afternoon finding out we are not a $20 a foot company.
Our prices are on this page on purpose.
Wood from $25 a foot. Aluminum and iron from $45. Vinyl from $50. Composite from $60. Minimum project $2,000. If that is outside what you had in mind, you have not wasted an afternoon finding out — and neither have we.
Gonzales is ten minutes down Airline from our shop, and it is a market with two halves — residential fencing in the subdivisions and commercial work along the Airline and Burnside corridors. We do both out of the same yard.
Inside the city limits, permits go through the City of Gonzales rather than the parish. We know which desk your address belongs to, which is a small thing until it is the reason a job sits still for two weeks.

How we build it
The four things that decide if a fence lasts.
The posts
Pressure treated posts from Picou Lumber, straight and free of the heavy knots and cracks that come out of a big box bunk. On a wood fence you can take the post out of the equation for good: PostMaster+ steel driven four feet down is $4 a foot more and carries a lifetime warranty from our supplier.
The line and the grade
We pull a string line off your survey, not off the old fence. Where the yard falls we rack panels to follow the grade instead of stepping them and leaving a gap underneath.
The pickets
Premium imported cedar, because pine shrinks as it dries and turns a privacy fence into a louver. Cedar holds its width and adds ten years or more to the life of the fence.
Hardware and gates
A 3 inch steel post and a lightweight aluminum frame under every gate, wrapped so it still looks like wood. Hinges sized to the weight they actually carry, latches that still catch when the wood moves.
Look behind the pickets
Why our gates do not sag.
InsideStreet side↔
Drag the handle. The street side is cedar. Behind it is a welded steel frame on steel posts — that is the part that decides whether the gate still closes in five years.
A double drive gate from the inside. This is what is holding it up.
From the yard it looks like the rest of the fence. Turn around and you see what it actually is: a 3 inch steel post on each side, a lightweight metal gate frame carrying the pickets, and cable bracing corner to corner so the frame stays square instead of racking.
A standard wood gate is a timber frame, a diagonal brace and two hinges. It works for about two Louisiana summers, then the wood moves and the latch corner drops. Everybody knows that gate. Most people assume it is just what gates do — it is not, it is what a wood-framed gate does.
3 inch steel gate postsSet deeper and heavier than line posts, because they carry a swinging load
Metal frame, not timberLight enough to swing easy, stiff enough to stay square
Cable and turnbuckle bracingAdjustable. If it ever moves, it gets tightened, not replaced
Wrapped to matchSame cedar pickets as the fence, so from the yard it disappears
We come to you and walk the line with you. Where it runs, what it has to do, how many gates, what the ground does. We measure the whole perimeter off your survey rather than pacing it off, and we talk through anything else you want built back there while we are on site. Then you get an estimate with a clear scope.
2
Material And Layout
Material, height, style, picket direction, where the gates land and which way they swing. If your neighborhood has an architectural committee, we put the submittal together and wait on approval before we order anything.
3
Permits And Locates
City of gonzales permits inside the city limits, ascension parish permits outside them and 811 locates before anything goes in the ground. You will not have to make a single one of those calls, and nobody puts a post through a gas line because a locate got skipped.
4
Tear-Out And Install
If there is an old fence, it comes out and gets hauled off. Then posts get driven, the line gets pulled, panels go up and gates get hung and adjusted. We clean up every day. We are guests in your yard and we act like it.
5
Final Walk Through
We walk the finished fence together, work every gate, and nothing gets signed off until you are happy with it. Your workmanship warranty is in writing and it transfers if you sell the house.
Good to know
Questions we get a lot.
Why is your price higher than the guy who quoted me $20 a foot?
Because of what is in it. Pressure treated posts from Picou Lumber instead of big box lumber, premium imported cedar pickets instead of pine that shrinks apart, gates built on a 3 inch steel post and aluminum frame, permits and the HOA submittal, and a lifetime workmanship warranty behind all of it. We publish our prices so nobody has to sit through a pitch to find out whether we are in their range.
What warranty comes with a fence?
A lifetime workmanship warranty on every fence we install. If our workmanship fails, we come back and fix it. On a wood fence with the PostMaster+ upgrade, the posts also carry a lifetime warranty from our supplier.
Do you install fences everywhere in Gonzales?
Yes. Gonzales city limits and the surrounding parish — Duplessis, Galvez, Sorrento, Dutchtown and Prairieville.
Do you pull fence permits in Gonzales?
Yes. City of gonzales permits inside the city limits, ascension parish permits outside them, plus any HOA architectural submittal your neighborhood requires, and we call in 811 locates before we drive a post. It is part of the job, not something you chase down yourself.
What does a fence cost in Gonzales?
Premium Cedar Privacy Fence starts at $25 a foot, ornamental aluminum and ornamental iron at $45, vinyl privacy at $50 and composite at $60. PostMaster+ posts are an optional $4 a foot on top, and gates are priced per gate. Height, style, terrain, access and whether an old fence has to come out all move the number, so the real one comes after we measure the line — there is a calculator at the top of this page for a ballpark.
What posts and pickets do you use?
Pressure treated posts from Picou Lumber rather than the big box store — their lumber comes without the warps, cracks and heavy knots, and the post is the one part of a fence you cannot fix later. Pickets are premium imported cedar, which holds its width instead of shrinking like pine and adds ten years or more to the life of the fence. On wood fences, PostMaster+ steel posts driven four feet down are an optional $4 a foot and carry a lifetime warranty from our supplier.
What makes your gates different?
Every gate we hang is built on a 3 inch steel post with a lightweight aluminum frame, then wrapped to match the fence. From the yard it looks like an ordinary wood gate. It is just built so it will not sag or lean.
Can you build brick columns or a stone wall instead?
Yes. We are masons as well as fence builders — brick columns set between fence panels, full brick privacy walls, stone and tile faced walls, and driveway entry columns with the conduit for an opener run inside. Masonry is quoted per project rather than per foot.
Do you tear out my old fence?
Yes. Demolition, haul-off and disposal are priced into the job when there is an existing fence on the line. You do not need a trailer or a trip to the dump.
Does the good side face my neighbor?
On a standard install, yes — that is the convention here and what most HOAs require. If you want the finished side facing in, a shadowbox fence looks the same from both sides and ends the argument.
How far out are you booked?
Fence work is typically scheduled two to three weeks out, and we give you the real date at the estimate rather than one that sounds good. Weather moves things in Louisiana and we call you when it does.
Do you do more than fences?
Yes. We are a full outdoor living builder — concrete, pavilions, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire features. Plenty of Gonzales jobs start as a fence and end as a finished backyard.

These are estimates for planning only. Financing is offered through our lending partners Acorn and Lyon Financial, not by Parish Outdoor Builders, and every loan is subject to the lender's credit approval. The 7.24% APR shown is an example rate used to illustrate a payment — your actual rate, term, payment and eligibility depend on your credit profile, the loan amount and the lender's underwriting, and not every applicant will qualify. Financing through Acorn and Lyon Financial runs from project amounts of $1,000 up to $450,000, and the lender's program approves credit scores as low as 610 — approval is still theirs to give and not every applicant will qualify. The program carries no early payoff fee, so a loan can be paid down or paid off at any time without a prepayment penalty. Prequalifying uses a soft credit check that does not affect your credit score; a hard inquiry may occur only if you choose to complete a full application. Nothing here is a commitment to lend, an offer of credit, or financial advice.
Before you call
Pick the right material first.
Wood, aluminum, iron, vinyl and composite each win in a different situation, and the wrong pick is expensive for a long time. See all five side by side, with pricing →
On a job with this many moving parts, something will eventually go sideways. A delivery runs late. A pour does not finish the way we wanted. What I will not do is disappear when it happens. If something is not right, you call your project manager and it gets handled. If it is bigger than that, I come look at it myself.
We are going to make mistakes. We are not going to stop until you are completely happy.

Originally this was probably going to be a 4 star review because we had a little hiccup during the project. But after seeing how much they actually care about making things right, I had to change it to 5 stars. As soon as we called our project manager Rodney, he had it taken care of the next day. Then Donte, the owner, came by himself to make sure we had been completely taken care of without us ever reaching out to him. That went a long way with my husband and honestly is the main reason we will 100% be recommending Parish Outdoor Builders to our church and anyone else!!

We had them extend our driveway and pour a new pad for our outdoor kitchen. Rodney kept everything moving and answered my questions when I called. Job came out great
Really good experience from beginning to end. We did a covered patio with a large concrete slab and it turned out better than I pictured. Rodney was easy to get ahold of and stayed on top of everything

Kelsey was super helpful getting everything scheduled. We love the new patio and cover!
Our backyard was basically just grass before this. Now we have a concrete patio, pergola and a place to put our furniture. Dante stopped by the property during the build and made sure we were happy with how things were going. Very happy with it

Love the new patio cover!!! Looks great and was finished quicker than I expected. They also gave us one of the Parish care packages with tshirts, Yeti cups and some other goodies which was a nice surprise
Dante was really involved with our project. He came out to look at the work himself and called me after to make sure we were good with everything. The driveway extension and patio came out great. Would definitely recommend Parish Outdoor Builders

We wanted somewhere to hang out outside and this was exactly what we needed. New slab, covered patio and a little pergola area. Looks great and the whole backyard feels different now
Very fair pricing. The best of three quotes. Great work, final product looks good. We did have some installation timing issues. Job lasted a few days longer than originally planned. May not have been totally their fault. I will still recommend to others.

Ready when you are
Set it once, set it straight.
You have seen the numbers. Next step is a free on-site measure in Gonzales and a firm price in writing. No deposit, no hard sell.
Quality is remembered long after the number is forgotten. Everybody in this parish knows somebody who saved a few thousand dollars up front and paid for it twice. Here is what you are actually taking on when the bid is low because the contractor is not licensed, not insured, and not planning to be around.
The risk of hiring an unlicensed, fly‑by‑night contractor
Fines and stop‑work orders. The city or parish can red‑tag an unpermitted structure mid‑build. The work stops, the fines are yours, and in some cases what is already up has to come back down at your expense.
An injury in your yard becomes your problem. If a crew is working without workers’ compensation and somebody gets hurt on your property, you can end up the one being claimed against — and your homeowner’s policy is what they come looking for.
No real recourse when the work is bad. An unlicensed contractor answers to no licensing board. Your only path is civil court, and an LLC that dissolves on Friday has nothing left to collect on Monday. We take our 5‑star rating seriously and we would rather fix a job than lose one.
A lien on your house for money you already paid. If he does not pay his lumber yard or his subs, they can file a lien against your property — even when you paid him in full.
A denied insurance claim after the first storm. Carriers ask whether a structure was permitted and engineered. A cover attached to your house that was never engineered for Louisiana wind load is the one they will look at hardest.
Trouble at resale. Unpermitted work shows up in the inspection. It gets discounted, renegotiated, or it kills the deal outright, years after you thought the job was finished.
A warranty is only worth the company behind it. A written warranty from a business that is gone in eighteen months is a piece of paper.
An abandoned job and a deposit you cannot chase. Half a slab, an open trench, and a phone number that stops working is a common enough story around here that you have probably heard it.
Strangers in your yard nobody vetted. Day labor hired that morning, no background, no accountability, working ten feet from your back door.
How we are set up so none of that is your problem
State licensed. Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, LSLBC #063699. Verifiable before you sign.
Over $2,500,000 in coverage. General liability and workers’ compensation. The certificate of insurance is attached to every proposal automatically — you do not have to ask for it.
We pull the permits. Parish permitting, setback and floodplain review, engineering on the covered structure, 811 locates and inspections are handled by your project manager and priced into the job.
A written workmanship warranty. Three years on structures, lifetime on fences, from a company that has been at the same shop on Airline Highway since 2017.
One project manager, start to finish. Same person from the walkthrough to the last sweep. Not a salesman who hands you off.
Our reviews are printed in full. Good and bad, word for word, with the bad one left in. Go read them.
