Homeowners across Greater San Antonio are upgrading curb appeal and security with metal fencing. Whether you prefer the industrial strength of steel or the corrosion-resistant elegance of aluminium, CountBricks brings unmatched speed, cost certainty, and craftsmanship to every residential project.
• Heat-resistant finishes withstand South Texas sun without warping
• Powder-coated colours comply with most HOA aesthetic guidelines
• Minimal maintenance compared with wood pickets in humid climates
• Strong return on investment when paired with professional installation
Steel fencing offers superior strength, making it ideal for enhanced security or sloped lots that need heavier gauge panels. Galvanised and powder-coated options resist rust, but periodic inspection is still recommended.
Aluminium fencing is lighter, naturally rust-proof, and easier to install on decorative or pool enclosures. Although not as tough as steel, aluminium’s baked-on finish protects against salt and humidity blowing in from the Gulf Coast.
CountBricks estimators guide you through thickness, style, and coating selections during a live voice consultation, instantly pricing each option inside our AI platform.
Traditional quotes can take days; CountBricks compresses it into minutes. Using real-time supplier feeds and our voice-to-estimate engine, a homeowner can:
1. Walk the perimeter with a smartphone
2. Describe desired fence height, posts, gates, and finishes
3. Receive a fully scoped estimate, schedule, and material list in the same call
The result is a transparent, line-item proposal you can review or tweak on CountBricks.com/services before signing digitally.
Already have a site plan or CAD file? Upload it to CountBricks.com/blueprint-takeoff. Our AI extracts linear footage, elevation changes, and gate locations, then applies San Antonio-specific labour productivity factors and city permit fees. No manual counting, no missed corners—just reliable numbers.
1. Permitting & HOA Approval – CountBricks prepares sealed drawings and submits to the City of San Antonio and your HOA committee, speeding up approvals.
2. Utility Locates – We coordinate with 811 to mark gas, water, and electrical lines two days prior to digging.
3. Post Setting – Steel or aluminium posts are set in concrete piers sized for Bexar County soil conditions. Cure time is factored into the construction calendar you receive.
4. Panel & Gate Installation – Pre-finished panels are secured with stainless hardware to prevent galvanic corrosion. Gate hardware is adjusted for smooth swing despite Texas clay expansion.
5. Final Walk-Through & Digital Close-Out – Punch lists are completed on a tablet. You receive warranty docs, care guides, and final invoices through CountBricks.com/client-portal.

The Ramirez family wanted a modern, low-maintenance barrier around their half-acre lot in north-west San Antonio. They called CountBricks on a Saturday morning and completed a 14-minute voice consultation while streaming yard photos from their phone. Within 30 minutes they received a 12-page proposal detailing 260 linear feet of black aluminium spear-top fencing, two arched gates, and a stub-out for future motorisation.
