Serving Marshall, TX and surrounding areas. (430) 214-0130
Complete Marshall Fences is a fence contractor serving Kilgore, TX, with experience in chain link installation, wood privacy fencing, and pet containment fences for homes throughout Gregg County. We have been serving East Texas since 2019, and every estimate we provide is free with no obligation.
Chain link is a practical fit for Kilgore properties - the modest in-town lots that are common in the oil boom neighborhoods work well with a standard galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link run, and it holds up to the humidity and storms that roll through Gregg County each spring. If you need to contain a dog or secure a back yard without spending a lot, see our chain link fence installation page for details.
A lot of Kilgore homes were built during or just after the 1930s oil boom, and the neighborhoods around them have a character that suits a cedar privacy fence well. Cedar holds up in the East Texas humidity better than untreated pine and takes stain evenly, making it the right wood for a property that you plan to keep for a long time.
Kilgore's in-town neighborhoods have lots that sit close together, and a full privacy fence makes your backyard usable rather than visible from the street or neighboring yards. The long East Texas outdoor season means you will actually spend time in that private space, making the investment worthwhile.
Kilgore yards tend to be flat to gently sloping, which makes them straightforward to fence for pet containment. Whether you need a small kennel run or a full perimeter fence to keep your dog safely in the yard, we can match the right height and spacing to the size and energy level of your animal.
Spring storm seasons in Gregg County bring high winds that knock fence sections flat, and the clay soil movement over a wet-dry cycle pushes posts out of position in older fences around Kilgore. Catching and fixing those problems early stops a single damaged section from turning into a full fence replacement.
Vinyl requires no painting or staining and does not absorb the moisture that causes wood to rot in East Texas summers. For Kilgore homeowners who want a clean look without the ongoing maintenance, vinyl is a strong alternative - especially on properties where the fence line borders a well-kept neighboring yard.
Kilgore grew fast during the East Texas Oil Field boom that started in 1930, and a large share of the city's homes date back to those years or the decades right after. Those homes have been through a lot of East Texas weather: heat, humidity, and the kind of spring thunderstorms that can push sustained winds strong enough to flatten a fence section. Add in the clay soil that runs throughout Gregg County - soil that swells when it rains and contracts as it dries - and you have conditions that will expose a fence built with the wrong post depth or the wrong concrete mix within just a few seasons.
The mix of rental and owner-occupied homes in Kilgore also means that some properties have had deferred fence maintenance for years, where boards have been patched rather than properly replaced and posts are long past their useful depth. If you are buying a home in Kilgore or taking over a rental property, it is worth having someone assess the fence before the next storm season rather than discovering the problem after the first hard wind. We do those assessments at no charge when you call for an estimate.
Our crew works throughout Kilgore regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect fence contractor work here. Kilgore sits at the intersection of US Highway 259 and Interstate 20, and the housing stock ranges from older brick and frame homes near downtown and the East Texas Oil Museum to newer subdivisions on the outskirts of the city near the highway corridors. We see the full range on every trip out.
The Kilgore College campus and the surrounding residential neighborhoods are a regular part of our work area, and the lots near the older parts of town near the World's Richest Acre district tend to be compact - which means fence lines often run close to property edges and driveways. We take measurements carefully in those situations so the fence sits exactly where it should.
We also serve the communities that surround Kilgore, including Henderson to the south in Rusk County, and Longview to the north. If you are in Gregg County or a neighboring area and need a fence contractor, we are a straightforward drive from Marshall.
Reach out by phone or through the contact form on this page. We reply within 1 business day and will ask a few quick questions about your property and timeline before scheduling a free visit.
We come out, measure your fence line, check the soil and any obstacles, and give you a written quote covering materials and labor. If the City of Kilgore requires a permit for your job, we will explain the cost and expected timeline up front - no surprises.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle permit applications with the city and arrange utility locating through 811 before any digging starts. You do not need to be present for that process.
Most Kilgore residential jobs wrap up in one to two days. We walk the finished fence with you before we leave to confirm everything is right, and we handle cleanup so the yard is clean when we go.
We serve Kilgore and all of Gregg County. No obligation - just a straight answer on what your project will cost.
(430) 214-0130Kilgore is a city of about 13,000 people in Gregg County, sitting at the heart of the East Texas Oil Field - one of the largest oil fields ever discovered in the United States. The city grew almost overnight when oil was struck in 1930, and that rapid growth shaped the tight street grids, modest lot sizes, and older housing stock that still define much of Kilgore today. The Kilgore College Rangerettes, founded in 1940, remain one of the most recognized symbols of the city both in Texas and nationally. Residents in the older neighborhoods near downtown live on lots that reflect that early-20th-century growth - compact, flat, and often shaded by mature trees.
The newer subdivisions and commercial corridors along US 259 and Interstate 20 represent a different side of Kilgore - one that has grown steadily since the 1980s and includes more recent construction with larger lots and different fencing needs. Whether you are in an older brick home near the East Texas Oil Museum or in a newer place on the edge of town, the clay soil and storm patterns are the same across all of Kilgore. Nearby, Longview to the north is part of the same metro area, and Gladewater sits just to the northwest along the Sabine River.
