    What Friendswood Homeowners Say About Us

    5.027 reviews on Google
    “My 25 yo cedar fence was partially destroyed by Hurricane Beryl so I decided to replace the entire section of fence. I contacted several fence companies but only Kyle at 360Fence & Deck responded quickly with a willingness to measure the section and provide an estimate within the next 2 days. The estimate was lower than previous quotes and I was impressed with Kyle's customer service. They completed the job within 3 days and I am very satisfied with the results. I was very grateful they built the new fence without harming existing landscaping growing on the old fence. Clearly these guys are excellent craftsmen with the appearance and quality adhering to very high standards. Kyle was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns. I would definitely use 360Fence & Deck co for future work and I strongly recommend them to others.”

    Wood Pergola in Friendswood — Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a wood pergola cost in Friendswood, TX?

    Wood pergola construction in the Friendswood & Houston area ranges from $3,500–$12,000+ depending on size, wood species, and design complexity. A typical 12×12 cedar pergola costs $5,000–$8,000 installed. Cedar privacy fences with steel posts dominate West Ranch and Heritage Park. Aluminum pool fences are common due to Friendswood's pool-heavy neighborhoods.

    Do you build wood pergola projects throughout Friendswood?

    Yes. We build throughout Friendswood, including Friendswood Lakes, West Ranch, The Forest, Eagle Lakes, and across the Greater Houston area. Our crews are out of Pearland, so Friendswood is a short drive for measures, builds and warranty visits. Most of the Friendswood jobs we quote come off FM 518 and FM 528.

    What makes a wood pergola last in Friendswood's soil and weather?

    Anchored posts, braced connections, deliberate rafter spacing and weather-ready finishes create shade that stays stable in Gulf Coast conditions. We also account for Friendswood's heat, humidity, heavy rain and soil movement when selecting materials and connections. Every number we give a Friendswood homeowner comes after an in-person measure, never over the phone.

    Do you handle Friendswood HOA and permit requirements?

    Post-Hurricane Harvey, many Friendswood properties have elevated foundations that require custom fence grading to maintain consistent height and drainage. We pull the specs for your Friendswood neighborhood before we quote so your wood pergola is approved the first time. Aluminum fencing is ideal for Friendswood's bay-adjacent properties — it won't rust like iron in the salty, humid air.

    What wood is best for a pergola in Texas?

    Western red cedar is the top choice for Texas pergolas — it naturally resists rot, insects, and UV damage. Pressure-treated pine is the most affordable option. Ipe and tropical hardwoods offer the longest lifespan at a premium price. Friendswood sits in Galveston and Harris counties, and Friendswood is fifteen minutes from our shop.

    How long does a wood pergola last in Friendswood?

    A well-maintained cedar pergola lasts 15–25 years in Friendswood's climate. Pressure-treated pine averages 10–15 years. Ipe and hardwood pergolas can last 30+ years with minimal maintenance. We work throughout Friendswood, including Stevenson Park, West Ranch and Friendswood Lakes.

    Can you attach a pergola to my house?

    Yes. We build both attached pergolas (connected to your home's fascia or wall) and freestanding pergolas. Attached pergolas require proper ledger board installation and flashing to prevent water intrusion. Post-Hurricane Harvey, many Friendswood properties have elevated foundations that require custom fence grading to maintain consistent height and drainage.
