🤝 At Butler Contracting, We Believe Character Matters.
Anyone can build a fence. Anyone can install a gate.
But not everyone will treat you, your family, your property, and our community with the respect you deserve.

Since 2015, Butler Contracting has been built on four simple Core Values:

✅ Honesty – We tell the truth about your project, your options, and what we would do if it were our own property.
✅ Communication – We keep you informed before, during, and after your project.
✅ Commitment – We stand behind our work and strive to exceed expectations every day.

These values guide every estimate, every phone call, every installation, and every relationship we build throughout Bastrop County and Central Texas. They aren't just words on a wall—they're how we operate as a company and how we serve our community.

🚨 You don’t have to live this way. 🚨
Did you know the #1 service call we get on wooden privacy fences is gate failure?

Most fence companies build a gate with whatever is cheapest just to win the job. They rarely take the time to explain the differences between a properly engineered gate system and a basic builder-grade gate that will start sagging, dragging, and failing in a short period of time.

A fence gate is the hardest working part of your fence system. It opens, closes, shifts with weather, handles wind loads, and takes abuse every single day. Yet many companies still use undersized hardware, weak framing, poor bracing, and lightweight posts that simply are not designed for long-term performance.

At Butler Contracting, we do things differently. 💪
Our Butler Contracting No Sag Gate Guarantee™️ is built around:

✅ Heavy-duty welded metal gate frames
✅ Proper structural bracing
✅ Commercial-grade hinges & hardware
✅ Correctly installed support posts
✅ Engineered gate systems designed for Texas conditions

Sure, you may get a cheaper gate somewhere else today… but many homeowners end up paying twice when the gate starts failing.

Stop stressing over sagging gates and focus on what really matters — your family, your property, and your peace of mind.

Since 2015, Butler Contracting has proudly built fence and gate systems across Bastrop County designed to LAST.

🚨 Not all fence and pergola contractors are created equal. 🚨 Today we inspected a project installed by another company and found multiple serious issues:

❌ Pool gate safety latches improperly installed
❌ Hinges and hardware already failing
❌ Wrong stain products used on the pergola
❌ Wood left exposed and unprotected leading to premature deterioration and expensive future repairs

Sure… everyone says they use the best materials.
Everyone says they stand behind their work.
Everyone says they’re “local” and offer “quality craftsmanship.”

But the truth is… experience, training, and attention to detail matter. A LOT.

When it comes to fences, gates, pergolas, and pool safety systems, cutting corners today can cost thousands tomorrow — and in some cases create serious safety hazards for your family.

Since 2015, Butler Contracting has built a reputation across Bastrop County and the surrounding areas for doing things the RIGHT way — not the cheapest way.

✅ Engineered fence and gate systems
✅ Proper pool code safety hardware
✅ Premium stains and sealers
✅ Professional installation methods
✅ Long-term durability and performance

That’s why Butler Contracting has earned more 5-Star Reviews than any other local fence company in the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re incredibly thankful for every customer who chooses quality over shortcuts and trusts our family-owned company to protect their property and investment.

⚠️ CHEAPER GATE INSTALLS CAN LEAD TO EXPENSIVE FAILURES ⚠️

This failed gate system was installed by another well-known fence company in the area. The main issue? Critical safety and support features were skipped during installation — including a proper gate stop.

A gate stop is not an “optional upgrade.” It helps prevent excessive stress on hinges, frames, and hardware by stopping the gate from overextending during normal use and high winds. Without it, the entire system takes unnecessary abuse over time.

The result:
❌ Sagging gates
❌ Hardware failure
❌ Structural stress
❌ Unsafe operation
❌ Premature repairs or replacement

Unfortunately, many homeowners assume every fence and gate company installs systems to industry standards. The reality is many companies focus on being the cheapest bid instead of building systems designed for long-term durability and safety.

At Butler Contracting, we believe details matter. Our gate systems are designed with:
✅ Proper gate stops
✅ Heavy-duty hardware
✅ Structural reinforcement
✅ Industry best practices
✅ Long-term reliability in Texas weather

Sure, the lower price may look attractive upfront… but cutting corners during installation often becomes much more expensive later.

When comparing gate companies in Bastrop County and the surrounding area, make sure you’re comparing more than price alone. Quality installation and proper engineering matter.

Is your gate secured with a real gate drop rod system — or just a cheap big box store one?

One of the most overlooked parts of a wooden privacy fence gate system is the drop rod. Unfortunately, many gates across Bastrop County and Central Texas are installed using light-duty drop rods designed more for low cost than long-term performance securing your gate.

The problem is when high winds, saturated ground, and heavy gate pressure hit during Texas storms, those small lightweight drop rods often fail to properly secure the gate. This causes stress on the gate and leads to failure and additional repair cost.

At Butler Contracting, we take a different approach.

Our engineered gate systems utilize heavy-duty drop rod systems that sleeve directly into a pipe installed in the ground. This helps provide:
✅ Greater gate stability
✅ Better wind resistance
✅ Reduced gate movement & stress
✅ Easier operation & alignment
✅ Long-term gate performance
✅ Better durability in Texas conditions

A properly supported gate system helps reduce long-term stress on hinges, framing, latches, and gate posts — helping your gate system last longer and perform better over time.

Many gate systems may look similar on install day, but the small details hidden inside the installation often determine how the gate performs years later.

At Butler Contracting, we focus on professionally installed gate systems designed for long-term durability — not simply the fastest or cheapest install possible.

⚠️ STORM DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE? ⚠️
This automatic gate system failed during last night’s storm… but the operator itself wasn’t the problem. The gate frame tore apart at the opener mounting point after extreme stress and wind load. 🌬️

This is exactly why engineered gate systems matter.
Automatic gate openers are ONLY as strong as the gate they’re attached to. A poorly reinforced gate, thin-wall tubing, improper bracing, or incorrect force settings can lead to catastrophic failure when Texas storms roll through.

At Butler Contracting, we focus on:
✔ Reinforced gate systems
✔ Proper opener geometry
✔ Heavy-duty mounting points
✔ ASTM-conscious gate safety practices
✔ Long-term durability in REAL Texas weather

Storms don’t create weaknesses… they expose them.
Don’t trust your automatic gate system to someone cutting corners with lightweight materials and improper installation methods. Invest in a gate system designed for the long haul.

Why do fence gates often fail first during Texas storms? 🌩️💨 One of the most common problems we see across Bastrop County and Central Texas after severe weather is sagging, dragging, or damaged fence gates.

Unlike standard fence sections, gates experience constant movement, vibration, wind load, and leverage stress every single day. When strong winds and heavy rain arrive, weak gate systems are often the first thing to fail.

Unfortunately, many gates are built using:
❌ Weak bracing methods
❌ Undersized materials
❌ Poor hinge support
❌ Improper framing
❌ Weak post systems

At Butler Contracting, we design and install custom gate systems built for long-term durability and Texas conditions using:

✅ Heavy-duty gate framing
✅ Proper bracing methods
✅ Quality hinges & hardware
✅ Strong post support systems
✅ Automatic gate operator compatibility
✅ Built for Texas weather conditions

A properly built gate system should continue operating safely and reliably long after the storm passes.

Not all automatic gate systems are built for long-term performance and safety. One of the most common issues we see across Bastrop County and Central Texas is automatic gate systems installed using hardware or attachment methods that may eventually loosen, fatigue, or fail under long-term daily operation.

Automatic gates place significant stress and leverage forces on:
✔ Gate frames
✔ Hinges
✔ Mounting points
✔ Gate operators
✔ Posts & support systems

Small installation details that may not seem important on install day can become major performance or safety issues years later after thousands of open-and-close cycles, weather exposure, vibration, and heavy gate movement.

At Butler Contracting, we focus on professionally installed automatic gate systems designed for:
✅ Long-term durability
✅ Proper gate support & geometry
✅ Professional welding & fabrication
✅ ASTM-focused installation practices
✅ Quality hardware & operator systems
✅ Texas conditions & long-term performance

A gate system should not only look good when it is first installed — it should continue operating safely and reliably for years to come.
