Home Guard Fences & Gates

It’s always a little nerve-wracking to hire a new builder or contractor without personal references, but I took a chance on Billy at Home Guard and I am so glad I did. He was not only professional and prompt from the first time he came out to give estimates on my deck cover to the very last add-on I threw in at the last minute. His drawings and estimates were accurate and professional and he communicated throughout the permit and start process. He worked extremely hard but was always friendly and informative. I can’t say enough good things about Billy and my beautiful, well-built shade cover! Highly recommend!

Stay away from this company. As of 3/23/2020 . To all who live in the San Marcos, New Braunfels Area, We had a deck put on by what we thought was a reliable company in New Braunfels TX called Home Guard Fencing and Decking..I do not recommend him whatsoever. He never completed the job with finalizing it with the City. We had some issues that we found that we asked him to fix as it is under a year warranty. He busted the irrigation when putting the deck in and caused us to have a high water bill. The builder of our new home Construction Mgr was kind enough to fix it as when we contacted Home Guard and told him he said then he would fix it and never did. Some of the work they did does not look professional at all. We contacted the owner and for several weeks he would not return our calls, emails for text One of the first reasons was in middle of February was the soffit where deck attached and venting blew out the soffit beam. I tried calling owner leaving message I would contact license board in and he suddenly called and he then set a date to come and do the repair on 2/27/2020 and has never showed up. Tried calling, texting and emailing everyday since the middle of February with no response, so we contacted the City Building dept. They told us he never completed the finalization of the inspection for the job and came wanted to come out to inspect. The City Mgr of the building Dept came out three weeks ago inspected and gave us a list of work needing to be done in order to finalize the job. Some of the work is electrical and him not licensed to do electrical work is a big issue, the beam to post is incorrect using 3/4 inch bolts with washers not specified lag screws were used instead, post caps attached with deck screws instead of Simpson fasteners or equivalent nail required screws, I am told the way electrical was done could have caused a fire. The company is called Home Guard Fencing and Decking. They have a FB page too. The owner is Billy Clark. Here are some pictures of the work he did. It is not right he is not honoring his work as he was paid well for it and did not perform the duty of completion. We will now have to go to small claims court next. We really didn't need to have to deal with this right now.

These guys are fantastic! The team of installer are true professionals. We had 250 feet of horizontal cedar fence installed In addition, we had an iron handrail add-on around back deck . The work went far beyond our expectations. Billy was incredible. He walked us through the entire process step by step. Although they are not the least expensive fencing company out there, their workmanship was worth every penny. They understood our expectations and ensuring they were exceeded in every way possible. I would recommend HOME GUARD Fence & Deck to anyone looking for a team of polite, honest professionals. We are beyond satisfied with the results...... Thanks again
