Why Core Values Matter More Than the Lowest Price
At Butler Contracting, we believe how you do business matters just as much as the finished project.

Unfortunately, we hear the same stories every week from homeowners across Bastrop County:

▪️ "They said they would start Monday and never showed up."
▪️ "They started my project, disappeared, and bounced to another job."
▪️ "It was cheaper, but now I have to pay someone else to fix it."
▪️ "The quality wasn't what I expected."

Everyone loves saving money, and we understand the temptation to choose the lowest bid or the company promising the fastest schedule. But value isn't measured by who is cheapest—it's measured by trust, craftsmanship, and standing behind your work.

Our Core Values

✔️Integrity:We do what we say we will do. Our word still means something.

✔️Honesty:We believe in straightforward conversations, realistic expectations, and recommendations that are in our customers' best interests.

✔️Communication:We answer the phone, return calls, and keep customers informed throughout the project. You should never wonder where your contractor is or what happens next.

✔️Commitment:When we start a project, we're committed to finishing it with the quality and craftsmanship our customers deserve—not when it's convenient, but when it is done right.

Since 2015, Butler Contracting has built its reputation one customer at a time. Not through flashy promises or a handful of social media friends, but through hundreds of satisfied customers throughout Central Texas who have trusted us with their homes and businesses.
We're not trying to be the cheapest.

We're striving to be the contractor you trust enough to recommend to your family, friends, and neighbors.
Because reputation isn't built by advertisements—it's built by keeping your word.

Integrity. Honesty. Communication. Commitment.
That's the Butler Contracting difference.

The rain is finally here, but is your property ready for it?
One of the biggest mistakes we see isn't a fence problem—it's a drainage problem.

Standing water can: • Accelerate fence post failure • Cause gates to sag and bind • Wash out soil around posts • Create erosion issues • Damage driveways and access roads •Foundations and lead to costly repairs down the road.

A properly designed fence, gate, and drainage system should work together to handle Texas weather. That's why we pay close attention to grade changes, water flow, post installation depth, and site conditions before we build.

At Butler Contracting, we don't just install fences and gates. We help property owners protect their investment with engineered solutions designed for Texas conditions.

If you notice standing water around your fence, gate, driveway, or ranch entrance after this week's rain, now is the time to address it before a small issue becomes an expensive repair.

Should I choose cedar or pressure-treated pine for my fence? The truth is both can be great options when installed correctly.

Cedar is known for its natural beauty, dimensional stability, and resistance to insects and decay when properly stained with an oil based stain it's a great product. Many homeowners love the premium appearance and natural character that cedar brings to a property.

Pressure-treated pine offers excellent value, durability, and longevity when properly maintained. Modern treated lumber has come a long way and remains one of the most popular fencing materials in Texas.

The real question isn't which material is "best."
The real question is:

Which material is best for YOUR property, budget, and long-term goals?

At Butler Contracting, we install both cedar and pressure-treated fences and help homeowners understand the pros and cons of each before making a decision.

In our latest video, we break down the differences between cedar and treated pine so you can make an informed choice before investing in a new fence.

A lot has changed since 2015. Remember when contractors actually answered the phone?
Remember when they showed up when they said they would? When they returned your calls?

When they communicated throughout the project?
When a handshake still meant something?

We answer the phone.
If we miss your call, we call you back.
We show up.
We communicate.
We do what we say we're going to do.
