Homeowners insurance ought to fix it for him.


There is a thought but in Houston that may not pan out. In coastal areas
typical home owners insurance has a wind storm clause that usually requires
that the deductible be double. Thank you Katrina. 2% of the value of the
home is often more than the cost of a good fence. That's common in Houston
but probably not every where.
