Installation
How much does a new fence cost?
Cost depends on linear footage, material, height, and gate count. We provide a fixed quote after a free on-site walkthrough, so pricing reflects your actual property rather than a generic per-foot estimate.
Do I need HOA approval before installing a fence?
Most Collin County HOAs require architectural review before a new fence goes in, often specifying material, height, and stain color. We check this before finalizing your quote.
How long does installation take?
Most standard residential backyards take one to two days, depending on linear footage, gate count, and terrain.
Which material should I choose?
Depends on privacy needs, HOA rules, budget, and maintenance tolerance. Wood gives full privacy but needs periodic staining; vinyl costs more upfront but needs almost no maintenance; iron offers curb appeal with an open sightline; chain link is the most budget-friendly.
Do you handle utility locates before digging?
Yes, a Texas811 utility locate is scheduled before any digging starts on every job, standard.
Repair
Can a damaged fence be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Storm damage, a single post, or a broken gate frequently don't require a full replacement. We'll tell you honestly when a repair will hold up versus when the fence has reached the end of its useful life.
How fast can you respond after storm damage?
Most repair calls are scheduled within the same week, and many are completed same-day once we're on-site, depending on damage extent and material availability.
Can you match my existing fence's style for a partial repair?
We source pickets, panels, and hardware that reasonably match your existing fence's style and finish. For older or discontinued styles, we'll walk through the closest available match before starting.
Why does my fence keep leaning even without storm damage?
Collin County's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with moisture, which can gradually work posts loose over time. Resetting posts with proper concrete footing depth is the typical fix.
How long does a wood fence last here?
Typically 10 to 15 years, depending on wood type, staining frequency, and sun exposure. South- and west-facing sections weather faster.
