- How much does a fence cost?
- It depends on the type, the length, the gates and whether the old fence has to come out. We give you a price per foot in writing after we walk the line, usually the same day. Text a photo and a rough length and we can give you a range before anyone visits.
- Do I need a permit or HOA approval?
- Most cities in the Metroplex want a permit for a new fence, and most HOAs want to approve the style and height. We fill out the HOA form for you and pull the permit where one is needed. Dallas, Plano, Frisco and McKinney all differ, and we know them.
- How long does it take?
- A typical backyard is one to two days once the materials are on site. Iron and long rail fences take longer. We tell you the schedule when we hand you the price.
- Should I stain a new cedar fence?
- Yes, but not right away. New cedar needs about six weeks to dry before stain will soak in. We come back and stain it, or you can, and either way it roughly doubles the life of the pickets.
- What happens to the old fence?
- We tear it out and haul it away. That is included in every replacement, along with the concrete from the old posts.
- Do you build gates to match?
- Every fence gets steel-framed gates so they never sag, with hardware you can work with a glove on. Double drive gates and automatic openers are available on cedar and iron.
