Allen sits on some of the widest residential lots in the Dallas area, where mature oaks, elms, and pecans define the neighborhood character and the view from the street. Subdivision architecture in ZIP 75013 runs to cedar privacy fences, and that means our crews know exactly what Allen homeowners expect: clean lines, HOA compliance, and fences that last.

When a storm takes down a fence, or when a post has heaved in the clay soil and your pickets are racking, Dallas Fencing is the call. We have been serving Allen and the surrounding Dallas area since 2012, and we show up with the same crew every time, not a rotating roster. That consistency matters when your fence is part of the neighborhood identity.

Fencing in Allen (75013)

Allen's master-planned subdivisions sit on expansive clay that swells and shrinks with the wet-then-dry cycle. That ground movement is the defining fact for fence posts. A post set in tamped soil will heave and rack the pickets or rails; a post set in concrete stays true, but the concrete itself can crack and shift. We have learned to read that clay and set posts deep, with concrete collars that move with the ground instead of fighting it. Cedar privacy fences are the near-universal choice in Allen HOAs, and we know the architectural standards by heart. Vinyl is gaining ground for low-maintenance appeal, and we install both with the same attention to post spacing, level stringers, and cap trim that keeps a fence looking sharp for years.

Our team has served Allen homeowners and property managers since 2012. We are fully insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and we are proud members of the American Fence Association.

How a Fence Job Works in Allen

Step 1: You call us at (469) 737-9552 or request a free on-site assessment. We come out, walk your property line, note the terrain and any obstacles, and listen to what you want the fence to do. If you have an HOA, we verify the architectural standards with you right there. If there is an existing fence, we inspect the posts and framing to see what can be saved and what needs to come out. No surprise fees, no pressure.

Step 2: We provide a clear, itemized quote. If repair is the better choice, we say so. If replacement makes sense, we explain why and give you options: wood or vinyl, board-on-board or side-by-side, post spacing and concrete depth. Before we dig, we call 811 for a utility locate, because hitting a gas or electric line is not an option. We set posts in concrete, install stringers level, and nail or screw pickets true. On vinyl, we use the right fasteners and leave proper expansion gaps. On gates, we hang them square and adjust hinges so they close smooth and don't drag.

Step 3: We haul away all the old material and debris, sweep the work area, and walk the fence with you. You should see no pile of scrap left behind. We leave your property clean.

Fence pricing in Allen depends on material, height, post spacing, and site conditions. Wood privacy fencing runs from $29 per linear foot for basic board-on-board with pressure-treated posts, up to $45 or more for premium cedar with deeper posts and wider spacing. Vinyl privacy fencing starts at $40 per linear foot and holds its cost well because it needs no staining or sealing. Chain link is the budget option at $15 per linear foot, good for side yards and pet containment. Ornamental aluminum or iron runs $44 per linear foot and up, depending on design and finish. A new gate installed in an existing opening runs $460 and up; a full automatic driveway gate system starts at $2,900. Repair work, including post replacement, starts at $425. Storm damage assessment is always free. The best way to know what your fence will cost is to call us at (469) 737-9552 for a free estimate. We will tell you what we see, what it will take to fix it, and what it will cost.

Why do fence posts lean or heave in Allen?

Allen sits on expansive clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement heaves posts up and cracks the concrete around them. A post set only in tamped soil will rack the pickets and rails within a year or two. We set posts deep in concrete collars that move with the ground, and we space them 4 to 6 feet apart depending on the fence height and wind load. A leaning fence is almost always a post problem, not a panel problem, and catching it early keeps the repair cost down.

What happens to a cedar fence in Allen's humidity?

Cedar looks beautiful when new, but Dallas humidity and the wet-then-dry clay cycle mean moisture sits at the ground line where the post meets the soil. Untreated wood rots there first. We use pressure-treated posts for the below-ground section and cedar boards above ground. Even then, a cedar fence needs cleaning and re-staining every two to three years to keep the wood sealed and protected. If you want low maintenance, vinyl is the answer.

Do I need an Allen city permit for a new fence?

Permit rules vary across the Dallas area and depend on the fence height, setback from the property line, and whether you are in a city-regulated area or unincorporated Collin County. Most Allen subdivisions are governed by HOA architectural standards, which are stricter than city codes. We verify the rules with you before we quote, and we coordinate with your HOA if approval is required. Call the City of Allen Planning Department or your HOA board if you want to confirm the rules for your lot.

What should I do if my neighbor's tree branches hang over my fence?

Tree branches that cross a property line belong to your neighbor, but you have the right to trim them back to the property line yourself or hire someone to do it. If the tree is diseased or poses a hazard, that is a conversation with your neighbor or, if needed, the City of Allen. Fence damage from a neighbor's tree is usually the neighbor's liability, but that is a matter between you and your insurance or the neighbor's. We focus on fence repair and replacement. If a tree has damaged your fence, call us at (469) 737-9552 and we will assess what needs to be fixed.

Can a vinyl fence be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

Vinyl can be repaired if a few pickets are cracked or a rail is bent, but the repair cost is often close to the cost of replacement. Vinyl does not rot or splinter, so most repairs are impact damage. We assess the damage and tell you whether repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better spend. Unlike wood, vinyl fencing rarely needs replacement due to age or weather alone.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. We are also members of the American Fence Association, which means we follow industry standards for installation and safety.

What is the best time of year to install or repair a fence in Allen?

Fence work can happen year-round in the Dallas area because the ground rarely freezes hard enough to stop digging. Spring and fall are ideal because the weather is mild and the ground is workable. Summer heat and late-summer clay heave can make post-setting tricky, but we work through it. If a storm damages your fence, we respond as quickly as we can, whatever the season. Call us at (469) 737-9552 to schedule an assessment or repair.
