McKinney's historic downtown and fast-growing subdivisions sit on Collin County's wide, expansive clay lots, where HOA rules shape everything from fence height to material and color. When a fence leans, sags, or fails on a McKinney property, the culprit is almost always the posts, not the panels, because our clay swells and shrinks with every wet-dry cycle, heaving and racking posts set years ago.

Dallas Fencing has served McKinney and the surrounding Dallas area since 2012. We install new fences, repair storm damage, replace failing posts, and build gates that work right. Our team is fully insured, and we're AFA Member Installers with the American Fence Association. When you call (469) 737-9552, you reach the same crew who will show up and do the work, not a call center or franchise dispatcher.

McKinney's housing stock ranges from historic bungalows near the square to newer master-planned subdivisions where cedar and vinyl standards are written into the deed restrictions. Most lots are generous, and many have pools. The real challenge is the soil. Collin County's expansive clay is unforgiving on fence posts. Posts set in tamped earth alone will heave and lean within a few years. Posts set in concrete fare better, but even concrete-set posts can rack when the clay moves, especially if they're spaced too far apart or installed stepped instead of racked on a slope. Add our humidity, and untreated wood rots at the ground line. A vinyl fence won't rot, but a leaning post is a leaning post, whatever the panel material.

We've been installing and repairing wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and ornamental iron fencing across McKinney and the Dallas area for over a decade. We know the soil, the codes, and the HOA rules that apply to your neighborhood. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. Before we dig post holes, we call 811 for a utility locate, as Texas law requires.

How a Fence Job Works in McKinney

You call us at (469) 737-9552 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your property in McKinney. We walk the fence line, look at the soil, the slope, any existing posts, and the condition of the panels. If there's an HOA, we discuss what the rules allow. We measure, ask what you want, and give you an honest estimate. If a repair will hold and save you money, we say so. If replacement is the better spend, we explain why and quote it both ways.

Once you approve, we schedule the work. On the day of the job, our crew arrives with the materials and tools. We call 811 for a utility locate if we're digging new post holes. We set posts in concrete at the depth and spacing your fence needs. We install panels, rails, and stringers plumb and square. If it's a gate, we hang it, set the hinges, and test the latch and swing. If there's a slope, we rack the panels so they follow the ground and stay square to the posts. On tight lots or in subdivisions where access is narrow, we plan the work to fit. We clean up as we go, haul away scrap and old materials, and do a final walkthrough with you before we leave.

Fence costs in McKinney depend on material, length, post spacing, soil conditions, and whether you're repairing or replacing. Chain link runs from $15 per linear foot. Wood and privacy fence starts at $29 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC start at $40 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron start at $44 per linear foot. A single fence post repair or replacement starts at $425. Storm damage assessment is free. A gate installation or repair starts at $460. An automatic driveway gate starts at $2,900. A full fence replacement or removal starts at $2,500. These are starting prices. The final cost depends on the specifics of your property, the soil, the slope, and what you choose. Call us at (469) 737-9552 for a free estimate. We'll walk your lot, listen to what you want, and give you a real number.

Why does my fence lean even though the panels look fine?

McKinney's expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Posts set in tamped earth alone will heave and lean over time. Even posts set in concrete can rack if the clay moves or if they're spaced too far apart. The panel is usually fine. The post is the problem. We can often repair this by resetting the leaning post in new concrete, sometimes adding anti-sag bracing to the rails. If the post is rotted at the ground line, we replace it. Either way, we fix the post, not the panel.

A storm knocked down part of my fence. What do I do?

Call us at (469) 737-9552 right away. We offer a free damage assessment. We'll look at what failed, why it failed, and what it costs to put it right. We can help you document the damage for an insurance claim if you have coverage. We then give you a quote to repair or replace the damaged section. Storm repair is our work. We'll get you back in service quickly and honestly.

My HOA has rules about fence height and color. Do you know McKinney's rules?

Yes. McKinney's master-planned subdivisions have deed restrictions and HOA architectural standards that govern fence height, material, and color. The city also has setback and corner-visibility rules. We know them. When you call for an estimate, ask about your HOA and neighborhood rules, and we'll verify what applies to your lot. You're responsible for getting HOA approval before we start, and we'll help you understand what's allowed.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in McKinney?

Permit requirements vary by location in the Dallas area. Some jurisdictions require a permit for all fences. Others require one only above a certain height or for certain materials. The McKinney Building Department and your HOA (if you have one) set the rules for your property. We recommend calling the city or checking your deed restrictions before you commit to a design. We can help you understand what the rules say, but the final call is with the city and your HOA.

What's the difference between a fence set in concrete and one set in tamped earth?

A post set in concrete is anchored deeper and more solidly than one set in tamped earth alone. In McKinney's clay, concrete-set posts hold much better over time. Tamped earth alone will settle and shift as the clay moves. We set posts in concrete as the standard. Concrete costs more upfront but saves you money and hassle down the road. On a replacement or major repair, it's always the right choice.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We're an AFA Member Installer with the American Fence Association. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. When you hire us, you're working with a fully insured, professional crew.

My cedar fence looks dull and weathered. Can you clean and stain it?

Yes. Cedar fences in McKinney's humidity need cleaning and re-staining every two to three years to stay protected and look good. We offer fence staining and restoration starting at $900. We clean the surface, let it dry, and apply a quality stain that protects the wood and brings back the color. It's much cheaper than replacing the fence, and it keeps your cedar looking sharp.
