Custom Fence Installation FAQs
Q: What types of fences do you install?
A: As a trusted Allen fence company, we offer a wide variety of custom options to suit your home. We specialize in professional installation of cedar, pine, and spruce, as well as wrought-iron fences, decorative gates, automatic entry gates, and retaining walls. Whether you’re looking for more privacy, better security, or just want to boost your curb appeal, we build every fence to perfectly fit your property.
Q: What are the benefits of a cedar fence?
A: Cedar is a favorite choice here Collin County and North Dallas because it naturally stands up to rot, pests, and warping. Beyond its durability, cedar has a warm, timeless look that only improves with age. We use premium materials for every installation to ensure your fence stays beautiful with minimal upkeep.
Q: How long does it take to complete a fence project?
A: Most of our residential fence installations take about 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of the project and the weather. As a custom fence builder, we’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Q: How much stain do you use on fences?
A: We never cut corners on stain. Every fence gets exactly the right amount needed for a durable, high-quality finish. On average, a new board-on-board cedar fence takes about a gallon for every 90 square feet, while side-by-side fences cover about 100 square feet per gallon. Unless you prefer something else, we use Bakers Gray Away products from Texas Wood Products for consistent, long-lasting results.
Q: Is it normal to have different shades of color in cedar?
A: Yes, that’s completely normal! Since wood is a natural material, variations in the tree’s age and grain create unique patterns and color tones. These natural differences are actually one of the reasons cedar fences look so distinctive and beautiful.
Q: What is the life expectancy of the fences you build?
A: When properly maintained, a wood fence with metal posts can last 15 to 20 years or more. As a custom fence contractor, we focus on high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure your fence delivers strength, security, and long-term value.
