Why fences here lean, sag and fade

Fence repair in McKinney usually comes down to three things: posts that lean after the clay soil swells and shrinks around them, gates that sag and drag, and cedar that turned gray and split after a few summers without stain. We reset or replace posts in concrete, replace broken pickets and rails, rehang gates so they latch, and clean and stain the whole run so it lasts. Call (972) 439-9694 for an estimate, backed by our one-year written workmanship guarantee.

The standard backyard fence across Collin County is six-foot cedar, often board-on-board with a top cap, along with ornamental iron on pool and golf course lots. Cedar handles our heat better than pine, but unprotected boards bleach and check fast in full Texas sun, and spring storms push over sections whose posts have already loosened. Most neighborhoods in McKinney, Frisco and Prosper also have HOA rules on fence height, style and stain color, so a repair has to match what is already there.

Our fence services include repairs, new cedar, chain-link, vinyl and decorative fences, posts set in concrete, gate and latch installation, power washing and staining, and repainting iron fences.

What we fix

Fence repairs we handle

01

Leaning posts

Posts that have loosened in the clay are reset or replaced and set in concrete so the section stands straight again.

02

Broken pickets and rails

Split, warped and storm-damaged pickets and rails replaced with matching boards.

03

Sagging gates

Gates rebuilt or rehung with stronger hinges, anti-sag hardware and new latches so they close on their own.

04

Staining and sealing

Fences power washed, allowed to dry and stained in a color that matches your HOA’s approved list.

05

Iron fence repainting

Rusted ornamental iron cleaned, primed and repainted, and loose panels reattached.

06

Storm damage

Sections blown over in spring storms rebuilt to match the rest of the fence.

Stain is the cheapest thing you can do for a cedar fence

Cedar resists rot, but Texas sun breaks down the surface of the wood and dries it out, which is what turns it gray and opens the cracks that let water in. A good semi-transparent stain blocks most of that UV and slows the drying. We clean the fence first so the stain soaks in rather than sitting on dirt and mildew, then apply it evenly to both faces where you want them done. Most fences here look best and last longest when they are restained every few years.

    A written estimate

    You get a written estimate that separates repairs, staining and any new sections.

Materials

Fence types we work with

01

Cedar

The most common privacy fence here. Side-by-side or board-on-board, usually with a top cap and trim.

02

Ornamental iron

Common on pool, greenbelt and golf course lots where the HOA wants an open view. Needs repainting as rust starts.

03

Vinyl

No stain needed and does not rot, though it can crack in hail and needs washing.

04

Chain-link

An economical choice for side yards, dog runs and utility areas.

Cost

What affects the cost of fence work

01

Number of posts

Resetting a few posts costs much less than rebuilding a full run.

02

Linear feet

Staining and new fence are mostly priced by length and height.

03

Style

Board-on-board with a cap and trim uses more lumber and labor than a plain side-by-side fence.

04

Condition of the wood

Very weathered fences need more cleaning and more stain to look even.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fix just a few leaning posts?
Yes. We reset or replace individual posts and set them in concrete without rebuilding the whole fence.
How often should a cedar fence be stained?
In full North Texas sun, most cedar fences need restaining every few years to keep them from graying and splitting. Shaded sections last longer.
Can you match my HOA’s stain color?
Yes. Tell us your HOA’s approved color or send the guidelines, and we use a matching stain.
Do I need a permit for a new fence?
Many cities require a permit for new fences, and your HOA may need to approve the style and height first. We confirm what your project needs before work starts.
Can you fix a gate that drags?
Yes. We square the gate, add stronger hinges or anti-sag hardware, and adjust the latch so it closes properly.
Do you repaint iron fences?
Yes. We clean off rust, prime and repaint ornamental iron fences and gates.
Do you install new fences?
Yes. We install cedar, chain-link, vinyl and decorative fences.
Can you stain only my side of the fence?
Yes. Shared fences are often stained on the homeowner’s side only.
Is fence work covered by your guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed in writing for one year from the invoice date. If a defect in our work appears in that time, we repair it free of charge under the terms of your agreement.
