Fence & Gate Company in Allen, TX

A new fence begins with a few basic questions: which property boundaries it should follow, whether the main goal is privacy or simply enclosing the yard, and how the fence will work with the way the yard is used day to day. Gate openings get placed during layout, not after, so paths to the side yard and back patio stay convenient. Our fence installation page walks through how new projects are planned.

Many Allen back yards call for a wood privacy fence, with cedar a common pick for its natural look. Height and board style change how screened the yard feels, while existing trees and beds may shift where the line runs. Gates should tie into the fence cleanly so the whole run reads as one piece. Construction details vary with the site and the fence itself rather than following a single formula. For more detail, see our Allen wood privacy fence installation guide.

Fence damage is often limited to one area — cracked or missing boards, a rail pulling loose, a section starting to lean, or a post that has moved. Fencing next to gates usually sees the most wear. Localized damage is often worth repairing; damage spread along much of the fence may make replacement the better call. Learn more on our fence repair page, or see our Allen fence repair services.

A driveway gate has to suit the entrance it closes. We look at the driveway layout, the width of the opening, whether there's room for a swing or sliding path, how the gate meets the adjoining fence line, and any landscaping, columns, or masonry already in place. Explore gate installation, driveway gates, and sliding gates for more on entrance options, or see our guide to driveway gate installation in Allen.

An operator can power a new gate or, often, an existing gate that already moves smoothly. How people get in is a separate choice — remotes, a keypad, or an intercom or other entry system, depending on who uses the gate. See automatic gates and access control for details, and gate repair if an automated gate has stopped behaving normally.

Existing gates can develop problems over time: dragging or sticking, drifting out of alignment, worn hinges or latches, or strain caused by the surrounding fence shifting. On powered gates, symptoms like stalling or inconsistent movement may relate to the operator. Our gate repair page covers how these issues are looked at, and for gates used mainly by the household, our residential gates page is a useful reference.

Before work starts, it helps to know where your property boundaries are — a survey can help where lines are unclear. Think about side-yard access, landscaping you want protected, any existing fence that will stay or go, and where gate openings belong. If your home is in an HOA, its guidelines may apply, and City of Allen requirements may apply depending on the project. Homeowners should verify those requirements themselves before scheduling work.

We serve properties throughout Allen, including areas around Twin Creeks, Bethany Lakes, and Watters Crossing. We also work in neighboring Collin County communities.
