Roof Replacement FAQ

How long does fence installation take?

Most residential fences (150-200 linear feet) are installed in 1-3 days depending on terrain, access, and complexity.

Do I need a permit for a new fence?

Requirements vary by city. Many DFW municipalities require permits for fences over 4 feet. We advise on local requirements.

How deep should fence posts be set?

Standard practice is one-third of total post length in ground — typically 2 feet for a 6-foot fence. Posts are set in concrete for stability.

Will you remove my old fence?

Yes. Removal and disposal of existing fencing is included in replacement projects.

How long do wood fences last?

Cedar fences: 15-20 years. Pressure-treated pine: 10-15 years. Proper maintenance (staining every 2-3 years) extends lifespan.

Can you match my existing fence for repairs?

We match materials and style as closely as possible. Weathering differences between new and old wood even out over time.

What's the difference between dog-ear and board-on-board?

Dog-ear is standard privacy fence with boards side-by-side. Board-on-board overlaps boards on alternating sides of rails, eliminating gaps and providing complete privacy from any angle.

Do you build custom fences?

We focus on standard residential wood fence styles. For highly custom designs, we can recommend specialized fence contractors.
