About Allen Fence Installation
A fencing contractor that works one county and quotes every job in writing.
How We Ended Up Building Fences in Allen
Allen Fence Installation exists because of a pattern anyone in this trade sees over and over in Collin County: a fence goes up fast, looks fine for two springs, and then starts to wander. The cause is almost never the lumber. It is a post set too shallow in soil that moves more than most of the country's does, a footing that was tamped instead of poured, and a quote that never explained what was being skipped to hit the number. We built this company around the opposite approach, which is to measure the property, write down exactly what goes into the ground, and price it once.
Working a single county is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation. Allen, Plano, McKinney, Fairview, Lucas and the cities around them share a soil profile, a storm season and a set of permit offices, and knowing all three intimately changes how a fence gets built. We know the height limits and the corner visibility triangles. We know which subdivisions want an architectural drawing before a post goes in. We know what a July with no rain does to clay that soaked all spring, and we drill accordingly.
What the company stands for today is fairly simple and fairly old-fashioned. The estimate is itemized and it is honest. The crew on your property works for us. The permit gets filed, the utilities get located, the old fence leaves on our trailer, and the warranty is a document you hold rather than a sentence somebody said in a driveway. When a repair will do the job, we say so, even though the replacement pays better. That is the business, and it has been enough to keep the calendar full.
What We Are Trying to Do Here
Our aim is to make buying a fence in Allen an ordinary, low-anxiety transaction. That means a clear written price with nothing hidden inside it, a schedule we actually hold, paperwork handled on your behalf, and workmanship that does not need excuses in year three.
We would rather be the contractor a neighbor names without hesitating than the one that quoted lowest. Every decision we make about crews, materials and post depth follows from that, which is why we quote what a fence genuinely costs to build correctly and explain exactly where the money goes.
Six Reasons Collin County Homeowners Hire Us
The price is written down first
Material, posts, concrete, gates, tear-out, haul-away and permit fees each appear as their own line on your estimate. That document is the price. Nothing gets added on install day, because the property was measured before the number was written.
Permits and HOA approval are our job
The City of Allen requires a permit for new and replacement fencing, and most local associations want an architectural drawing on top of it. We prepare and submit both, and coordinate the inspection. You are not asked to manage the bureaucracy for work we are doing.
Posts are set for Texas clay
Blackland Prairie clay swells and shrinks harder than most soils in the country, and that movement is what takes fences down here. We drill past the minimum depth, bell the base of the hole, and set every post in concrete. It costs more and it is the entire reason our lines stay plumb.
In-house crews only
Nobody gets subcontracted. The person who measured your yard and the crew standing up your fence answer to the same company, so accountability never gets handed off and the walkthrough actually resolves things.
Every material, one contractor
Wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, ornamental iron and chain link all come from the same visit and the same estimate. A yard that needs cedar on the back line and a 48-inch pool barrier on the side gets one crew and one schedule, not three.
Storm response across Collin County
Spring brings straight-line winds off the prairie, and we structure the calendar to absorb the repair calls that follow. Damage is photographed and documented for your insurer at no charge, whether or not you hire us for the rebuild.
