Fence Repair & Replacement in Allen, TX
Storm damage, leaning posts and failed sections repaired across Allen, Plano, McKinney and Wylie.
Repair What Can Be Saved, Replace What Cannot
Fence repair in Allen comes in two flavors, and they arrive in very different moods. The first is slow: a line that has been drifting out of plumb for two or three seasons as the Blackland clay swells and shrinks under it, boards graying and a gate that has started to scrape. The second is sudden, usually a spring storm coming across the prairie with straight-line winds that lay down sixty feet of fence in an afternoon. Allen Fence Installation handles both, and the first thing we do in either case is tell you honestly what is still structurally sound. Plenty of fences we look at need three posts reset and a dozen boards swapped rather than a full replacement, and we say so, because a company that quotes a teardown on every visit is not assessing anything. When the line genuinely is past saving, with rot through the posts, rails pulling out along the whole run, or a fence that predates the current owner by a decade, we will show you why instead of asserting it.
What We Repair and Replace
The assessment is free, and it produces a written scope that separates what must be done from what can wait.
- 01
Full-line structural assessment
We check every post for movement and rot at the soil line, test the rails, look at the fasteners, and inspect the gate posts, then mark what has failed and what is sound.
- 02
Leaning post resets
A post that has tipped in shifting clay is pulled, the old footing is dug out, the hole is drilled deeper and belled, and a new post is set in fresh concrete rather than braced and left.
- 03
Rotted post replacement
Wood posts nearly always fail at the ground line first. We replace the failed post, and where it makes sense we swap to a galvanized steel post so it does not happen again in the same spot.
- 04
Storm and wind damage rebuilds
Sections flattened by straight-line winds are rebuilt to match the existing run, with the framing checked either side of the damage where the wind stressed but did not break it.
- 05
Insurance claim documentation
We photograph the damage, write up the scope in a form that adjusters accept, and provide an itemized estimate you can submit directly. We do not charge for that paperwork.
- 06
Board and picket replacement
Cracked, split, rotted or warped boards are swapped individually, matched as closely as available material allows, with an honest word about how long the new boards take to weather in.
- 07
Rail repair and reinforcement
Sagging or pulled rails are refastened or replaced, and extra rails can be added where an under-built original fence is bowing between the posts.
- 08
Gate repair and realignment
Dragging gates get diagnosed properly, whether the cause is post movement, frame racking or failed hardware, and the actual cause gets fixed rather than the hinge being shimmed one more time.
- 09
Section replacement matched to the existing fence
When part of a run is replaced, we match height, picket style, rail count and spacing so the repair does not read as a patch from the street.
- 10
Full teardown and rebuild
Where replacement is the right call, the old fence and its footings come out completely and the new line is built from scratch, permitted and warrantied as a new installation.
- 11
Debris removal
Broken panels, snapped posts, old concrete and the nails scattered through the grass all leave on our trailer, with a magnet sweep over the work area afterward.
- 12
Written scope with a repair-versus-replace recommendation
You get both numbers where both are viable, plus our recommendation and the reasoning behind it, so the choice is genuinely yours.
How a Repair Job Runs
We come look at it
Photographs help, but a fence has to be pushed on to be understood. We walk the full run, check every post, and identify whether the problem is localized or systemic. You get an honest verdict and a written scope, not a sales pitch.
Scope, claim and schedule
If insurance is involved we document everything and give you an estimate the adjuster can work from. Repairs are usually quicker to schedule than new installations because the material is standard and the permit requirements are lighter. Storm season is the exception, and we tell you where you sit in the queue rather than promising a date we cannot hold.
Fix it and clean it up
Failed posts are pulled and reset in concrete, damaged sections are rebuilt, gates are re-hung and adjusted, and all the debris leaves. On a post reset we return once the concrete has cured to re-hang the panels properly rather than rushing them back on the same day.
Why the Repair Call Is Worth Making First
We will talk you out of a replacement
A great many of the fences we are asked to replace need a few posts reset and some boards swapped. Saying so costs us the larger job and earns the next one, which is a trade we are happy to make. You will get the replacement number too, so you can see both.
The cause gets fixed, not the symptom
Bracing a leaning post or shimming a dragging gate buys a season at most. We find what actually moved, whether that is the footing, the frame or the hardware, and correct it, which is why our repairs do not come back.
Storm work documented for the adjuster
Wind damage claims move faster with clear photographs and an itemized, professionally written scope. We produce that as part of the estimate at no cost, whether or not you end up hiring us for the rebuild.
