A fence contractor that knows Allen.
Allen blends established neighborhoods like Twin Creeks and Watters Crossing with new development pushing north toward Ridgeview Drive and SH 121. The common thread across all of it is weather: hail and straight-line winds off the prairie are the main fence killers here. After every big spring storm we are out from Bethany Road to Exchange Parkway repairing leaning sections, replacing stripped pickets, and re-hanging gates that the wind tore loose.

Fencing in Allen: what local conditions demand
Allen sits in prime hail and wind country. A fence on a corner lot or backing to open space near US 75 takes the full force of spring cells, and builder-grade construction with shallow posts and face-nailed pickets is exactly what fails first. We build replacement fences with deeper concrete footings and screwed pickets, and on the most exposed runs we recommend board-on-board or shadowbox styles that let wind pass through.
The clay soil across Allen swells and shrinks with the seasons, which works posts loose over time. Steel posts are the most effective upgrade against that slow lean, and we offer them on every wood fence we build.
HOA standards are strict in communities like Twin Creeks and Starcreek, covering fence height, approved materials, and stain colors. We build to those standards as a matter of routine, and we can provide the drawings and details most architectural committees ask for.

Allen fence FAQs.
In most cases, yes. We repair leaning sections, replace missing or broken pickets, reset posts, and rebuild gates after wind and hail damage. We will also give you an honest assessment when replacement is the better value.
Board-on-board and shadowbox cedar styles handle wind better than solid face-nailed fences because air can pass through. Ornamental iron is the most wind-resistant option of all and is popular on corner lots and open exposures.
Yes. Most Allen HOAs specify approved materials, maximum heights, and acceptable stain colors, and many require a written approval before work starts. We build to these requirements and help with the submittal.
We recommend it. Stain protects cedar from the intense Texas sun and slows moisture cycling that leads to warping and cracking. Let the wood acclimate a few weeks after installation, then stain.
