New fence installation in Plano, TX is more than a property upgrade — it’s an investment in privacy, security, and the beauty of your home. At Fence Makeovers, we specialize in cedar fencing that’s built to endure the Texas climate and enhance curb appeal. Whether you’re replacing an aging fence or building from scratch, this guide walks you through everything you need to know before you build.

In North Texas, not all wood is created equal. Cedar continues to be the premier choice among homeowners in Plano — and for good reason.

Natural Durability Meets Beauty

Cedar contains natural oils that deter insects and resist rot. Unlike pressure-treated pine, cedar doesn’t warp as easily and holds its form under extreme heat, humidity, and sudden cold snaps.

Long-Term Investment

Yes, cedar costs a bit more up front, but it pays off in longevity. A properly installed and sealed cedar fence can last 15 to 25 years, especially with maintenance and restoration options we offer at Fence Makeovers.

Know Before You Dig

Installing a fence begins long before the first post hole is dug. In Plano, city codes, utility lines, and HOA regulations matter. Our team at Fence Makeovers handles all permitting for you and ensures everything complies with:

• Plano building codes

• Utility easement boundaries

• HOA height and material restrictions

Fence placement mistakes can be expensive and frustrating. That’s why our process always starts with a free, on-site estimate.

Board-on-Board Cedar Fencing

This is the Cadillac of privacy fences. Vertical boards overlap to block all visibility and minimize gaps caused by wood shrinkage. Ideal for high-end neighborhoods and discerning homeowners.

Horizontal Slat Cedar Fencing

For a modern, upscale aesthetic, horizontal fencing provides clean lines and a bold statement. Customization options include black metal posts and custom stain finishes.

Traditional Side-by-Side Fencing

Affordable, clean, and reliable. This fence design is a great option for budget-conscious homeowners who want durability with a classic look.

From triple-digit summers to icy winters, Plano’s climate demands strategic construction. At Fence Makeovers, our new fence installations are engineered for endurance.

Steel Posts vs. Wood Posts

We recommend steel posts encased in cedar trim. These prevent rot at ground level and provide a 30–50 year lifespan. They also help maintain alignment during shifting weather conditions.

Post Hole Depth and Concrete Setting

We set posts a minimum of 24 inches deep with concrete footings to anchor your fence for decades — not just years.

Sealing and Staining

A new fence without stain is like a home without paint. We offer pre-staining and post-install staining options in rich cedar tones that bring out the grain while protecting the wood from UV damage and moisture.

Our team follows a meticulous and transparent process from start to finish:

1. On-Site Consultation and Quote

We visit your home, inspect the property, check your existing fence (if any), and provide a clear, detailed 21 day written quote.

2. Demolition and Cleanup

If you’re replacing an old fence, we remove all debris and ensure the yard is clean before we start building.

3. Installation and Craftsmanship

Fence posts are installed first, then rails, followed by the cedar planks. All hardware and fasteners are corrosion-resistant and chosen to match the style of your fence.
