Fencing in McKinney
A Local Crew for McKinney Fence Projects
Whether you’re closing in a backyard for the first time, replacing a fence that’s leaning or rotting, or refreshing weathered wood with stain, we scope the project clearly and handle the work so you’re not left managing the crew.
Cedar privacy
Cedar Privacy Fencing in McKinney
Cedar is TrueSet’s preferred premium wood-fence material for North Texas conditions. We prefer it for its appearance and dimensional stability. The wood grade, moisture condition, installation, and maintenance also affect how a fence performs. We install cedar privacy fences in side-by-side and board-on-board construction, at 6′ or 8′ heights, with gates matched to the run.
Board-on-board
Board-on-Board Cedar for Added Privacy
Board-on-board construction overlaps pickets to improve screening as the wood moves. It uses more material than side-by-side and provides a more layered appearance. Privacy still depends on the specified overlap, installation, and condition of the fence; it is not a promise that wood will never move or need maintenance.
Iron fencing
Iron Fencing in McKinney
Not every McKinney property needs a solid privacy wall. Ornamental iron fencing is a strong choice for front yards, perimeters, and decorative runs where you want to define the property and add curb appeal without blocking sightlines. We handle new iron installations, replacement of damaged or aging sections, and walk and double-swing gates.
Replacement
Fence Replacement in McKinney
Replacement may be appropriate when deterioration or damage is widespread, or when the proposed fence needs a different layout or design. A localized problem should be assessed before assuming that all runs need rebuilding. We handle tear-out, haul-away, post evaluation, and the new installation as one scoped project, so there are no surprises once the crew arrives.
Staining & restoration
Fence Restoration & Staining in McKinney
Staining brings out the wood’s color and adds a layer of protection against McKinney’s sun and moisture. We treat staining as its own service — pressure washing, surface prep, and stain application done properly, normally across at least two visits because the wood has to dry after washing before stain goes on. Weather can extend that schedule, and we won’t rush it.
Gates
Walk Gates & Double-Swing Gates
A gate that sags or drags six months after install is a failure, not a finish. We address gate hardware, bracing, and alignment up front so the gate keeps working through everyday use and North Texas weather. Walk gates handle foot traffic; double-swing gates open wide enough for equipment, trailers, or larger yard gear.
Walk gates. Single-person gates built and braced to keep working, with hardware chosen for everyday use.
Double-swing gates. Wider gates for equipment and trailer access, hung and aligned to stay plumb.
Automatic gate operators are not offered. Explore manual gate installation and repair.
Repairs
Fence Repair in McKinney
A damaged board, leaning section, or dragging gate does not always require a complete replacement. Send photos of the affected components and the adjoining fence so we can review the structure and the proposed repair. The recommendation and price depend on the condition and scope.

Permits & HOA
McKinney Fence Permits & HOA Considerations
If you’re planning fence work in McKinney, here’s what to know about City of McKinney requirements. In most cases, TrueSet is able to handle the permit and HOA approval process for you — we’ll confirm what applies to your project before installation.
- A new residential fence in McKinney requires a fence permit.
- Changes to an existing fence’s height, location, or material also require a permit.
- If none of those three things change, the work may qualify as a repair that does not require a fence permit.
- The permit application requires a site plan showing property lines, fence location, height, material, builder, and house location.
- Rear-yard fences may generally be up to 8 feet 6 inches in height.
- Front-yard fences may generally be up to 48 inches and must be at least 50% open.
- Pool and spa barriers have additional requirements beyond standard fence rules.
- HOA deed restrictions or covenants may impose requirements beyond City of McKinney building code.
TrueSet doesn’t guarantee permit or HOA approval. Requirements can change, and individual HOAs may impose rules beyond City of McKinney building code. We’ll help you understand what’s likely to apply and submit the right documentation when applicable — but we won’t promise an outcome we don’t control. For a fuller walkthrough of the HOA side, see our HOA fence approval guide.
Pricing
What Affects Fence Pricing in McKinney
Your project price reflects the actual scope. Compare these factors before comparing proposal totals:
- Total fence length and layout

- Construction style — side-by-side vs. board-on-board
- Number and type of gates (walk vs. double-swing)
- Tear-out, haul-off, and disposal of an existing fence
- How many existing posts need replacement
- Ground conditions and site access
- City of McKinney permit and HOA requirements

The calculator gives a planning range, not a final quote. Measurements, site conditions, and the written scope must be confirmed. Our wood fence cost guide explains the factors and illustrative budgeting examples.

Questions before you start
McKinney Fence Questions
When does McKinney require a fence permit?
The city requires a permit for a new fence or a change to an existing fence’s height, location, or material. Its guidance treats work with none of those changes as a repair that does not need a fence permit. Confirm your scope and any pool or HOA requirements with the relevant authority.
Should I choose board-on-board or side-by-side fencing?
Board-on-board overlaps the pickets to improve screening as the wood moves. Side-by-side uses less material and is generally the simpler construction option. Compare height, wood, posts, gates, and finish as well as picket style; neither style removes the need for maintenance.
Can I keep some existing posts when replacing a fence?
Possibly, but reuse is subject to inspection and the new design. Post condition, alignment, spacing, and support need to suit the intended fence. The proposal should identify which components stay and which are replaced rather than promise reuse from a distant photograph.
Can I get a McKinney fence estimate without a home visit?
You can start online with approximate footage, fence options, and photos. A contactless review may be possible when enough information is available. Measurements, access, removal, and site conditions still need to be confirmed before the planning range becomes a final quote.
Do you install automatic gates in McKinney?
No. The services described here cover walk gates and manual double-swing gates. Send the opening dimensions, intended use, and available swing space so the manual gate, supports, hardware, and adjoining fence can be reviewed together.
