# Fence Installation in Addison, TX

We install, repair and replace fences for Addison homes and businesses. The town's short ordinance decides most of the design: a permit to build or replace, 8 feet at most, nothing ahead of the front setback line, and wood finished to match the house.

## Addison's fence ordinance, line by line

Dallas Fence is registered as a fence contractor with the Town of Addison and pulls the permit for you. The rules come from Chapter 18, Article XIV of the town code, posted as a [fence ordinance PDF](https://developmentservices.addisontx.gov/files/sharedassets/devservices/v/1/documents/ordinances/ordinance_-_chapter_18_article_xiv_fences.pdf):

| Item | Addison rule |
|---|---|
| Permit | Required to build or replace a fence |
| Inspection | Called for on completion; the town issues an acceptance or a list of defects |
| Maximum height | 8 ft along any lot line, front, side or rear |
| Front yard | No fence nearer the street the house faces than the required front setback line |
| Wood finish | Stain, paint or other finish consistent with the house |

Zoning for a planned development, or an HOA, can add limits of its own; both get checked for your address when we estimate.

## Designing a fence for an Addison lot

- **Back and side privacy:** most homeowners want a solid run up to the 8-foot limit. Our [wood fence installation](https://dallasfence.co/wood-fence-installation) is built with Western Red Cedar pickets and galvanized steel posts set in concrete; picket styles and caps are on the [privacy fence](https://dallasfence.co/privacy-fence-installation) page.
- **The finish:** because the town requires one consistent with the house, [fence staining](https://dallasfence.co/fence-staining) is part of the build, not an optional extra.
- **Repairs that match:** construction must be uniform from corner post to corner post, so a [fence repair](https://dallasfence.co/fence-repair) matches the existing pickets, rails and pattern or rebuilds the section between corner posts.
- **Iron and business properties:** ornamental [iron fence](https://dallasfence.co/iron-fence-installation) is named in the residential materials list; for commercial sites, see [security fencing](https://dallasfence.co/security-fencing) and our [commercial](https://dallasfence.co/commercial) page.

An Addison quote is free and begins on site; call (469) 809-2424 or [send us your address](https://dallasfence.co/contact). We measure, check where the setback line falls and where an alley gate is needed, then put the scope in writing with each item priced: materials, posts, finish, removal, labor and permit work. The town permit and any HOA approval come first; most installs start within days of the approved estimate and take 1 to 5 days depending on size, and qualifying residential installations are covered by our [5-year workmanship warranty](https://dallasfence.co/warranty).
