Project Overview

This project in Arlington, TX covered 92 linear feet of an existing 6-foot cedar fence, with the boards, cap, and trim
all replaced to bring the fence line back to a like-new condition. Because the existing posts were still structurally
sound, the project didn't require new posts, keeping the scope focused and efficient. A new gate was also installed
as part of the same project, matching the rebuilt fence in style and finish.
As with every A&O Texas Solutions project, this fence rebuild included free haul-away of trash and job-site debris,
so the homeowner was left with a clean, finished fence line and nothing extra to manage on their end.

Materials and Process Behind This Cedar Fence Rebuild

This project used 1x6, 6-foot cedar pickets in a board-on-board pattern, supported by 2x4 pressure-treated rails
and a 2x6 pressure-treated baseboard. The fence was finished with 2x6 cedar caps and 1x4 cedar trim along the
top, restoring the cap-and-trim detailing that gives this style of fence its finished, upscale look. The new gate was
built with a matching wood frame, a 3 to 4-foot width, and new hardware for smooth, reliable operation.
Once the new boards, cap, trim, and gate were in place, the entire fence line received a fresh stain finish, giving
the rebuilt sections a uniform, cohesive appearance. By reusing the existing posts rather than replacing them, the
project delivered a like-new fence at a lower cost and faster timeline than a full teardown-and-rebuild.

Why Arlington, TX Homeowners Choose Board and Cap Replacement Over Full Rebuilds

When a fence's posts are still in good shape but the boards, cap, and trim have deteriorated from years of Texas
sun and weather, replacing just those components is often the most cost-effective way to restore a fence's strength
and appearance. This approach avoids the extra cost and labor of removing and resetting posts that don't actually
need to be replaced.
Homeowners across Arlington and the surrounding DFW area choose a board and cap replacement project like
this one when they want to:
• Rebuild a worn fence line without the cost of replacing sound existing posts
• Restore cap-and-trim detailing to its original, finished appearance
• Add a new gate to match the rebuilt fence
• Apply a fresh stain finish across the entire fence line for a cohesive look
• Complete a major fence refresh on an efficient timeline
Because cedar is a natural material, some variation in grain and tone is normal, but a fresh stain finish across
newly rebuilt boards, cap, and trim gives a fence line a cohesive, like-new appearance.

Project Results and Highlights

By the end of this project, the homeowner in Arlington, TX had 92 linear feet of rebuilt cedar board-on-board fence
with fresh cap and trim detailing, a new gate, and a full stain finish, all backed by A&O Texas Solutions' 2-year
labor warranty. Free debris haul-away was included, leaving the property clean and the fence looking like new.
This project is a good example of how replacing boards, cap, and trim — while reusing sound existing posts — can
deliver a like-new fence line without the cost of a full teardown and rebuild
