Project Overview

This cedar fence repair project in Arlington, TX covered 93 linear feet of an existing board-on-board fence, with
sections running at both 6-foot and 8-foot heights. Rather than replacing the entire fence line, the project focused
on rebuilding the specific runs of cedar pickets that had reached the end of their life, while reusing the existing
posts already in place. This targeted approach kept the repair efficient without sacrificing the strength or look of the
finished fence.
The scope also included two new gates, each built with a wood frame and outfitted with new hardware, so both
access points match the quality and appearance of the newly repaired fence sections. Every job includes free
haul-away of trash and job-site debris, leaving the property clean once work is complete.

Materials and Process Behind This Cedar Fence Repair

For this cedar fence repair, A&O Texas Solutions used 1x6, 6-foot cedar pickets installed in a board-on-board
pattern, supported by 2x4 pressure-treated rails and a 2x6 pressure-treated baseboard along the base of the
fence. The two new gates were built with matching wood frames, new hardware, and widths of 3 to 4 feet,
assembled using galvanized nails and screws for long-term durability.
As with new construction, all replacement boards received a pre-dip stain finish before installation, ensuring even,
complete coverage on every new picket rather than a surface-only coat applied after the fact. Because the existing
posts were structurally sound, the project skipped full post replacement, focusing the budget and labor on the
pickets, baseboard, and gates that actually needed attention.

Why Arlington, TX Homeowners Choose Professional Fence Repair Over Full Replacement

Arlington's fence lines face plenty of wear from Texas heat, storms, and everyday use, but that doesn't mean every
fence needs full replacement. A well-planned board-on-board fence repair can extend the life of an existing fence,
restore consistent height and appearance across mixed sections, and bring failing gates back to full working order
— all at a fraction of the cost of tearing out and rebuilding from scratch.
Homeowners across Arlington and the surrounding DFW area choose a cedar fence repair like this one when they
want to:
• Replace only the worn or damaged sections of an existing fence
• Restore consistent height and appearance across mixed 6-ft and 8-ft runs
• Rebuild failing gates with new frames and hardware
• Protect new cedar boards from day one with a pre-dip stain finish
• Avoid the cost and disruption of a full fence teardown and rebuild
Because cedar is a natural material, some variation in grain and tone between older and newly replaced sections is
normal, but the pressure-treated framing, matching baseboard, and pre-dip stain finish help the repaired sections
perform — and look — like a cohesive fence line.

Project Results and Highlights

By the end of this cedar fence repair, the homeowner in Arlington, TX had 93 linear feet of refreshed
board-on-board fencing across both 6-foot and 8-foot sections, along with two newly rebuilt gates, backed by A&O
Texas Solutions' 2-year labor warranty. Free debris haul-away was included, leaving the property clean and the
fence fully functional again.
This project is a good example of how a focused cedar fence repair can solve real problems — failing pickets, worn
gates, inconsistent sections — without the cost of a full fence replacement.
