Best Fence Companies in Dallas-Fort Worth (2026)

Texas Select Fencing is our pick for the best fence company in Dallas-Fort Worth in 2026. They build wood, wrought iron, chain link, and farm and ranch fencing, take on commercial projects and custom gates, and cover both sides of the metroplex from their Dallas base - a bigger deal than it sounds, because plenty of good crews will not cross town for a residential job. Five more companies made the list below, and every one of them can build a fence that outlives its warranty if you hire them the right way.

Building a fence here comes with local rules that out-of-town advice ignores. North Texas sits on expansive clay that swells when it rains and shrinks hard through August, so post depth is everything: a post set 24 inches deep starts leaning within a few seasons, while a 32- to 36-inch hole with a full concrete collar stays plumb. Spring storms add wind load that flattens bargain fences built with thin-walled posts and two rails instead of three. And if you live in an HOA neighborhood - which describes most of the newer metro - the rules probably require cedar pickets at a set height, often board-on-board, which is the default DFW look anyway.

We pulled these six companies from our Dallas fence company directory and our Fort Worth directory. Here is how the ranking works.

How we pick: our rankings weigh verified business details, service range, and each company's public track record. Featured partners are verified paid members of Fence Certified and are marked as such - placement never changes the facts we report. Every company below is independently listed in our Dallas and Fort Worth directories.

1. Texas Select Fencing

Verified featured partner

Best for: Best overall in Dallas-Fort Worth

Texas Select Fencing takes the top spot on range and reach. The company is based in Dallas and works both sides of the metroplex - Dallas, Fort Worth, and the suburbs in between - building wood privacy fences, wrought iron, chain link, and farm and ranch fencing, along with custom gates and commercial projects. That spread matters more than most homeowners realize. A shop that fabricates wrought iron and welded gates in-house has to know how to set a dead-straight post line, and a company that takes commercial work has to carry the insurance and scheduling discipline that residential-only outfits sometimes let slide.

For the typical DFW project - a board-on-board cedar privacy fence with a drive gate or a walk gate - the full-service model means one contractor handles the wood runs, the steel posts, and the gate fabrication instead of subbing pieces out to whoever is available that week. Property owners on the metro edges can get farm and ranch fencing from the same crew that builds the backyard, and businesses can use them for commercial perimeter work. Fewer handoffs means fewer things sag later.

Get the full picture on their website or on their Fence Certified profile, or call (214) 677-9182 for a quote. Tell them what your HOA requires up front, and ask about steel posts - in this clay, that is the upgrade worth paying for.

2. Buzz Custom Fence

Best for: Widest range of fence types in Fort Worth

Buzz Custom Fence covers just about every material a Fort Worth homeowner could ask for: wood, chain link, vinyl, aluminum, wrought iron, farm and ranch, pool fencing, custom gates, commercial work, and repairs. That breadth is genuinely useful if you have not settled on a material yet - one estimator can walk your property line and price cedar against vinyl against aluminum in a single visit. Pool fencing is worth flagging too: barrier rules govern height, gap spacing, and self-latching gates, and you want a company that installs to those rules routinely rather than figuring it out on your job. Call 817-263-9788 or see their Fence Certified profile.

3. Dallas Fence

Best for: Aluminum and pool fencing on the Dallas side

Dallas Fence works the east side of the metro with wood, chain link, aluminum, wrought iron, farm and ranch, pool fencing, gates, and repair service. Aluminum is the quiet star of that lineup: it gives you the wrought iron look without the rust maintenance, and it is the most common pick for pool enclosures because the panel spacing meets barrier requirements cleanly. Their repair service matters here too - if spring winds racked your cedar fence, a crew that resets leaning posts and swaps broken rails can save you from a full rebuild. Call (469) 809-2424 or see their Fence Certified profile.

4. Magnolia Fence & Patio

Best for: Vinyl privacy fencing and commercial jobs in Fort Worth

Magnolia Fence & Patio runs a broad Fort Worth operation: wood, chain link, vinyl, wrought iron, farm and ranch, pool fencing, gates, commercial projects, and repairs. Vinyl deserves a serious look in North Texas - it shrugs off the wet-dry cycles that torture wood, never needs stain, and rinses clean with a hose - and Magnolia is one of the Fort Worth shops on this list that installs it alongside traditional cedar. They also take commercial work, so a property manager and a homeowner can hire the same contractor and get the same crew discipline. Call 817-995-7467 or see their Fence Certified profile.

5. Rowley Fence

Best for: Farm and ranch fencing around Fort Worth

Rowley Fence handles the full residential lineup - wood, chain link, aluminum, wrought iron, pool fencing, gates, and repairs - plus commercial and farm and ranch work. That last category counts for a lot west and south of Fort Worth, where lots turn into acreage fast. Pasture fencing is a different trade than backyard cedar: longer runs, braced corner assemblies, and gates sized for trucks and trailers instead of people. A company that does both can fence the yard and the horse lot in one mobilization, which usually beats hiring two contractors. Call (682) 610-8120 or see their Fence Certified profile.

6. King of Kings Fence

Best for: Wood fences and repair work in Dallas

King of Kings Fence keeps a tighter menu - wood, chain link, wrought iron, farm and ranch, gates, and repairs - and that is not a knock. Wood installs and repair calls are the bread and butter of Dallas fencing, and a focused crew often beats a stretched one on the fundamentals: straight lines, deep posts, gates that still latch next year. If your cedar fence is leaning but the pickets are sound, a repair-friendly shop like this is the right first call before anyone talks you into full replacement. Reach them at 469-258-9458 or see their Fence Certified profile.

How to choose between them

Get at least three quotes. Prices for the same cedar fence routinely spread 30 percent or more across DFW bidders, and the only way to know whether a number is fair is to see it next to two others. Any company on this list will quote for free.

Then compare line items, not totals. A useful bid spells out post material (galvanized steel posts resist clay movement far better than wood), post depth and spacing, concrete per post, picket grade and thickness, rail count (three rails on a 6-foot fence, not two), whether old fence tear-out and haul-off is included, and gate hardware by name. A low bid that is vague on those items is not a low bid - it is a fence with 24-inch posts and two rails that you will be repairing in year four.

Finally, verify insurance before anyone digs. Ask for a certificate of general liability sent directly from the insurer, confirm the company calls 811 for utility locates, and get the workmanship warranty in writing with a number of years on it. A legitimate contractor does all of this without flinching.

What a fence costs in Dallas-Fort Worth

These are 2026 installed starting prices per linear foot. Height, grade, steel posts, board-on-board construction, and demolition push the number up from there. A typical metro project runs about 150 linear feet.

At 150 linear feet, a basic cedar privacy fence starts around $4,200 installed. Board-on-board with a cap-and-trim top and steel posts - the fence most DFW HOAs actually want - lands meaningfully higher, and it is worth it.
