Horizontal cedar fence with full-cap trim — Woodchuck Millwork installation in Allen, TX

Why Woodchuck

Built by a craftsman who answers his own phone.

Josh Stoneking took Woodchuck over from his brother-in-law and renamed it in 2016, chasing one idea: honest, good craftsmanship at a fair price. We're not a marketing front for a fence factory — we're one crew based in Allen, working out of a shop on Rush Creek Drive, building the way Josh would build a fence in his own yard.

  • ✔ Single crew — the same hands that quote, build, and warranty the work
  • ✔ Subcontractors work directly with Josh for four completed projects before running their own — and Josh or a project manager checks in daily on every job site
  • ✔ Cedar #1 grade as the default (not #2 or "cedar-tone")
  • ✔ 13-gauge heavy-duty steel posts, 30 inches deep in Maximizer concrete
  • ✔ Written, itemized estimates — no high-pressure pitch

Common questions

Before you call.

What areas does Woodchuck Millwork serve?
We work across the North Dallas suburbs — Allen (our home base), Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson, Prosper, Wylie, Sachse, Fairview, Melissa, Anna, and Princeton. If you're inside the LBJ Loop on the north side, we'll usually take the call.
How long do cedar fences last in North Texas?
#1 grade cedar, installed to spec on 13-gauge heavy-duty steel posts set in concrete, typically lasts 20–25 years in DFW. Re-stain every 2–3 years to keep the color and slow UV damage. White wood pine — our budget option — is shorter, figure 12–15 years.
Do you handle permits?
Yes, when a job needs one. Most residential fence replacements in Allen, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and Richardson don't require a permit, so we rarely have to pull one — but when the city does require it, we pull the permit, submit the site plan, and meet the inspector. Homeowners never deal with the city.
How much does a cedar fence cost in DFW?
Most of our 6-foot cedar privacy fences run between $5,000 and $8,500 installed for a typical 150-linear-foot residential yard, depending on style (board-on-board, horizontal, side-by-side), post hardware, and topography. Every quote is itemized.
Why family-owned instead of a national franchise?
Single-crew, owner-supervised. Josh personally walks every site and oversees every install. National franchises run templated playbooks and rotate crews — we do the same craft the same way, every time.
