Fences from the 2000s are coming due
Frisco had 33,714 residents in 2000 and 116,989 in 2010, so a large share of its backyard fences went up in the 2000s along with the houses. An original wood fence from that decade would now be around twenty years old, by our reading of the census counts. If yours is one of them, price repair against replacement.
