AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Boerne
Fence installation in Boerne costs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical vinyl or wood privacy fence on a standard residential lot, with most projects wrapping up in three to seven working days once materials land. That price reflects the reality of building in Boerne, where post holes hit Hill Country limestone far more often than anyone expects. If you’re calling around after a national outfit quoted one number on the phone and handed you a different one at signing, you’re not alone. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been pulling permits and putting our name on the work since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail tree.
We coordinate scheduling from our San Antonio office and run crews in Boerne every week, so the crew that shows up isn’t a stranger and the person who shakes your hand is the same one who stands behind the finished fence.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boerne’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Anybody can drive a post in soft dirt. Boerne isn’t soft dirt. The 78006 and 78015 ZIPs sit on Cretaceous limestone karst, and more than a few fence projects in Boerne have gone sideways when a contractor showed up expecting Bexar County flatland and hit bedrock eighteen inches down. We plan for that before the first hole is dug. That’s why homeowners in Esperanza, Napa Oaks, and the older ranch-style streets near downtown keep calling us back.
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run crews in Boerne now. That matters when a gate sags three years later or a cedar picket takes hail damage in a spring storm. One call brings Tom back. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, and if something’s not right, we make it right. You can look up Tom’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. We publish them on purpose.
Every scope change, every allowance, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Our Fence Installation Services in Boerne
Wood Fence
Cedar privacy fencing is the most common request we field in Boerne, and the local climate has a lot to do with it. The Hill Country heat bakes untreated pine fast, so we steer Boerne homeowners toward cedar or treated pine with a proper stain and seal schedule. A 6-foot cedar privacy fence for a typical Boerne backyard runs $4,500 to $8,500 depending on linear footage and gate count.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link shows up more often than people expect in Boerne, especially around larger Hill Country lots where a full privacy fence would cost a fortune. Galvanized chain link with top rail and concrete-set posts runs $2,800 to $5,500 for most Boerne residential jobs. If you’re fencing acreage around a ranch-style home in the 78006 core, we’ll give you a straight per-foot number before we ever break ground.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Boerne runs $3,500 to $9,000, which is why it’s become the lead option for the master-planned communities going up on former ranchland. Vinyl handles the Boerne sun without fading the way wood does, and it doesn’t rot when Cibolo Creek watershed storms dump an inch of rain in an afternoon. We stock common vinyl profiles locally, so lead times stay short.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum makes sense for Boerne pool enclosures and front-yard perimeter fencing where you want sight lines through to the Hill Country view. Aluminum fence installation in Boerne runs $4,000 to $10,000 for a standard residential job, and the panels hold up to limestone dust and cedar pollen better than painted steel ever will.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boerne
We install premium brands you can look up yourself, not mystery products off the back of a van. For fence work in Boerne, that means materials from suppliers we’ve worked with for years, and when a gate hinge or a panel needs service, we can pull parts quickly because we know exactly what’s in local inventory. The same standard applies to the rest of our trades, where we carry Schluter and Grohe in bathrooms and GAF on roofs. If you’re doing Fence Installation alongside other exterior work, we plan it as one job with one set of permits and one written scope, not three schedules competing for the same week.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Boerne Homes
- Rock hits in the post holes. Boerne sits on Cretaceous limestone, and a surprising number of fence bids in the 78015 ZIP were written by someone who never drilled a hole here. When an auger hits solid bedrock twelve inches down, the bid goes up. We plan for that and put it in writing before the job starts.
- Runoff from Cibolo Creek watershed storms. Boerne gets fast, intense thunderstorms, and the water runs hard through the Hill Country terrain. Posts set without proper gravel and concrete bases heave within a couple of seasons. We set posts deep and drain them right the first time.
- HOA and impervious cover rules in the newer subdivisions. Esperanza and Napa Oaks have architectural review boards and stormwater rules tied to Edwards Aquifer protections. We pull permits and submit plans that hold up in review, because we’ve done it enough times to know what gets flagged.
- Cedar pollen and UV damage. The live oak and cedar mix around Boerne deposits a lot of airborne material on fences, and the sun at 1,400 feet is unrelenting. Material choice and sealing schedule matter more here than they would in a flatland subdivision thirty miles southeast.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Boerne, TX
A typical fence installation in Boerne runs $3,500 to $9,000, and the main variables are linear footage, post depth, gate count, and what’s actually underground. A wood privacy fence on a quarter-acre lot usually lands between $4,500 and $8,500. Vinyl runs $3,500 to $9,000. Aluminum runs $4,000 to $10,000. Chain link runs $2,800 to $5,500. The rock question is the wild card: if post holes need a rock saw or breaker, that’s a written change order with a number on it before we ever swing the hammer. You’ll never hear “it depends” without a range attached. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and if you already have a written number from someone else, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. No trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount applies.

For estimates, we answer the phone 24/7 and can usually see the property within a few days. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll put a date on the calendar, not a window.
Yes, we work across the 78006 and 78015 ZIP codes, from downtown’s historic German-settler-era streets to the newer master-planned subdivisions like Esperanza and Napa Oaks. Every job gets the same written scope, the same permit discipline, and the same 90-Day Done Right Promise regardless of which side of Cibolo Creek you’re on.
It can, and the reason is underground. Boerne’s limestone bedrock forces more rock drilling and slower post-setting than flatland subdivisions, which adds labor and occasionally equipment costs. The difference is real and we put it in writing instead of surprising you at the end. A typical Boerne fence runs $3,500 to $9,000, with the rock question being the single biggest variable.
If your fence isn’t done right within 90 days of completion, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That covers workmanship and installation issues, and it’s written on the contract, not buried in fine print. It’s the same promise we put on every job, from a small gate repair to a full home addition.
Yes. If part of your existing fence is salvageable and part needs replacing, we price it as one clear scope, not two tickets. Fence repair is a big part of what we do in Boerne, especially after spring hailstorms and heavy runoff seasons. We’ll tell you straight what’s worth saving and what isn’t.
If you’re tired of contractors who quote one number and bill another, we’re the opposite of that. Every price change in writing, before work happens. Every permit pulled and inspection signed. A live person answers the phone. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free fence installation estimate in Boerne, and we’ll walk the property line with you, write down everything, and hand you a number that holds.
