Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boulder City’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a slogan. When we build a fence in Boulder City, one of the Barretts is on-site, not a subcontracted crew nobody can reach. We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything, call his cell, whatever you need.
Boulder City customers don’t want a call center. They want a contractor who answers his own phone and shows up when he says he will. Our reputation here is built on the jobs we’ve done on the historic bungalows along Avenue B and the ranch homes near Veterans’ Memorial Drive. We know how those 1930s Bureau of Reclamation lots are laid out, where the property pins tend to wander, and how to set posts without wrecking original masonry. That local knowledge saves you money and keeps the HPC off your back.
Crews come to Boulder City from our Las Vegas office, and dispatch times are honest, not inflated promises. A live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail box. When you call for fence work in Boulder City, you get a real schedule and a real person on the other end.
Our Fence Installation Services in Boulder City
Different lots call for different fences. A privacy fence on a quiet street in the 89006 ranch-home neighborhoods is a different job than a period-appropriate boundary fence on a 1930s lot in the historic core. Here’s what we handle most often.
Wood Fence
A wood fence in Boulder City faces constant UV stress. Cheaper cedar and pine boards will gray and crack within a few seasons out here. We use materials rated for desert exposure, set posts deep enough to handle winter freeze heave, and stain or seal before the first summer hits. For older homes, a simple board-on-board privacy fence blends well without triggering design review fuss.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link makes sense for Boulder City lots that need pet containment or property boundary definition without blocking views of the McCullough Range. Galvanized steel holds up fine in this climate, but we recommend heavier gauges than the big-box standard. The wind through Eldorado Valley can bow lightweight chain link within a few years. We install commercial-grade fabric that stays taut.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Boulder City runs $3,500-$9,000 for an average yard. It’s popular because it doesn’t rot or attract termites, but it’s also vulnerable to thermal expansion. We leave correct expansion gaps and use UV-stabilized vinyl so panels don’t warp or fade to a chalky white. For homes near the Boulder City Golf Course, vinyl holds up against sprinkler overspray better than untreated wood.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is the quiet workhorse of Boulder City fencing. It won’t rust like iron, handles the elevation’s thermal cycling without fatigue, and offers a clean, understated look that suits both ranch homes and the more period-sensitive historic core. Expect to pay $4,000-$10,000 for aluminum fence installation in Boulder City depending on linear footage and gate count. Powder-coated finishes last decades here if the prep is done right.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Boulder City Homes
- Historic district material rejections. Homeowners buy a stock vinyl or composite fence, install it, then get flagged because the Historic Preservation Commission wants period-compatible wood or masonry. We know which materials pass in the 89005 historic district and which to avoid before you spend money.
- Wind-toppled posts on exposed lots. Homes along the eastern edge of Boulder City catch wind off the open desert. Undersized posts set in shallow concrete lean within a few years. We set posts below frost line and use concrete collars sized for lateral wind load, not just vertical weight.
- UV-bleached wood and vinyl. The Mojave sun at 2,500 feet chews through cheap sealants fast. We’ve replaced fences in Boulder City that were installed new by other contractors less than five years ago because the boards weren’t desert-rated or sealed properly.
- Property line drift on older lots. The Bureau of Reclamation plats are 90 years old now, and a lot of Boulder City pins have moved or gone missing. Before we dig, we verify the line. Building a fence two feet into your neighbor’s lot because the pin was wrong is a bad Tuesday for everyone.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Boulder City, NV
