Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Coppell’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That matters in Coppell because you’ll see the same faces at the Andrews Elementary car line or the Coppell Farmers Market that you saw setting posts in your yard. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from a call center. Fence Installation is one of our core trades, and when we quote a fence in Coppell, the name on the truck matches the name on the contract.
Coppell homeowners don’t want a national outfit that quotes one price on the phone and shows up with another number at the door. Our estimate is a written document. Every change order is a written document. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract, not buried in fine print: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything.
Our Fence Installation Services in Coppell
Wood Fence
Cedar privacy fences dominate Coppell’s neighborhoods, from the mature lots off Denton Tap Road to the newer streets around Andy Brown Park. Our crews build 6-foot and 8-foot cedar fences with steel-reinforced gate posts and rot-resistant cedar or pressure-treated rails. Given how tight some Coppell back yards are to post-tension slab edges, we hand-dig or GPR-scan every line before the auger goes in. That step has saved more than one homeowner a five-figure slab repair.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is less common on Coppell’s front-facing property lines, but it still gets specified for side yard enclosures, pool equipment screens, and sometimes commercial or church properties along Southwestern Boulevard. We run galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in residential and commercial gauges, and we set posts deep enough to hold up to the Blackland Prairie clay’s shrink-swell movement. A fence that looks straight in July can rack by February if the posts aren’t set below the active clay zone.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl privacy fence is the fastest-growing request we get in Coppell, especially on the 1990s and early 2000s homes where HOA covenants list vinyl as an approved material. It holds finishes well under the Texas sun, never needs staining, and cleans up with a hose. The catch in Coppell is that vinyl’s rigidity means the post embedment and concrete collar have to be done right the first time, because frost heave and clay movement will find a shallow post fast. We price vinyl fence installation in Coppell from $3,500 to $9,000 depending on footage and gate hardware.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence shows up on Coppell’s larger homes, often around pools or along rear property lines where an open sightline is preferred over a solid panel. It’s strong, doesn’t rust in our humidity cycles, and works well with the brick-veneer aesthetic that dominates the city. Aluminum fence installation in Coppell runs $4,000 to $10,000. We stock line posts, brackets, and gate kits locally, which means fewer missed days waiting on parts when your fence line runs longer than the original survey showed.

Trusted Brands We Service in Coppell
We don’t install mystery materials off a van, and that matters on a fence that has to stand for 15 or 20 years in Texas weather. When a Coppell customer asks for vinyl or composite options, we’re working with names you can look up, the same way we carry GAF on roofing jobs. We maintain local parts inventory for standard fence hardware, rails, and gate components, which shortens turnaround times for Coppell repair callbacks. If you have a warranty question on a material we installed, we don’t send you to a website. We handle the claim.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Coppell Homes
- Post holes augered blind near post-tension slabs. Coppell’s 1985-2005 housing stock sits almost universally on post-tension concrete slabs with embedded high-tension steel cables. A post hole dug within 18 inches of a slab edge can sever one of those cables, and the repair bill starts in the five figures. We GPR-scan before we auger on any line that runs parallel to a foundation.
- Fence lines run over unmarked Blackland Prairie clay swells. North Texas clay expands dramatically when wet and contracts just as aggressively in drought. A fence set at standard depth without a concrete collar will rack and pull gates out of alignment by the second wet season. We set posts below the active clay zone and reinforce gate posts with below-grade cross-bracing.
- Gate posts set with fast-set concrete only. Fast-set concrete is convenient. It’s also the reason we see leaning gate posts in Coppell within 18 months. Heat, humidity, and clay movement work the post loose. We use concrete collars and steel-reinforced posts on every gate, every time.
- Fences installed without checking FAA Part 77 obstruction zones. Portions of Coppell sit within FAA airspace notification and obstruction zones because of the direct border with DFW International Airport. Certain fence heights or locations trigger height-restriction reviews that most suburban fence crews never think to check. We do, because we’ve worked in Coppell long enough to know where the lines are.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Coppell, TX
Here’s what Coppell fence work actually costs. A standard vinyl privacy fence runs $3,500 to $9,000. Aluminum fence installation runs $4,000 to $10,000. Wood privacy fences usually land in the same range as vinyl, with cedar, gate count, and linear footage moving the number. Chain link runs on the lower end but depends on the gauge and whether it’s galvanized or vinyl-coated. What moves the price in Coppell specifically? GPR scanning time if your line runs near a slab, rock-barrel augering for sites with shallow limestone float, gate hardware, and demolition and haul-off of the old fence. We give you a written line-item quote up front, every allowance goes on paper, and every change order is written and signed before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for your free estimate.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Coppell
Yes, in most cases Coppell still requires a permit for fence replacement even when height and setback stay the same, and the permit inspector works for you, not for us. We pull permits on every eligible job. A fence built without one can become a problem at resale, and some HOAs will flag an unpermitted fence regardless of how it looks. We file the paperwork, schedule the inspection, and make sure the final sign-off is in your hands before we call the job done. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific property’s requirements.
It means your posts have to be set deeper than a contractor from a newer-construction market would typically go. Blackland Prairie clay swells in our wet winters and shrinks in summer drought, which creates lateral pressure that racks a shallow-set fence and pulls gates out of alignment. We set posts below the active clay zone and pour concrete collars, which costs a little more upfront and saves you a leaning fence in 18 months. Every price change is on paper before we start.
Yes, and we do it regularly, but only after GPR scanning the line to locate embedded steel cables. Coppell’s homes are almost all on post-tension slabs, and severing one of those high-tension cables can cause slab failure and a structural repair that dwarfs the cost of the fence. We scan before any augering within 18 inches of a slab edge, and we mark the location of every cable before any hole is dug. If the scan shows a conflict, we adjust the line or the gate location, and we document the change in writing.
Expect us to read the HOA covenant before we quote, not after the fence is up. Many Coppell HOAs have specific language on fence material, color, height, and even the finish on the side facing the street. We’ll pull those requirements, build them into the written estimate, and if a stain or material has to be ordered, we’ll write that allowance into the contract so there’s no surprise at the end. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your HOA requirements with you free of charge.
We locate and mark all buried utilities and drainage lines before we dig, and we install fence sections across drainage easements in a way that doesn’t block water flow or violate Coppell’s easement access rules. In many cases that means a removable panel section or a design that lets the city access the easement without tearing out your fence. We’ll tell you exactly what your easement will allow, in writing, before we set the first post. For a free estimate, call (877) 610-1318.
