AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Four Corners
Fence installation in Four Corners runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential vinyl fence, with wood often landing on the lower end and aluminum on the higher. We work throughout 77083 regularly, so we know the unincorporated Fort Bend County rules better than most crews who only pass through. If you’re weighing options for a new privacy fence or need a stretch of chain link replaced along your property line, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the site before you spend a dime.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Four Corners’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
When you call Barrett & Sons, you get Tom Barrett’s name on the truck and his sons running the crew. We’ve been at this since 1998, and the reason people in Four Corners keep calling us back is simple: we put every scope and every change order in writing before work begins. The last contractor most folks in this ZIP code dealt with quoted one price over the phone and showed up with another. That doesn’t happen with us, because a price that isn’t on paper is just a guess wearing a work shirt.
Permits are another thing we handle differently. Four Corners sits in unincorporated Fort Bend County, not the City of Houston, so fence jobs that need a permit go through the county’s portal, not Houston’s. We pull them. We schedule the inspections. And when the inspector signs off, you get the paperwork. If a fence contractor tells you permits don’t matter here, that’s your sign to keep looking.
Our customers around Mission Bend, Alief, and the subdivisions off Bellaire Boulevard know Tom lives close enough to come back if anything’s off. That’s the whole point of the 90-Day Done Right Promise we write into every contract. One call, and Tom comes back. Not a call center, not a new crew. Tom.
Our Fence Installation Services in Four Corners
Here’s what we install most often in the 77083 area, and what we’ve learned from doing it here for years.
Wood Fence
Wood fences in Four Corners take a beating from the Gulf Coast humidity and the wet-dry clay cycle. Cedar and pressure-treated pine hold up best when the posts are set below the shrink-swell zone, and we install them deeper than the minimum where the black clay is worst. A typical wood fence here runs $3,500 to $7,000 depending on linear feet and gate count, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before a single post hole is dug.
Chain Link Fence
For folks who need to keep dogs in and deer out without blocking sight lines, galvanized chain link is still the honest workhorse. The clay in Four Corners expands enough each rainy season to rack shallow posts, so we sink them in concrete footings and use heavier gauge line posts than the box stores sell. Most residential chain link jobs in 77083 land between $2,800 and $6,500 with gates.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is the most common Fence Installation choice we handle in Four Corners, and for good reason: it shrugs off the humidity and doesn’t need staining every two years. We stock white and tan vinyl panels and can match most existing styles in the subdivisions built in the 1980s and 1990s along Highway 6. Expect $3,500 to $9,000 for a full vinyl privacy fence on a standard Four Corners lot.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum suits the townhome and patio-home lots scattered through 77083, especially where a homeowner wants a clean perimeter without the upkeep of iron. It won’t rust in the coastal air the way cheap steel will, and the panels carry a finish warranty rather than a paint promise. Aluminum fence installation in Four Corners typically runs $4,000 to $10,000, with driveway gates and walk gates priced separately on the written quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Four Corners
We install fence materials you can look up, not mystery stock off a van. For Four Corners customers, that means brands like Ply Gem vinyl, PGT aluminum, and Simonton when a fence job turns into a matching gate or enclosure around an outdoor living area. Because we’re local to the area, we can pull stock quickly when a section fails or a gate gets backed into. You won’t wait three weeks for a special-order panel while your dog has the run of the street.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Four Corners Homes
- Posts heaving on Beaumont clay. The black clay under Four Corners swells when it rains and shrinks in the dry months. Shallow posts set in undisturbed clay will rack and lean within two years. We set posts in concrete footings below the active shrink-swell depth and tell you exactly what we’re doing, because it’s your fence and you should know.
- Fort Bend County permit surprises. Contractors who work mostly inside Houston city limits sometimes show up in 77083 and try to pull a Houston permit online. That doesn’t work here. We’ve seen jobs stopped cold because the crew didn’t verify the county jurisdiction. We check before we dig, every time.
- Rot at the soil line on wood fences. The constant humidity in Four Corners means wood posts wick moisture where they meet the ground. We use pressure-treated posts and, on request, post sleeves or gravel drainage at the base to keep rot from eating the fence from the bottom up over ten years.
- Gates sagging under heat and humidity. A wide gate built light will sag in this climate. We frame gates with diagonal bracing and use adjustable hinges so you’re not dragging the latch across the ground by August. If you’ve got a sagging gate now, fence repair in Four Corners usually costs less than a full replacement, and we’ll tell you straight which one you need.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Four Corners
We typically schedule fence estimates in Four Corners within a few business days of your call. We don’t promise “today” on planned fence installation, because a proper estimate means walking the property line and checking for buried lines first. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get you on the calendar.
Yes. We work throughout 77083, from the neighborhoods off Bellaire Boulevard to the subdivisions along Highway 6, and we pull all required Fort Bend County permits for fence work, not Houston permits. The county portal is different, the inspection scheduling is different, and we handle it from start to finish.
For a downed fence after a storm, yes, we prioritize Four Corners calls and can usually assess the damage quickly. A fallen section exposing your yard or your pets is urgent. A leaning post that’s been that way for a month is less urgent. Either way, call and tell us what you’ve got, and we’ll give you an honest answer on timing. Estimates are free, and for a repair over $200, we’ll take $40 off.
Material prices are about the same, and the labor market is the same Gulf Coast market. What differs in Four Corners is the county permitting process and the clay soil conditions, which can add post depth and concrete work to a quote if a contractor actually knows what they’re doing. A typical fence in 77083 runs $3,500 to $9,000. Any quote far under that is either using shallow posts or skipping the permit. Neither is a bargain.
Every fence we install carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. Material warranties from manufacturers like Ply Gem and PGT apply on top of that. We don’t hide behind fine print, because we live twenty minutes away and we’d rather see you at the hardware store on good terms.
