Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Heath’s Preferred Fence Installation Company

We’re the name-on-the-truck crew, not a franchise that sends strangers from three counties away. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the fence crews that show up in Heath. When you call, a live person answers, and when we tell you Wednesday morning, that’s when the truck pulls up. Heath customers have been the backbone of our fence work for years, and you’ll find our name on fences along Rustic Court, Mesa Verde, and the cul-de-sacs off Smirl Drive.

Around here, every fence sits on black clay that moves. We set Line Posts deeper than code minimum, use concrete footings sized for expansive soil, and check the hinge side of gate posts twice because Heath gates sag fast when the clay dries out in August. That’s also why every price change on a Heath job arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprises at the end, no “we didn’t know about the buried sprinkler line” tacked on after the fact. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on the contract, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published so you can verify all of it before you sign.

Rockwall County inspectors know our crews by name, and they should. We pull permits on every eligible fence job in Heath, get them signed, and hand you the paperwork at the end. That’s the Barrett way, and it’s been the Barrett way through over 29 years of work in this region.

Our Fence Installation Services in Heath

Our Fence Installation team covers everything from dog-eared privacy cedar to powder-coated aluminum meant to frame a lake view. Here’s what Heath homeowners call us for most:

Wood Fence

Cedar privacy fence is still the standard in Heath, and for good reason. It stands up to North Texas sun better than pine, and on lots that run half an acre or more, it gives you real seclusion from Rustic Court traffic and backyard neighbors alike. We use 6-foot dog-eared pickets as a starting point, pressure-treated posts set in concrete, and steel-reinforced gate frames.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl makes sense for Heath homeowners who don’t want to stain every three years. It costs a bit more up front than wood, but you’ll never repaint or reseal, and yes, it handles our hail and wind without a problem. For families near Heath Golf Club, we often combine a vinyl privacy run facing the street with aluminum view panels facing the course.

Aluminum Fence

If you’ve got a pool, aluminum is usually the way to go. It meets Rockwall County pool barrier code, doesn’t rust near Lake Ray Hubbard moisture, and won’t block the view of the water for those homeowners on the eastern shore. We install it tight to grade and anchor gate posts below the active clay zone so they don’t lean by year three.

Chain Link Fence

Chain link is the budget-friendly choice for dog runs, utility areas, and temporary enclosures. We do galvanized and vinyl-coated in black and green, and for Heath acreage in the less paved stretches of the 75032 zip code, we’ll run it long and straight without the sag you see on fence work done by out-of-town crews.

Trusted Brands We Service in Heath

For fence hardware, we stock and install GAF accessory products where they apply, and we lean on premium, name-brand gate hardware and fasteners that hold up to the freeze-thaw and clay movement Heath dishes out. If you’re already planning other work at the same time, we also carry Schluter and Sterling product lines in our other divisions. The point is this: we don’t put mystery materials off a supply-house pallet onto a Heath fence post. You’ll see the brand name on the order, and we’ll warranty it in writing.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Heath Homes

Property lines in Heath are not always where the old fence sits. Here’s what we deal with regularly in the 75032 zip code:

• Gate posts leaning within two summers. Heath’s expansive clay shrinks in July and August, leaving a gap around the footing, then swells in October. We set gate posts on deeper concrete and use heavier-wall steel posts on every gate.
• Fences that don’t follow the actual survey line. On older Heath custom homes, the previous owner may have built a fence ten feet off the true line. That’s a real problem when you sell. We verify against your survey before we dig, and we’ll flag discrepancies in writing.
• Rot at the bottom of wood pickets. Sprinkler overspray and heavy mulch berms keep the bottom rail damp. We set wood fences a minimum of two inches off grade and recommend drip-line-adjusted sprinkler heads during the final walkthrough.
• Wind load failures along Lake Ray Hubbard open stretches. Heath lots near the shoreline take the full brunt of spring storms. We space posts closer and use additional horizontal rails on lake-facing runs, not because code requires it everywhere, but because we’ve repaired too many fences that didn’t have it.
