AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Hollywood
Fence installation in Hollywood typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard vinyl or wood fence, and most residential jobs take two to five days once materials arrive. If you’re on a tight lot off Fountain Avenue or inside a historic district near Whitley Heights, the schedule and the price shift based on access, design review, and property-line surveys. That’s the reality we work with every week.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and we answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318. When you call about a fence in Hollywood, you get a live person, not a call center.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hollywood’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’ve pulled fence permits in Hollywood’s 90028 zip code long enough to know which blocks trigger design review and which ones don’t. A fence on a 1920s Spanish Colonial courtyard complex near Hollywood Boulevard is a different job than a fence on a 1960s ranch house off Melrose. We know before we quote which one you have.
Our crews work Hollywood regularly, which means we know the parking and staging problem before we show up. Tight driveways, zero-lot-line setbacks, metered streets along Santa Monica Boulevard, city right-of-way rules. We plan around all of it, write it into the scope, and put every change order on paper before work starts.
Every Hollywood fence job includes a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we pull permits on every eligible job and get inspections signed.
You can also check the license number yourself, it’s published right alongside Tom’s name and address. We’d rather you verify than wonder.
Our Fence Installation Services in Hollywood
Fence Installation in Hollywood covers more than digging post holes. A lot of what we do on these blocks is fixing what a previous crew got wrong, or replacing something the City flagged. Here are the four fence types we install most often in Hollywood.
Wood Fence
Wood fences still dominate Hollywood’s older residential streets, especially around the Craftsman bungalows east of Highland and the courtyard complexes off Fountain. Cedar and redwood hold up well in Hollywood’s dry summers, but the real issue here is property lines. Old subdivided lots, shared walls, and fences that have been rebuilt three times since 1940. We locate and mark lines, coordinate with your neighbor when needed, and build a fence that stays on your side.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is common behind Hollywood apartment buildings and along commercial edges near Santa Monica Blvd. It’s the most affordable option, but the City and the HPOZ boards don’t always smile on it in historic districts. We’ll tell you straight if chain link is going to pass review or get you a stop-work order.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Hollywood is popular for privacy, durability, and low maintenance. But if you’re inside an HPOZ district, vinyl can be a problem. The LA Office of Historic Resources has denied vinyl and aluminum fences that don’t match the character of a 1920s courtyard complex. We check the overlay before we quote so you don’t buy materials that won’t get approved.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fencing works well on Hollywood homes where you want security without closing off the street view. It’s common around pools and side yards in the Hollywood Hills, where slopes make standard wood fences harder to set. Aluminum holds up to the dry heat and marine layer without rusting the way cheaper iron does. Again, HPOZ review may still apply depending on the block.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood
We install and service fence products from Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT. These are names you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. If you’re replacing a fence panel or gate latch on an existing fence, we typically stock common hardware locally for Hollywood jobs, so you’re not waiting weeks on a shipped part. When a specific profile or color needs to match an existing fence in a historic district, we order it in writing and confirm lead times before we start.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Hollywood Homes
Hollywood’s housing stock is old, dense, and often historically protected. That combination creates a specific set of fence problems we see again and again:
- HPOZ or R-1 overlay violations. A homeowner installs a fence without checking design review rules, and the City issues a stop-work order along with a notice to remove non-conforming materials. The fix costs more than the original fence.
- Parking and staging on zero-lot-line lots. There’s no room for a material drop on many Hollywood lots. Blocking the public right-of-way draws complaints and fines fast. We stage minimally, often in a single parking space, and hand-carry materials to the line.
- Missing property-line survey. Old subdivided courtyard lots are notorious for fences built 6 inches onto the neighbor’s side. After inspection sign-off, the next survey catches it, and the fence has to come out. We confirm the line before we dig.
- Neighbor conflicts on shared walls. A shared fence in a courtyard bungalow complex means shared decisions. We coordinate with the neighbor, document the agreement in writing, and keep the work quiet and contained so the relationship survives the project.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Hollywood, FL
Most residential fence installations in Hollywood fall between $3,500 and $9,000, depending on linear footage, material, access, and whether design review applies. A standard vinyl fence on a flat lot in a non-historic neighborhood stays on the lower end. A wood privacy fence with gates on a hillside lot near the Hollywood Hills runs higher because of slope work and hand-digging. Here are two common ranges we quote in Hollywood:
| Fence Type | Typical Hollywood Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 - $10,000 |
Those ranges cover a standard residential lot with reasonable access. If you’re on a tight courtyard lot off Fountain with shared walls and HPOZ sign-off requirements, we’ll give you a written line-item quote that accounts for it. No allowances that aren’t on paper, and no change order that doesn’t reach you in writing before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Hollywood
Yes, in many cases. Hollywood’s Historic Preservation Overlay Zones require design review by the LA Office of Historic Resources for exterior alterations, including fence replacement, even when you’re matching an existing fence. The review can add two to four weeks to your timeline. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your address against the overlay map before you spend a dollar on materials.
Legally, a fence on a shared line in Hollywood generally requires neighbor notification or agreement, especially in courtyard bungalow complexes with party-wall and shared-fence arrangements. Practically, notifying the neighbor is the fastest path. We handle the conversation, put the agreement in writing, and keep the work on schedule. If your neighbor won’t cooperate, we document everything and adjust the line placement to stay fully on your side.
Hollywood follows Los Angeles noise ordinances, which generally allow construction noise between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. on weekdays, with more restricted hours on weekends. We schedule our loudest work, like post-hole digging and concrete work, in the mid-morning, not the early hours. It keeps the neighbors from calling the City and keeps your project moving.
Fences under 6 feet tall do not always require a building permit in Hollywood, but HPOZ design review may still apply regardless of height if the property is in a designated historic district. A fence that skips review can get tagged with a stop-work order even if no building permit was needed. We check both before we quote. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your address triggers.
A zero-lot-line or narrow courtyard lot changes the quote because access dictates methods. Hand-digging near shared gas lines, staging materials in a single parking space, coordinating with a neighbor’s repair crew, and working around HPOZ inspection windows all add labor hours and sometimes permit fees. These are real costs, not padding. We line-item them in the written quote so you see exactly what your lot requires.
One Hollywood Reality You Won’t Hear From an Out-of-Area Franchise
In Hollywood’s HPOZ districts, a fence replacement often triggers design review by the LA Office of Historic Resources. That means a standard vinyl or aluminum fence could be denied if it doesn’t match the character of a 1920s Spanish Colonial courtyard complex. This hurdle doesn’t exist in neighboring West Hollywood or the Los Feliz flatlands. Out-of-area contractors quote the job, order materials, and discover the review requirement after the fact. We check the overlay map before we quote, because we’ve done this on too many Hollywood blocks to get caught twice.
We saw it play out on a tight courtyard bungalow lot off Fountain Avenue. Our crew replaced a rotting wood fence while coordinating with the neighbor’s stucco repair crew and a city inspector handling a soft-story retrofit across the street. We kept material staging to a single parking space, hand-dug near the shared gas lines, and wrapped the punch list before the HPOZ inspector’s 4 p.m. sign-off window closed. That’s the difference between a local crew that lives with Hollywood’s constraints and a franchised crew that’s never parked on Fountain.
If you’re pricing a fence in the 90028, call us first. We’ll give you the real number, the real schedule, and the real review triggers before you sign anything. Tom Barrett’s name is on the work.
