AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Hurst
Fence installation in Hurst typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard backyard, with wood and vinyl making up the bulk of the work we do across 76053 and 76054. We’re the crew that answers our own phone, shows up when we say we will, and puts every price change on paper before a board moves. If you live off Pipeline Road, near Bellaire, or over by Hurst Junior High, you already know the drill: it’s the oldest houses on the block that fight back the hardest when it’s time to set posts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come measure, walk the lot with you, and hand you a written line-item quote before we leave the driveway.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hurst’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Plenty of fence outfits roll into Hurst from somewhere else. Tom Barrett lives twenty minutes away from most Hurst job sites, and his sons run the crews, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. When a Hurst homeowner calls us about a leaning privacy fence along a rear lot line facing a busy corridor like Grapevine Highway, we already know the setback rules and which side of the property line the last survey pins favor. That’s the difference between a neighbor nodding hello and a neighbor filing a complaint with the city.
We’ve built our reputation in Hurst on showing up with a name you can verify. Tom publishes his license number, his address, and his phone number. Look it up. Ask anyone on your street. When something isn’t right, one call brings him back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract we sign in Hurst.
Hurst’s housing stock runs older than what you’ll find in Colleyville or Southlake. Most of the homes we fence are brick-veneer ranches from the 1960s and 1970s, and many still have original fence lines that were never properly surveyed. We handle that, no drama, and we don’t charge a surprise “discovery fee” when an old post hits a hidden root. The quote we hand you is the price you pay, unless you sign a written change order first.
Our Fence Installation Services in Hurst
Wood Fence
A wood privacy fence is still the most common choice in Hurst, and for good reason. Cedar holds up against the North Texas boom-bust moisture cycle better than cheaper pine, especially when we set posts in concrete below the clay line where seasonal shrink-swell does the most damage. We build a lot of six-foot board-on-board privacy fences along rear lot lines in older neighborhoods off East Pipeline Road and Precinct Line Road, where that extra material gives you true privacy from a neighboring two-story that didn’t exist when the subdivision was platted.
Vinyl Fence
Homeowners in Hurst who are tired of restaining a wood fence every three years often switch to vinyl. It laughs at the summer heat and doesn’t care how much rain falls in October. The catch is that Hurst’s clay soil moves, and a vinyl fence doesn’t flex. We set vinyl posts deeper and in wider concrete footings than the manufacturer asks for, because we’d rather overbuild now than come back after a wet fall to a fence line that looks like a wave pool.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link still has its place in Hurst, mostly on side yards, dog runs, and around pools where code requires a specific latch height and gap clearances. We do a lot of black vinyl-coated chain link for homeowners who want the function without the industrial look. It’s also the most budget-friendly way to secure a backyard in older Hurst homes where a full privacy fence isn’t in this year’s budget.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence in Hurst runs $4,000 to $10,000 for most residential lots, and it’s the pick for homeowners who want a decorative look that won’t rust. We see more of it on larger corner lots in Hurst where the front yard faces a cross street and an ornamental aluminum run looks better against a brick ranch than a solid wood wall. It’s also a good match for pool enclosures, which is a whole other set of Hurst code requirements we know by heart.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
We install Plasson, Ply Gem, and PGT products regularly across Hurst, and we stock the common hardware and hinge parts locally so a gate repair doesn’t wait a week on a shipping queue. Whether you choose a Ply Gem vinyl privacy fence or a PGT aluminum run, you can look the brand up yourself before you sign. We won’t roll up with mystery materials off a van and tell you to trust us. We read the data sheets, we know the wind ratings, and we’ll tell you which brand holds up best on a Hurst lot with half a dozen mature oaks crowding the fence line.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Hurst Homes
Hurst isn’t like a brand-new subdivision out in the county where the ground has settled once and been graded flat. Our crews work around the same four issues over and over:
- Clay soil movement: Hurst sits on the far edge of the North Texas Blackland Prairie, and the soil here shrinks in a dry July and swells after a week of October rain. Posts set too shallow, or set in dry-packed dirt instead of concrete, lean within two years. We dig below the active clay line and set posts in concrete with a flared base.
- Property line confusion: Many fences in Hurst were put up decades ago, built by someone who eyeballed the line instead of pulling a survey. When we replace a fence on a shared lot line in a 1960s neighborhood off Bellaire Drive, we check the survey first, and we check with the neighbor if needed.
- Root pressure from mature trees: Hurst has beautiful old-growth neighborhoods, and those live oaks and pecans produce root systems that push fence posts out of plumb. We hand-dig or air-spade around major roots rather than cutting them, which would kill the tree and then become your problem when the city gets involved.
- Gate sag on old posts: A single gate hung on a four-by-four post that’s been soaking and drying for 20 years is the most common repair call we get in Hurst. We pour new posts set below the clay line, mount the gate on a steel insert when needed, and we don’t charge extra for the diagnosis when it comes with a bigger job.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Hurst, TX
A standard Hurst wood privacy fence runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on linear feet, height, gate count, and access. A smaller side-yard repair or a single gate replacement lands lower, in the $800 to $2,500 range. Vinyl runs slightly higher on material cost; aluminum sits in the $4,000 to $10,000 band for a full residential run. What moves the number most in Hurst is access: if we have to hand-carry material through a side gate because the lot is fully developed and there’s no alley access, that’s in the quote, in writing, before we ever dig the first hole. You’ll get a written scope, a written allowance if we need one, and a written change order if anything shifts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. No trip charge inside the county, and that number is answered by a live person 24/7.
