AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Ingleside
Most fence jobs in Ingleside run between $3,500 and $9,000, depending on the material, footage, and what we find once we start digging. The salt air off Corpus Christi Bay eats fasteners and rots untreated posts faster than people expect, so we quote fences here with hardware and post treatments built for coastal conditions, not the cheap stuff that fails in five years. If you’re tired of looking at a leaning, rust-stained fence and want a straight answer on what it costs to replace it, call us at (877) 610-1318. We’ll come out, walk the line with you, and hand you a written estimate. No pressure, no mystery allowances.
We’re Fence Installation contractors who actually work in Ingleside, not a call center that subleases your job to whoever picks up the phone. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. The same faces you meet at the estimate are the ones setting posts in your yard.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Ingleside’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Homeowners in Ingleside call us because we answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and every job gets a written contract with the 90-Day Done Right Promise on it. That promise means if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. It’s not fine print; it’s the first thing we point to.
We’ve worked fences all over Ingleside, from the older brick-veneer homes off Main Street to the newer builds near the SH 361 corridor. The 78362 zip code is small enough that we know the streets without GPS fallback. We understand what the salt does to gate hardware off Bayshore Drive, and we know which sections of town sit low enough that drainage matters before you dig a single post hole. That local knowledge changes how we quote and how we build.
We also pull permits on every eligible fence job in Ingleside and get the inspection signed. If a contractor tells you a permit isn’t needed, ask them to put that in writing. We will, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s exactly why we like him.

Our Fence Installation Services in Ingleside
Wood Fence
Wood fencing in Ingleside means one thing: cedar or pressure-treated pine set in concrete, with galvanized fasteners every time. The onshore breeze that makes this town pleasant also carries enough salt to eat standard bright nails in under a decade. We see it all the time near Ingleside Point and along the bay side of town. We use cedar posts rated for ground contact and set them deep enough to resist the wind gusts that push across the open lots near the former Naval Station.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link remains the workhorse for a lot of Ingleside yards, especially where commercial fencing needs to survive the same conditions. For residential use, we order galvanized chain link with a heavier gauge than the big box stores stock. Around the petrochemical plants and port-adjacent industrial lots in Ingleside, we also install commercial-grade chain link with concrete footings sized for high-wind zones. No sagging after two seasons of bay wind.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is a smart choice in Ingleside because it does not rot or rust. The tradeoff is wind load, so we set vinyl posts deeper and use more concrete than the manufacturer’s minimum for inland builds. South Texas hurricane codes are not a suggestion. Homes along the open stretches of FM 1069 get the worst of the wind, and we size footings accordingly. A vinyl privacy fence installed correctly out here will outlast painted wood by a wide margin.
Aluminum Fence
For pools and decorative perimeters, aluminum is the cleanest option in the coastal climate. We install powder-coated aluminum fence panels that stand up to salt spray without the orange staining you see on older iron fences all over San Patricio County. Pool codes in Ingleside require specific height and gate self-latching hardware, and we handle the permitting on that too. No guesswork, no re-inspection surprises.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ingleside
We install fencing products we can stand behind, and we’re direct with you about what is in the ground. For concrete work tied to fences, gate footings, and paver walkways, we use Techo-Bloc and Quikrete materials because we know how they perform in South Texas heat and salt air. If your fence job needs a matching walkway from the driveway to the back gate, we also handle Driveway & Pavers in Ingleside. When a fence install grows into something bigger, like an outdoor living space or a detached structure, our Home Additions & ADU in Ingleside crew steps in under the same contract and the same written change order rules. One company, one phone number, one name on the truck.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Ingleside Homes
A few patterns show up again and again in Ingleside:
- Salt-corroded post hardware. Fences installed even 15 years ago with standard steel fasteners now lean or separate at the rails. The bay wind drives salt spray inland all year, and once a post base corrodes, the whole line starts moving.
- Shallow posts from previous DIY or cut-rate installs. We pull old posts set only 18 inches deep in sandy coastal soil. Wind gusts along the open lots off SH 361 push on fences like a sail, and shallow posts tilt within two or three seasons.
- Rot at the soil line on wood fences. Ingleside’s humidity plus the occasional saltwater intrusion from storm surge keeps the base of wood posts damp long after the weather clears. We replace rotting posts with treated lumber rated for direct burial and concrete them below the frost and erosion line.
- Gate sag and latch failure from wind cycling. Gates take the brunt of every gust. The hinges loosen, the frame torques, and the latch stops catching. We rebuild gates with steel-reinforced frames so they close square and stay that way.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Ingleside, TX
For a typical residential fence in Ingleside, plan on these ranges:
- Vinyl privacy fence: $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard suburban lot
- Aluminum fence: $4,000 to $10,000 depending on footage and gate count
- Wood fence: $3,500 to $9,000 depending on cedar versus treated pine and linear feet
- Chain link fence: sits at the lower end of the same range for residential, higher for commercial wind-rated builds
What moves the number is linear footage, number of gates, whether the old fence has to be pulled and hauled, and what we find underground. If we hit rock or an old concrete footer near the former Naval Station footprint, we stop and put the change order in writing before we spend another dollar. That’s how we work everywhere, including Fence Installation in Ingleside. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’ll give you a written line-item quote, not a ballpark over the phone.

If you’re in Ingleside proper or just outside city limits in San Patricio County, we can help. Call (877) 610-1318 to confirm your exact street.
We do both fence repair and full replacement in Ingleside. If the line is still sound and only a few posts or a gate need rebuilding, we quote the repair. If the posts are rotted at the base or the rails are salt-corroded, replacement is usually the better money. We’ll show you both options in writing before you choose.
Material costs are similar across Aransas Pass, Portland, and Rockport, but coastal wind and corrosion requirements can add labor and hardware cost in Ingleside. We build fences here differently than an inland contractor would, with deeper posts and galvanized or stainless fasteners. The $3,500 to $9,000 range for most residential fences reflects that coastal-grade build. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact number on your lot.
Every fence we install comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to fix it. Workmanship and materials also carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we don’t hide behind either. We live with our work and our name is on it.
