AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Keller
A new fence in Keller, TX typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for vinyl and $4,000-$10,000 for aluminum, and the HOA architectural review will add 2-6 weeks to your calendar before the first post hole gets dug. That review process is the part most national outfits gloss over, and it’s the part that gets Keller homeowners stuck with a fence they have to tear out. We’ve been walking Keller fence projects through HOA submittals for years, and we schedule around the review so your fence goes up once and stays up. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will walk your lot with you, free of charge.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Keller’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and that matters in Keller because the HOA review process rewards a contractor who knows what each community’s architectural committee will actually approve. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. The crew that shows up at your door in Woodland Springs or anywhere else in 76244 or 76248 is Tom’s sons and their team, not a van full of strangers from a call center two time zones away.
When a Keller homeowner calls us about a fence, we answer the phone like a neighbor. We ask which community you’re in, because the HOA rules in Woodland Springs are not the same as the ones in the newer subdivisions off Bear Creek Parkway. That local knowledge saves you weeks. Instead of submitting a packet the committee will bounce, we pre-vet the fence style and stain color against the short list your HOA already keeps on file.
Our Keller fence clients get the same written guarantee every Barrett & Sons job carries: the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no arguing. And for seniors and veterans, we take a permanent 10% off the entire job.
Our Fence Installation Services in Keller
Every fence we build in Keller starts the same way: we check the HOA submittal requirements for your specific community, we verify the post-tension slab setbacks on your lot, and we put the full scope in writing before anything gets ordered. Then we send out Tom’s sons and their crew. Here’s what most Keller homeowners call us for.
Wood Fence
Wood privacy fences are the most common fence type across Keller’s master-planned communities, and most HOAs in 76244 and 76248 have a pre-approved list of styles and stain colors. We build with cedar and set galvanized posts in concrete footings deep enough to handle Keller’s shrink-swell clay. A typical wood fence in Keller runs $3,500-$9,000 depending on linear feet, gate count, and whether we’re pulling an old post-tension-adjacent fence out first.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is less common for front-facing or side-yard fences in Keller’s HOA-governed neighborhoods, but it shows up regularly for rear property lines, pool enclosures, and utility screening. If you’re in an HOA, we’ll check first. Many Keller communities restrict chain link to rear yards only, and some ban it entirely. Better to know before you spend.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Keller runs $3,500-$9,000 and has become the go-to replacement for homeowners tired of staining wood every other spring. Vinyl holds up well in the North Texas heat, but the real issue is post depth. Keller’s expansive clay heaves after rain and shrinks in summer. A vinyl post set shallow will lean within two seasons. We set posts below the active clay zone and in concrete, which is the only way to keep a vinyl fence straight past its first wet spring.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is a common choice for pool enclosures and front-yard decorative fencing in Keller, and it typically runs $4,000-$10,000. Aluminum won’t rust like iron and doesn’t warp like wood, but Keller HOAs often specify one of two or three approved styles and powder-coat colors. We pull those approved color charts before you commit, so you never order a fence your committee rejects. Aluminum works well near post-tension slab edges because posts can be set with smaller footings, away from cable zones.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Keller Homes
Keller’s housing stock creates a specific set of fence failures that national contractors generally miss until it’s too late. These are the four we walk into most often:
- Skipping the HOA submittal entirely. A homeowner, or a contractor from outside the area, installs a fence without filing the architectural packet. The committee rejects the style or color, and the homeowner is left tearing out a brand-new fence. We file the packet and wait for approval before ordering materials.
- Digging post holes too close to post-tension slab edges. Keller’s homes are overwhelmingly built on post-tension concrete slabs. Cutting or striking one of those cables is a structural problem, and city inspectors flag it at final sign-off. We walk the slab perimeter and mark cable zones before any post hole goes in.
- Underestimating the clay heave. Keller’s expansive clay soil shrinks in summer and swells after rain. Lightweight posts set in shallow concrete lean within two seasons. We set posts deeper and in proper footings, and we note the soil condition in the written scope so there’s no confusion about what “done right” means on your property.
- Approving a fence style the HOA will reject. Homeowners pick a style they like, the contractor builds it, and then the committee shoots it down. In Keller’s established neighborhoods like Woodland Springs, each community often keeps a short list of pre-approved fence styles. We pre-vet those lists before you spend a dime.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Keller
Plan on 2-6 weeks for HOA architectural review in Woodland Springs, depending on when the committee meets and whether the submittal packet is complete the first time. We pre-vet the fence style, stain color, and setbacks against the community’s pre-approved list before we file, which avoids the most common bounce. The review calendar doesn’t have to stall your project; we order materials only after approval, with the change order in writing before anything gets delivered. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the timeline for your specific community.
Most Keller HOAs in 76244 and 76248 approve wood privacy fences with specific stain colors (usually semi-transparent cedar or similar earth tones), and a growing number approve vinyl in pre-selected shades. Aluminum gets approved for pool enclosures and front-yard decorative runs, but typically only in black or dark bronze powder-coat. The specific short list varies by community, so we pull your HOA’s current approved styles before you choose anything.
Yes, with proper planning. Post-tension cables run inside the slab and extending outward in specific zones near the edges. We walk the slab perimeter, identify cable zones from the original slab markings where available, and set fence posts outside those zones with appropriately sized footings. This is standard practice for any experienced Keller fence contractor, and it’s one of the reasons we never skip the slab walk before quoting.
Yes. We prepare and file the HOA architectural submittal packet and pull any required city permit for your Keller fence project. You don’t have to chase your community manager or stand in line at the permit office. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like having him on the job. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll outline the full submittal timeline for your street.
Clay heave. Keller sits on expansive clay that shrinks in the summer heat and swells after rainfall. Posts set in shallow concrete or packed dirt get pushed and pulled until the fence leans, usually within two seasons. In Woodland Springs, we’ve replaced post-tension-slab-adjacent wood fences that had leaned for years; we set new galvanized posts with deeper concrete footings, swapped in a cedar privacy fence with a pre-approved stain color, and filed the HOA packet so the change order was in writing before a single picket went in. That’s the right way to build a fence in Keller. The wrong way shows up after the first wet spring.
If you’re ready to price a fence in Keller, call (877) 610-1318. Ask for Tom. We’ll come out, check your HOA rules, walk the slab, and give you a written estimate you can hold up against anyone else’s. And before you sign anything with any contractor in Keller, look up the license number. Ours is on the truck, on the contract, and on the website.
