AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lake Dallas
Fence installation in Lake Dallas typically runs between $3,500 and $9,000 for a standard residential lot, and most wood or vinyl projects wrap up within three to five working days once materials arrive. If you live near the lake, plan for a few extra days because the Army Corps of Engineers flowage easement can require additional permitting review before posts go in the ground. Barrett & Sons Construction has built fences throughout the 75065 zip code, from the older cottages on the southern shore to newer builds off Main Street. Call Tom Barrett’s team at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with pricing in writing before any work starts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lake Dallas’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Barrett & Sons has served residents across Denton County for over 29 years with the same owner-operated approach Tom Barrett started in 1998. When a crew pulls up to a job on Hundley Drive or along Shady Shores Road, it’s Tom’s sons and their team, not a rotating cast of strangers. Every fence job includes a written scope, a written change order process for any adjustment, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract. If a gate sags or a post shifts, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Lake Dallas homeowners call us because they know the name on the truck matches the name on the license. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number so you can verify him before signing anything. A live person answers (877) 610-1318 at any hour, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. We’ve built privacy fences near Willow Grove Park, replaced chain link around rental properties along I-35E, and installed aluminum fencing on lakefront lots where the Corps easement complicated things. We know which side of the property line the easement falls on, and we check it before the first posthole gets dug.
Our Fence Installation Services in Lake Dallas
Wood Fence
Cedar and pressure-treated pine privacy fences remain the most common choice across Lake Dallas, especially for homes in the 1960s and 1970s lakeside cottage neighborhoods where privacy matters more than curb appeal from the street. The Vertisol clay soil here means posts need to be set deeper than standard, usually 24 to 30 inches, and we use concrete footings to resist the shrink-swell cycle that arrives every dry summer. A standard 6-foot cedar privacy fence in Lake Dallas typically runs $3,500 to $7,500 depending on footage and gate count.
Chain Link Fence
For homeowners along Lewisville Lake’s southern shoreline who want to keep the view open, galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link is a practical pick. Chain link holds up well to the moisture swings near the water and doesn’t block the breeze off the lake. In Lake Dallas, a standard 4-foot chain link fence on a quarter-acre lot usually falls between $1,800 and $4,200, making it the most budget-friendly option we install.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fencing has gained ground in Lake Dallas over the last decade, particularly for newer infill construction near Corinth Parkway and along the Denton County side of the lake. It resists the summer UV exposure that can fade or crack wood, and it never needs staining. A vinyl privacy fence in Lake Dallas generally runs $4,500 to $9,000, with the higher end covering taller panels, decorative post caps, and multiple gates. We use Ply Gem and Simonton materials on vinyl jobs, so you can look up exactly what’s going in your yard.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fencing suits Lake Dallas homeowners who need a barrier that won’t rust near the water. We see it often on lakefront lots where an ornamental look is preferred and on corner lots where visibility matters. Aluminum fence installation in Lake Dallas typically costs $4,000 to $10,000, depending on grade, height, and whether you’re adding driveway gates. The bigger the gate opening, the more the posts and hardware matter, and we spec those properly the first time.
We also handle iron fence, fence gates, fence repair, and commercial fencing throughout Lake Dallas. For a complete look at the fence installation services we offer across the area, visit our Fence Installation hub page.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lake Dallas
Barrett & Sons stocks and installs fencing materials from brands you can verify: Simonton, Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI. That matters because a lot of fence contractors put mystery-brand vinyl panels on your property and you won’t know the difference until the Florida-style heat does its work. We keep common replacement pickets, gate hardware, and post caps on hand for Lake Dallas jobs, which means faster repair turnarounds when a storm or a neighbor’s truck backs into your fence. If you need fence work done alongside a hardscape project, we also handle Driveway & Pavers in Lake Dallas, and if your fence project is part of a bigger backyard plan with a new structure, our Home Additions & ADU in Lake Dallas team coordinates with the same crew.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lake Dallas Homes
- Clay soil post heave. Lake Dallas sits on Denton County’s expansive Vertisol clay, which shrinks in July and August and swells after spring storms. Posts set at shallow depths shift, gates stop latching, and fence lines go wavy. We set posts deep and use concrete collars so your fence line stays straight through the seasonal cycle.
- Corps of Engineers easement surprises. Several lots near the shoreline carry a flowage easement that extends beyond the visible waterline. A fence planned without checking that boundary can end up in a stop-work situation. We verify the easement before we quote, not after we’ve dug the first hole.
- Rot at the post base on older fences. Many 1960s-era lakeside cottages still have original wooden fencing that’s been patched over the years. The soil-moisture variability near the shoreline means post bases rot faster here than on higher ground inland. We replace the entire post, not just the visible section above ground.
- Wind load on flat lakefront lots. Waterfront lots catch stronger sustained winds than interior neighborhoods. A 6-foot privacy fence acts like a sail, so we use heavier-gauge posts and additional mid-rail bracing on exposed lake-facing fence lines.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Lake Dallas, TX
A typical vinyl fence installation in Lake Dallas runs $3,500 to $9,000, aluminum runs $4,000 to $10,000, wood runs $3,500 to $7,500, and chain link runs $1,800 to $4,200. Your final number depends on linear footage, fence height, gate count, whether we’re removing old fencing, and whether the lot carries a flowage easement that requires extra survey time. A fence repair, like replacing a sagging gate or a few rotted posts, usually runs $400 to $1,800. We write every allowance and every change order on paper before work proceeds, so the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay.
