AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lehigh Acres
Fence installation in Lehigh Acres typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, depending on material, linear footage, and whether the lot sits in one of the older grid sections or a newer eastern subdivision. Most wood and vinyl privacy fences take 2 to 4 days once materials arrive, and we schedule most Lehigh Acres projects within two to three weeks of the signed contract. If you’re standing on a cleared lot off Gunnery Road or a 1960s CBS home near Leeland Heights Boulevard, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the line with you before anything gets quoted.
Lehigh Acres is not a typical fence town. Tens of thousands of parcels across those 96 square miles are still vacant, and the ones with homes range from original 1960s block construction to mid-2000s production builds and post-Ian rebuilds. Each situation changes how a fence goes in: where the water table saturates post holes near the drainage canals, how far back the county’s utility easement runs, whether the lot even has a survey pin visible at the corner. We know those grids, we know those soil conditions, and we know the difference between a fence that stands through hurricane season and one that leans by Thanksgiving.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lehigh Acres’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. When a Lehigh Acres homeowner calls about a fence, they talk to a person who has walked property lines in 33976, 33936, 33970, and 33971 for decades. Not a call center. Not a rotating estimator. Tom or one of his sons comes out, looks at the lot, and writes a scope in writing before anyone asks for a deposit.
Our crews work Lehigh Acres regularly, and they know the area’s quirks. The flat terrain and high water table mean a post hole dug without gravel base and proper concrete collar will shift within a season. The eastern sections near the canal network drain slower, and fence installers who don’t account for that leave customers with warped pickets and sagging gates. We adjust for it on every job, and we put it in the written plan.
Every Lehigh Acres fence job from Barrett & Sons includes permits pulled when required by Lee County and inspections signed when the county sends an inspector out. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into the contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number for a reason.
Our Fence Installation Services in Lehigh Acres
Wood Fence Installation
Wood fences remain the most common choice in Lehigh Acres, especially for the older 1960s and 70s CBS homes where owners want heat-tolerant privacy without a completely solid wall. We build pressure-treated pine and cedar fences with concrete-set posts, and on low-lying lots near the drainage canals we add gravel drainage at the post base so standing water doesn’t rot the lumber from below. Expect $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential wood fence in Lehigh Acres, depending on height and linear feet.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link is the workhorse for Lehigh Acres lots that need boundary definition first and privacy second, which is a lot of them. The scattered-lot nature of the grid means plenty of homeowners want to mark the line without blocking sightlines to an empty parcel next door. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in 4- and 6-foot heights, with concrete anchoring that holds in the sandy, high-water-table soil common across 33971 and 33976. A standard residential chain link fence in Lehigh Acres runs $3,500 to $7,500 installed.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl has become a strong option for Lehigh Acres homeowners who lived through Hurricane Ian and don’t want to repaint or replace wood every few years. Vinyl privacy and semi-privacy styles handle the inland heat well, with no fading from the sustained sun exposure the area gets without a coastal breeze. We install solid vinyl post systems with deeper concrete footings than code minimum in the eastern sections where the water table rises after heavy rain. Typical vinyl fences in Lehigh Acres run $4,000 to $9,000.
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum makes sense for pool enclosures and for homes where the fence is a visual boundary rather than a privacy screen. Lee County pool code requires specific height and self-latching gate standards, and we pull the permit and get the inspection signed rather than leaving you to wonder whether your pool fence is legal. A spec-grade aluminum fence in Lehigh Acres runs $4,000 to $10,000 installed, with the higher end reflecting ornamental styles and custom gates.
We also handle fence gates, fence repair, privacy fence upgrades, and commercial fencing across all four Lehigh Acres ZIP codes. If the fence is down and the dog is out, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get someone on the schedule fast.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lehigh Acres
We install named material, not generic off-brand product, because a fence in Lehigh Acres has to survive heat, humidity, and hurricane season. For vinyl and aluminum lines, we work with Ply Gem and PGT materials, brands you can look up and verify before signing anything. For impact-rated fence-adjacent enclosure work, we stock PGT and CGI components locally for faster turnaround on Lehigh Acres orders. If a manufacturer covers a product warranty, you get that warranty paperwork with your contract, along with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lehigh Acres Homes
- Rotting wood posts in low-lying eastern sections: The flat terrain and drainage canal network around 33971 and eastern 33936 hold water after summer storms. Posts set without gravel base and proper concrete crowns rot at ground level within three to five years. We set every post with drainage and crown the concrete so water runs away from the wood.
- Unmarked property lines on infill lots: Because Lehigh Acres is one of the largest pre-platted grids in the country, many lots were sold decades ago without a survey pin ever being set. We require a survey or locate existing pins before any post hole goes in, otherwise a fence can end up three feet onto a neighbor’s parcel.
- Shallow concrete footings in sandy soil: The soil profile across much of Lehigh Acres is sandy fill over a high water table. A fence company that sets posts in 18 inches of concrete instead of 30 will leave you with a leaning fence after one wet season. We dig to depth and pour to depth, every time.
- Post-Ian repairs that never got done right: A large portion of extant fencing in Lehigh Acres was damaged or entirely destroyed by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. We regularly replace partial sections where the original posts were re-set crooked in a rush, or where mismatched picket materials were installed as a stopgap. If your fence line looks like a patchwork quilt, we can square it up.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Lehigh Acres, FL
A new wood or vinyl privacy fence in Lehigh Acres runs $3,500 to $9,000; chain link runs $3,500 to $7,500; aluminum runs $4,000 to $10,000; and a standard driveway gate addition adds $800 to $2,500 depending on automation and width. The biggest price drivers are linear footage, fence height, gate count, and whether the lot sits in a low section where we need deeper footings and additional fill. Wet-season installs can add schedule days, but we don’t add surprise change orders.
Every quote comes as a written line-item scope, and every allowance is on paper before the first post hole is dug. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your Lehigh Acres property, measure the line, and hand you a number you can hold us to.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Lehigh Acres
We schedule estimates across Lehigh Acres within one to two business days, and calls to (877) 610-1318 are answered by a live person around the clock. Tom or one of his sons will meet you on the property, walk the line, and get you a written number on the spot whenever the lot conditions allow. No trip charge applies inside Lee County, including all four Lehigh Acres ZIP codes.
We cover the entire Lehigh Acres grid: 33976, 33936, 33970, and 33971, including areas around Gunnery Road, Leeland Heights Boulevard, Homestead Road, and the canal-adjacent sections in the east. Whether you’re in an original 1960s CBS subdivision or a post-2005 production development, we know the utility corridors, the easement rules, and the soil under your lot.
If a fence section came down after a hurricane or tropical storm and the property is unsecured, call us first and we’ll get a temporary panel in place to keep pets and kids contained until permanent replacement materials arrive. Lehigh Acres took heavy inland damage from Ian, and we understand that a down fence isn’t just an inconvenience when the whole neighborhood is repairing at once. That said, fencing is not like roof tarping: schedule your urgent repair early in storm season so no one gets left waiting.
Lehigh Acres pricing runs about the same or slightly lower than coastal Fort Myers on a per-linear-foot basis, mostly because there’s less property-line ambiguity on the platted grid lots. The difference is not big enough to shop on price alone. What changes more is material selection: wood and chain link dominate in Lehigh Acres, while coastal areas lean heavier into vinyl and aluminum. A typical Lehigh Acres wood fence runs $3,500 to $9,000, and we recommend comparing quotes on the same material spec rather than chasing the lowest number.
Every Barrett & Sons fence job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if the fence isn’t right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Manufacturer warranties on Ply Gem, PGT, and CGI materials transfer to you with the paperwork. And any Lehigh Acres fence project that requires a Lee County permit gets it pulled and inspected before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him.
