AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Loomis
Most fence projects in Loomis run between $3,500 and $9,000 for a typical residential lot, with vinyl and wood privacy fences landing most often in the $4,000 to $7,000 range. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, a family-run company that’s been installing and repairing fences since 1998, and our crews are in Loomis regularly throughout the month. If you’re dealing with a fence that’s rotten at the posts, leaning after the last winter storm, or simply showing its age along your property line off King Road or Horseshoe Bar Road, call Tom at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. We’ll walk your property, talk through the right material for your lot, and give you a written price before anything gets scheduled.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Loomis’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his name is on the truck, the contract, and the license. That’s not a gimmick. When you call about fence work in Loomis, you’re talking to someone who lives twenty minutes away and wants to see you at the hardware store without crossing the street. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and the same sons who run our job sites are the ones who answer when something needs a second look during the 90-Day Done Right Promise window.
We don’t dispatch strangers. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we pull permits on every eligible fence job that needs one. If a fence is going up near a property line in a Placer County wildland-urban interface zone, the last thing you want is a contractor who treats code compliance like an afterthought. We’ve seen too many Loomis homeowners get burned by national outfits that quoted one price on the phone and changed it at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work moves forward.
We’ve put up wood fences, vinyl privacy fences, chain link, and aluminum fencing all over Loomis, from the ranchette parcels along Val Verde Road to the older neighborhoods near Taylor Road and the railroad-era streets around the downtown core. We know how the heavy clay soil here behaves when a post hole goes in. We know what the rain does to an untreated fir post after two winters. You can ask anyone on your street about us, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Fence Installation team serves Loomis with the same owner-operated approach we’ve used for nearly three decades.
Our Fence Installation Services in Loomis
Wood Fence
Wood fences are the most common thing we install in Loomis, and for good reason. A well-built cedar or redwood privacy fence fits the look of a 1960s ranch house on a big lot better than anything else. The trick here is the soil. Loomis clay expands when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, which means posts set in shallow concrete will heave and lean within a few seasons. We set posts below the frost line and use proper drainage at the base. A typical wood privacy fence in Loomis runs $3,500 to $8,000 depending on linear feet and whether you’re doing gate hardware or a stained finish. Board-on-board, shadowbox, and stockade styles all work well on Loomis lots.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link gets a bad rap, but on a ranchette in Loomis where you’re fencing a dog run, a pool enclosure, or a utility area behind a barn, it’s often the smartest money you’ll spend. Galvanized posts and mesh hold up well to our wet winters and 100-degree summers without warping or rotting. Chain link in Loomis typically runs $2,800 to $6,500. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated options, and we can add privacy slats if you want the function without the full privacy fence cost.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl’s biggest advantage in Loomis is that it doesn’t care about our climate. No rot, no rust, no seasonal moisture cycling. A white or tan vinyl privacy fence looks sharp on the newer custom homes off Sierra College Boulevard and on the larger parcels east of town where maintenance is a chore you’d rather not think about. Vinyl fence installation in Loomis typically falls between $3,500 and $9,000. The material costs more up front than wood, but you won’t be staining it every three years. We install solid vinyl privacy panels, semi-private styles, and vinyl picket options.
Aluminum Fence
For pool enclosures, garden borders, or decorative front-yard fencing in Loomis, aluminum is the practical choice. It won’t rust the way wrought iron will after a few wet winters, and it’s dramatically lighter than steel. Aluminum fence in Loomis runs $4,000 to $10,000 installed, depending on height, panel style, and gates. We do a lot of aluminum around pools in the newer subdivisions near Loomis Basin Charter School and throughout the 95650 zip code, where pool codes matter and a compliant fence isn’t optional.

Trusted Brands We Service in Loomis
We install fence systems and components from manufacturers we can stand behind, and we don’t stick homeowners with mystery materials off a van. For hardscape tie-ins, gate posts, and post bases where a fence meets a paver patio or driveway, we use Belgard and Techo-Bloc products that hold up to Loomis’s wet-dry soil cycles better than generic box-store equivalents. If you’re running a fence along a driveway or tying into a paver walkway, we also handle Driveway & Pavers in Loomis so the transition from fence line to hardscape looks intentional, not patched together. We keep common post caps, gate hinges, and hardware stocked for fast turnaround on Loomis repair jobs.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Loomis Homes
- Heaving and leaning posts from shrink-swell clay. Loomis’s expansive clay soil soaks up winter rain, swells, then shrinks hard through our 98-degree summer days. Shallow-set posts in a thin concrete collar won’t survive that cycle. We see fences leaning no more than two or three years after installation. Proper post depth and drainage solve it.
- Rot at the post base from wet winters. Untreated or poorly-treated posts buried in Loomis’s winter-saturated soil will rot at ground level faster than homeowners expect. We use pressure-treated, cedar, or steel-reinforced post options, and we set them in a way that keeps water moving away from the wood.
- Wildfire-resistant fencing confusion in the WUI zone. A lot of Loomis sits in Placer County’s High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That means a fence replacement near the oak woodland edges can trigger a WUI review that homeowners don’t expect. We know when a fence line is close enough to the wildland edge to matter, and we’ll flag it before you’re surprised by an inspector.
- Improper gate posts on sloped ranchette lots. Loomis has plenty of gently sloped, multi-acre parcels where a gate post takes a lot of live load from a heavy farm gate or a wide double gate. Undersized posts or weak post-to-gate hardware lead to sag and drag. We size gate posts for the gate they’ll actually carry, not the minimum that looks fine on paper.

A typical residential fence installation in Loomis runs $3,500 to $9,000. Wood privacy fencing usually lands between $3,500 and $8,000. Vinyl runs $3,500 to $9,000, and aluminum is $4,000 to $10,000. Chain link is the budget end at $2,800 to $6,500.

Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote you can compare against anything else in town.

Loomis fence pricing runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential install, which is in line with what we see in Granite Bay and Rocklin. The difference in Loomis is usually the soil prep and occasional WUI compliance review, which can add a few hundred dollars to a job that wouldn’t trigger those requirements in a valley city.
