Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Margate’s Preferred Fence Installation Company

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 on a simple promise: the name on the truck is the name who answers the phone. That still holds when Margate homeowners call. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom’s sons run the crews, and most days one of them is on-site in Margate, not in a regional office somewhere. Our Fence Installation team works from the Miami office for scheduling, but the men driving to Margate live here in South Florida and know what these lots look like after a July downpour.

Margate homeowners don’t want the cheapest bid. They want a fence that stays plumb, permits that were actually pulled, and a contractor who’ll answer the phone in October when a post shifts. That’s what we do. Every fence job in Margate gets a written scope before we dig, a written change order before any price moves, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on the contract. If it’s not right, Tom comes back. One call.

Our Fence Installation Services in Margate

Wood Fence

Wood fences in Margate take a beating from the summer humidity and the wet ground under them. We set pressure-treated posts in concrete footers deep enough to stay put when the soil’s soaked, and we’re picky about the grade of pickets we buy. A standard 6-foot privacy wood fence around a Margate backyard typically starts around $3,500. We’ll tell you honestly if cedar’s worth the upgrade or if pressure-treated pine will serve you better here.

Chain Link Fence

Chain link remains the workhorse for Margate yards and side property lines, especially the older 50-foot-wide lots that dominate this city. It’s the most budget-friendly option, usually $3,500-$5,500 for a full lot, and it handles the wind better than anything solid. Galvanized posts set in concrete will outlast two South Florida hurricane seasons without complaint. For rental properties or anyone who just needs to keep the dog in, this is the sensible pick.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl fencing in Margate has one big advantage: it won’t rot at the soil line the way wood does, and that matters here where the water table sits 12-24 inches down. A full vinyl privacy fence in Margate typically runs $5,000-$9,000 depending on linear feet and gate count. We carry a thicker-wall vinyl than the box stores sell, because the summer UV and the flex from storm winds will find weak vinyl fast. You can pressure-wash it in May and it looks new for the block party.

Aluminum Fence

Aluminum fence installation in Margate runs $4,000-$10,000 and gives you the clean, open sightlines that work well with the mid-century ranch homes that fill this city. It’s popular around pools, and yes, we know Broward County’s pool barrier code, including the self-closing, self-latching gate requirements. Aluminum won’t rust the way iron will in this humidity, and the powder coat holds up against the salt air that drifts in from the coast.

Trusted Brands We Service in Margate

We carry premium fence materials you can look up, not mystery stock off a van. For Margate customers, that includes Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for stone columns and decorative bases that pair with aluminum or vinyl runs, and Quikrete for the concrete mix we use on every post. If you want a fence with pavers under the gate or a stone column look, we order these brands by name and show you the invoice. Parts and panels for common repairs are stocked locally, so a broken gate hinge in Margate doesn’t wait two weeks on a truck from out of state.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Margate Homes

• Posts leaning after summer rains. Margate’s high water table turns the soil under a shallow-set post into soup. We set posts deeper than code minimum and use concrete that can cure in wet ground, because the old fence probably didn’t.
• Rotted wood at the soil line. That 12-24 inches of standing groundwater means the bottom foot of a wood post is the first thing to go. We’ve pulled posts in Margate that were hollow inside while the top looked fine.
• Gates sagging and scraping. Most gate posts in Margate are either undersized or set without enough concrete. A sagging gate isn’t just annoying; it stops latching, and a pool gate that doesn’t latch is a code violation and a safety risk.
• Fences that don’t meet Broward wind load. The city’s inspectors enforce wind-load requirements, and a flimsy panel fence from the old days won’t pass a current permit. If you’re replacing a fence in Margate, we pull the permit and build it to the post-Andrew code the first time.
