AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across North Hollywood
Fence installation in North Hollywood typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard residential yard, with wood fences landing on the lower end and aluminum or iron on the higher end. Most jobs take 2-5 days once we’re on site, depending on terrain, post-setting depth, and whether the old fence needs hauling first. Barrett & Sons Construction serves all four North Hollywood ZIP codes (91605, 91606, 91609, 91611) with crews that know the soil, the setback rules, and the permitting quirks this neighborhood throws at you. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written line-item quote before anything gets scheduled.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Hollywood’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’re the owner-operated alternative to the national outfits that quote one number over the phone and show up with another. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call about a fence along Coldwater Canyon Avenue or a privacy screen off Vineland, the person answering knows North Hollywood because he’s worked here for decades. Our Fence Installation team pulls permits when the job calls for it, issues written change orders before any scope change touches the work, and backs every completed fence with the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not right, Tom comes back, one call.
We hear the same story from customers between the NoHo Arts District and the 170 freeway: a previous contractor said permits weren’t necessary, then vanished when the fence leaned. That doesn’t happen with us. Every job gets the same treatment whether it’s a 40-foot chain link run behind a 1960s garden apartment complex or a 200-foot redwood privacy fence on a postwar single-family lot near Burbank Boulevard. Tom’s name and license number are published and verifiable. Ask anyone on your street, or look it up yourself.
Our Fence Installation Services in North Hollywood
Wood Fence Installation
Wood remains the most common residential fence in North Hollywood, and for good reason. The neighborhood’s 1950s-60s stucco-and-wood-frame houses look natural behind a cedar or redwood fence, and wood pricing stays accessible. We build stockade, board-on-board, and horizontal slat designs, with pressure-treated posts set below grade and concrete footings sized for the Valley’s shifting clay soils. A typical 150-linear-foot cedar privacy fence in the 91605 area runs $3,500-$7,000.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link is the workhorse for North Hollywood’s dense multi-family housing stock. Garden apartment complexes from the 1960s and 70s along Lankershim and Tujunga often need galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link to secure parking areas, dumpster enclosures, and property lines. We install 4-6 foot heights with terminal posts, tension wire, and gates that actually close and latch. Chain link is the fastest install we do, and it’s the most budget-friendly option for large perimeters.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl fencing works particularly well for North Hollywood homeowners who want privacy without the maintenance cycle that our dry, hot summers force onto wood. Vinyl never needs staining, won’t warp when the temp hits 105 in July, and stands up to the Valley’s intense UV exposure better than untreated lumber. Expect vinyl fence installation in North Hollywood to run in that same $3,500-$9,000 range depending on style and footage.
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum is the choice when the fence is more about defining the property line than screening it. It’s popular for front yards, pool enclosures, and drive gates throughout 91606 and 91611. We use powder-coated residential-grade aluminum panels, not the thin commercial stuff that dents when a gate swings. Pricing for aluminum fence in North Hollywood lands between $4,000-$10,000 for a typical residential project.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Hollywood
We don’t install mystery materials off the back of a van. For fence-adjacent hardscape and gate work we use Belgard and Techo-Bloc products, and where roofing or drainage ties into a fence project we run GAF materials. The point is simple: you should be able to look up every product we put on your property. We keep common replacement parts for the fence brands we carry stocked for fast turnaround when a North Hollywood gate or section needs repair, so you’re not waiting on a shipped component from out of state.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in North Hollywood Homes
- Soft or shifting ground near storm drains: North Hollywood sits on Valley alluvium, and lots near Tujunga Wash or the LA River channels settle unevenly. We over-dig post holes and add gravel drainage bases so the fence doesn’t lean after two winters, a fix most national installers skip.
- Setback confusion on narrow lots: Many postwar North Hollywood homes sit on 50-foot-wide parcels where property lines butt right up against driveways and garages. We verify setbacks against LA City code before we dig, because a fence two inches over the line is a tear-down.
- Sun-bleached and heat-warped materials: The Valley heat island pushes summer highs past 105°F routinely from June through September. Untreated fir and thin vinyl from big-box stores warp and chalk within two seasons. We spec materials rated for inland Valley UV exposure.
- Retrofit flags when pulling permits: If you’re in a 91601-91606 ZIP and your building is in LA’s soft-story compliance database with unresolved Tier 1 retrofit work, LADBS may fence-sit (pun intended) on issuing your fence permit until it’s resolved. We navigate that bureaucratic wrinkle constantly, and we’ll tell you before you pay for plans.
Pricing for Fence Installation in North Hollywood, CA
Here’s the straight math for North Hollywood fence work. Wood privacy fences run $3,500-$7,000 for a typical 150-foot residential run. Vinyl lands in that same $3,500-$9,000 band depending on style and post reinforcement. Aluminum runs $4,000-$10,000. Chain link is the value play at $2,500-$6,000 for comparable footage. What moves the number: linear footage, post depth on your soil, old fence demolition and hauling, whether LADBS requires a permit, and whether we hit buried concrete from a previous install. You’ll get a written line-item quote before we schedule, and every price change arrives as a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for your free estimate.
