AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across North Palm Beach
Fence installation in North Palm Beach typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential lot, with timing driven more by HOA approval and wind-load ratings than by crew availability. We work the village regularly, so we know what the North Palm Beach Country Club area, the canals off Prosperity Farms Road, and the waterfront streets east of US-1 each demand from a fence that has to hold up in 170 mph design winds and salt air. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the scope and the price in writing before anything gets ordered.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Palm Beach’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews across North Palm Beach today. That matters because the person who shakes your hand on the estimate is the same person you’ll see walking the line before the gate goes in. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible fence job in the village, not because the village always asks, but because a fence that fails the first wind event is a fence we’d have to come back and fix on our own dime.
Our Fence Installation team has left a trail of straight post lines and square gate frames throughout 33408. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No subs in unmarked vans. No change orders hiding in the final invoice. If a price moves, it moves on paper first, with your signature on it. That’s how we’ve operated for 29 years, and it’s why homeowners who have been burned by the big-box installers end up calling us from Palm Beach Gardens and Lake Park too.
Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We publish Tom’s name, address, and license number because we want you to check before you sign anything. A live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 around the clock, not an out-of-state call center.
Our Fence Installation Services in North Palm Beach
Wood Fence
Wood fences dominate the western blocks of North Palm Beach, where ranch homes from the 1960s and 1970s still set the streetscape. We build with pressure-treated pine posts set in concrete below grade, and we use stainless or polymer-coated fasteners throughout because salt air off the Lake Worth Lagoon will eat a galvanized screw in five years. Expect $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical North Palm Beach lot, depending on footage and gate count.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link still makes sense for canal-side yards where you want the view and the breeze, not a wall. North Palm Beach’s finger canals and fill lots mean we often dig test holes before setting posts, because some of these yards have limestone or old fill just a foot down. A vinyl-coated chain link fence in North Palm Beach runs toward the lower end of the $3,500 to $9,000 range for most lots, and the coating matters here if you don’t want rust streaks in three years.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is the lowest-maintenance choice on a salt-corridor lot, and it’s the fence we recommend most often east of US-1. North Palm Beach’s wind-load requirements push us toward thicker-walled vinyl rails and posts rated for Palm Beach County’s coastal zone, which is not what the big-box kits are built for. A vinyl privacy fence in North Palm Beach typically falls between $4,000 and $9,000, depending on style and gate hardware.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum works beautifully around North Palm Beach pools and along canal seawalls, where it handles salt air far better than steel. The range here is $4,000 to $10,000 because most of these jobs include decorative panels, drive gates, and pool-code latches. We set aluminum posts in concrete and match the panel spacing to the wind zone, so you get a fence that looks right and doesn’t sing in a storm.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Palm Beach
We install and stand behind materials from PGT and Ply Gem, two names you can look up and verify, not mystery brands off a van. For North Palm Beach’s coastal wind zone, PGT’s impact-rated aluminum panels and gates are a natural fit, and Ply Gem’s vinyl lines give us depth on privacy fences. When parts are needed, we source locally in Palm Beach County, so we aren’t waiting on a truck from Georgia to finish your gate.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in North Palm Beach Homes
- Shallow posts on old fill lots. Many canal-front homes in North Palm Beach sit on fill placed decades ago, and posts set in loose or watery soil start leaning within two years. We dig deeper, use concrete collars, and on flagged lots we’ll recommend a soil check before bidding.
- Salt-air fastener failure. Standard galvanized screws and hinges corrode fast within a block of the Intracoastal. We spec stainless or coated fasteners on every exterior fence in 33408, because replacing a rusted gate hinge six months in is a call we don’t want to get.
- Unpermitted fences on nonconforming lots. The village’s original planned build-out left some lots with setbacks that don’t match current code. We pull permits and confirm setbacks before we dig so you don’t get a code enforcement letter after the fence is up.
- Wind-rated panels installed as decorative-only. A fence that looks nice but isn’t rated for Palm Beach County’s 170 mph design wind speed becomes a liability in the first named storm. We order every panel and post for the coastal zone, not the inland spec.

FAQs - Fence Installation in North Palm Beach
We can usually be in North Palm Beach within a day or two to walk the line, and because there’s no trip charge inside the county, the estimate costs you nothing. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set a time that works.
Yes, we cover the whole village, including the finger canals off the Intracoastal, the Country Club area, and the streets west of US-1 up to the Gardens line. Canal-front lots and fill lots may need a deeper post detail or a soil check, and we’ll tell you that before you sign.
Yes, if a storm drops a tree on your fence or a panel pulls loose, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get someone out. High-wind fence repair is a safety issue on a lot with kids or pets, so we treat those calls with priority.
Slightly, because North Palm Beach sits in Palm Beach County’s high-velocity hurricane zone, which requires stronger posts, thicker panels, and impact-rated hardware than inland jobs. A typical fence here runs $3,500 to $9,000, and the wind rating is a big part of why we won’t quote bottom-tier materials on the coastal side of the village.
Every fence job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. That’s on the contract, not buried in fine print. Workmanship issues beyond 90 days are handled case by case, and we’ve been around since 1998, so you’ll be able to reach us.
If you’re ready to see actual numbers instead of a phone quote that changes when the crew shows up, call (877) 610-1318. We’ll walk your property, price the fence in writing, and pull the permit before we dig. And if something isn’t right when we’re done, you have Tom Barrett’s word on paper, not a voicemail.
