AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Parkway
Most fence jobs in Parkway run between $3,500 and $9,000 for a typical 150 to 200 linear foot backyard, and we can usually have a crew on your street within a few days of the first phone call. Parkway sits in unincorporated Sacramento County, so every fence permit runs through the county’s Building Inspection Division, not the City of Sacramento. That distinction matters more than most homeowners expect, and it’s exactly the kind of thing we handle every week. If you’re ready to talk about your fence, call Tom directly at (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Parkway’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When we say we know Parkway, we mean we know the 95823 streets off Florin Road, the blocks near the Cosumnes River corridor, and the ranch-style tract homes that define this community. We’re not a franchise sending strangers to your door. You’ll see Tom’s name on the truck, and you’ll likely see him on-site checking post depth and gate swing before the concrete ever goes in the hole.
Parkway homeowners have been burned before by national outfits that quote one number over the phone and hand over a different invoice at the finish. That doesn’t happen here. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t happen. And every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something’s not right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no runaround.
We back that with the kind of local accountability you only get when the owner lives nearby. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and a live person answers the phone 24/7. You won’t get a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center.
Our Fence Installation Services in Parkway
Wood Fence
Wood remains the most common fence we install in Parkway, and for good reason. The 1970s and 80s tract homes throughout 95823 sit on lots that feel more private with a solid cedar or redwood fence. But Parkway’s Sacramento Valley summers push past 105°F, and that heat, followed by winter rains, warps cheap lumber fast. We use kiln-dried posts and galvanized hardware that hold straight through the seasonal cycle. A typical wood fence in Parkway runs $3,500 to $8,000 depending on height, style, and soil conditions.
Chain Link Fence
For side yards, dog runs, or property lines where privacy matters less than durability, chain link is the practical choice. Parkway’s expansive clay soil heaves with moisture changes, and a properly tensioned chain link fence rides those shifts without cracking. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link with 2-3/8″ line posts set in concrete. Most Parkway chain link jobs range from $2,800 to $6,500.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl has grown steadily in Parkway because it doesn’t rot, doesn’t need paint, and shrugs off the valley’s heat better than most people expect. The tradeoff is that vinyl is quieter, cleaner, and needs almost no maintenance for 20-plus years. We install routed, steel-reinforced vinyl privacy panels that don’t warp under the summer sun. In Parkway, expect vinyl fence installation between $4,000 and $9,000 for a standard backyard. For a deeper look at what this material costs, see our full Fence Installation guide.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum makes sense around pools, front yards, and anywhere Parkway homeowners want a clean sightline without losing security. The flat, low-lying lots near the southern edge of 95823 benefit from aluminum’s open profile, which lets air move through during those still, hot summer afternoons. We install commercial-grade aluminum with powder-coated finishes in black and bronze. Pricing in Parkway typically falls between $4,000 and $10,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Parkway
We carry fencing materials from brands you can look up, not mystery product off the back of a van. For Parkway projects, we regularly install Ply Gem vinyl systems and PGT aluminum and steel options. Both hold up well in Sacramento Valley conditions, and we stock components locally so replacement pickets or gate hardware don’t leave you waiting weeks. If you’re also working on other parts of the property, we handle Driveway & Pavers in Parkway and Home Additions & ADU in Parkway with the same written-change-order discipline.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Parkway Homes
- Clay soil heaving posts out of plumb. Parkway’s expansive clay absorbs winter moisture and shrinks through the dry season, which slowly tilts shallow-set posts. We dig below the shrink-swell zone and use deeper gravel bases to stop the lean before it starts.
- Rot pockets at the post-to-rail connection. Aging 70s and 80s fences throughout 95823 often fail where horizontal rails meet posts, especially on north-facing sections that hold moisture longer after winter rain. We replace with pressure-treated or cedar components and add metal brackets where needed.
- Fence lines that drift off property boundaries. Older Parkway subdivisions have survey pins buried, shifted, or gone entirely. We pull a property survey before setting posts so your new fence stays on your lot and doesn’t create a future dispute with the neighbor.
- Gate sag from undersized hinges. The constant summer heat and dry air can crack wood gates, then winter moisture adds weight. We build gates on steel frames with adjustable hinges so they open true in every season.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Parkway, CA

If the job includes demolition, haul-away, or permits through Sacramento County, those line items appear on the written estimate before you sign anything. No surprises, ever.

No. Parkway is unincorporated Sacramento County, so fence permits run through Sacramento County’s Building Inspection Division, not the City of Sacramento. It’s a common point of confusion for contractors who mostly work in adjacent city neighborhoods. We handle county permitting on every eligible job and pull the permit before the first post hole goes in.
