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

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When we set posts in Pasadena, the person swinging the hammer is someone whose name is on the truck. That matters in a city where neighbors talk, where a fence line is a shared boundary, and where a bad job on a Craftsman-era lot gets noticed by the whole block.

Pasadena homeowners tend to be detail-minded. They ask about permit requirements, property lines, and whether the neighbor’s contractor actually pulled a survey. We like that. We pull permits on every eligible job and we put every scope and every price change in writing before the work starts, just as we do on Bathroom Remodeling in Pasadena projects. No surprises at the end. If something isn’t done right, our 90-Day Done Right Promise means Tom comes back and fixes it. One call.

Calls to our office are answered by a live person, any hour. Scheduling is coordinated from our Los Angeles office, and crews serve Pasadena directly. You won’t be routed through an out-of-state call center, and you won’t be handed a different price at the door than the one you heard on the phone.

Our Fence Installation Services in Pasadena

Wood Fence

Redwood and cedar are the go-to choices in Pasadena, especially in 91103 and 91104 where the housing stock runs to pre-WWII bungalows. Those neighborhoods in particular reward a fence that looks like it belongs with the house, not just a panel wall dropped from a forklift. If you’re in a Pasadena historic district, material choice can trigger design guidelines, and we handle that paperwork without blinking.

Chain Link Fence

Chain link still shows up on larger lots, side yards, and commercial properties. It’s the right call when you need security, a clear property line, and a price that stays sensible. Galvanized holds up fine in the San Gabriel Valley’s dry summers; powder-coated gives you a cleaner look if your fence faces a street or a neighbor’s kitchen remodeling in Pasadena window.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl fences in Pasadena run $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical yard, and they make sense for homeowners who want privacy without a repainting schedule. They also handle the occasional wind-driven rain we get during Santa Ana season without warping. One honest note: a vinyl fence stands out in an older neighborhood. On a street of 1920s bungalows, we’ll tell you when wood makes better visual sense.

Aluminum Fence

Aluminum gives you the look of iron without the rust, and it’s a strong pick for pool enclosures and front yards where you want the fence to read as architecture, not barrier. In Pasadena, aluminum runs $4,000 to $10,000 depending on height and gate count. It’s also the fence material that survives the foothill wind corridors well, which matters up in 91107 where gusts off the mountains hit harder.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pasadena

We don’t stock mystery materials off the back of a van. Our fence hardware and gate components come from names you can look up, and when your job calls for a coordinated hardscape transition, we also handle Driveway & Pavers in Pasadena using Belgard and Techo-Bloc products. If your fence project is part of a larger exterior plan that grows into something bigger, we can bring the same written-change-order discipline to a Home Additions & ADU in Pasadena scope. And when a fence ties into a remodel at the property line, we carry the same premium brands in those trades too, names like GAF when roofing enters the conversation.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Pasadena Homes

• Historic district review requirements. Bungalow Heaven, Prospect Park, and Madison Heights all carry locally designated historic overlay rules. Put up the wrong fence style and the city will ask you to take it down. We start every eligible job in these zones with the design review process, not after the concrete cures.
• Old-growth redwood posts that just won’t hold. A lot of Pasadena fencing is original to the 1920s and 1930s. When a post rots at ground level, the fix often means digging into dense root systems from mature street trees, which changes the labor picture on repair jobs in 91105 and 91106.
• Property line disputes on zero-lot-line lots. Pasadena’s older parcels are narrow, and fences frequently sit within inches of a neighbor’s structure. A new fence that crosses the line even a few inches becomes a legal headache. We always recommend a survey when the stakes are close.
• Wind damage in foothill zones. The same Santa Ana gusts that strip siding off older homes push fences hard along northern 91103 and 91107. Fence designs that work fine on the flat valley floor in East Pasadena need deeper posts and stronger bracing up against the mountains.
