Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Rolling Hills Estates’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and Tom Barrett started this company in 1998. Tom’s sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line; it’s who shows up at your gate. Rolling Hills Estates homeowners don’t want a van with an out-of-state phone number on the side. They want a name they can check. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up before you sign anything.
Rolling Hills Estates has its own set of rules for fences, and we’ve sat through enough plan-check reviews here to know them cold. Equestrian trail setbacks, slope-adjacent post depth requirements, the way the city wants drainage shown on the plot plan: it’s all part of working on the peninsula. Our Fence Installation team handles the permit paperwork, schedules the inspection, and doesn’t treat “the city requires” as a surprise you find out about later. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens.
Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom lives twenty minutes from Rolling Hills Estates; if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise in action: if it’s not done right, one call brings him back.
Our Fence Installation Services in Rolling Hills Estates
Fences aren’t one-size-fits-all here, and the four options below cover most of what Rolling Hills Estates homeowners ask us to build or replace.
Wood Fence
Wood is still the most common fence style in Rolling Hills Estates, and for good reason. The ranch and split-level homes built from the late 1950s into the early 1980s look right with a cedar board-on-board or lap fence. On sloping lots, we adjust post spacing and set depths to handle the grade changes without leaving gaps at the bottom that a dog will find in about four minutes. Expect to talk about redwood versus cedar early in the conversation.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the workhorse for keeping borders secure without blocking the view, which matters when your property backs up to one of the city’s equestrian trail easements. We install it with tension wire at the bottom, cemented posts, and gates that don’t sag after the first dry season. For Rolling Hills Estates lots with rear drain swales, we’ll step the fence or run it above grade so water keeps moving downhill.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Rolling Hills Estates usually runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard backyard perimeter, and it’s the lowest-maintenance option we offer. The salt air off the peninsula won’t touch it the way it works on wood. White and tan are the two colors we order most for this area. One note: on slopes over about ten degrees, vinyl needs closer post spacing or a stepped layout, which adds a little to materials.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is the choice when you want a clean sightline and powder-coated finish, ideally with a gate that matches. In Rolling Hills Estates, we see it used a lot along the street side of a property and around pools. The panels come in black and bronze most often. Because the soil here is expansive clay, we set aluminum posts in concrete and let it cure fully before hanging panels, which keeps everything square through the wet winters.
We also handle Kitchen Remodeling in Rolling Hills Estates, Iron Fence, Privacy Fence, Fence Gates, Fence Repair, and Commercial Fencing. If a storm or a vehicle took out a section, we can quote the repair as its own job, not as an excuse to sell you an entire new perimeter.

Trusted Brands We Service in Rolling Hills Estates
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For fence work in Rolling Hills Estates, that means we often specify Ply Gem for vinyl and PGT for aluminum, both names you can pull up from the sofa and research before you commit. If you’re leaning toward a specific Simonton product line for a matching gate frame, we’ll quote it. We keep a healthy stock of common parts for these brands in the shop that serves the peninsula, so a missing hinge or a replacement latch doesn’t turn into a three-week wait.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Rolling Hills Estates Homes
- Rot at the post base near finished grade. Winter atmospheric-river rain saturates the clay soil and holds moisture against cedar and fir posts for weeks. We set posts in crushed rock bases and specify rot-resistant species or steel post anchors to give the fence a real service life.
- Leaning or cracked posts on sloped lots. The same expansive clay that rolls and cracks retaining walls on the peninsula also shifts shallow-set fence posts. We pour deep concrete footings and, on steep drops, use longer posts with additional embedment.
- Gaps under fences that follow a slope without stepping. A fence board that runs parallel to the ground leaves a wedge-shaped gap on grades over ten degrees. We step the panels or use a racked layout so the bottom of the fence actually touches the contour of your lot.
- Rust and finish failure from marine exposure. Rolling Hills Estates sits close enough to the coast that salt air and morning fog eat cheap galvanized hardware. We spec stainless or powder-coated fasteners and hinges on every fence we build here.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Rolling Hills Estates, CA
For a typical Rolling Hills Estates backyard, expect wood fence installation to fall between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on style, footage, and slope. Vinyl runs in the same range. Aluminum fence installation runs $4,000-$10,000. Chain link is usually at the lower end of the $3,500-$9,000 bracket. What moves the number most on the peninsula: the steepness of your lot, whether the city requires a geotech sign-off for post depth, and whether your property line touches an equestrian easement. Every quote you get from us is line-itemed, and any change after you sign is a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the number on paper before you decide anything.
