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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and still answers his own phone. That matters in San Dimas, where homeowners tell us stories about national outfits that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different one after the old fence was already in the dumpster. We do things the opposite way. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work moves forward. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and on fence projects that require a permit, we pull it and get it signed.

Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts and have been background-checked. We live twenty minutes from most San Dimas streets, so when a customer on Via Verde calls about a gate latch that isn’t closing right, we actually want to hear about it. That’s what the 90-Day Done Right Promise means: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. No fine print.

We also publish Tom’s name, address, and license number. You can look all of it up before you sign anything. That’s the L.O.C.A.L. way we’ve operated since day one: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal.

Our Fence Installation Services in San Dimas

Wood Fence

Wood fences are the most common install we do in San Dimas, especially along the ranch-style tract homes south of Arrow Highway. Redwood and cedar both hold up reasonably well here, but the real variable is the footing. San Dimas has pockets of adobe clay that expand and contract with rain, which will heave a post out of plumb in two seasons if the concrete collar isn’t dug deep enough. We set wood posts in concrete below the frost line and use galvanized hardware so the fence doesn’t sag at the gate.

Chain Link Fence

For side yards, dog runs, and pool enclosures, chain link remains the most budget-friendly option in San Dimas. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in 4, 5, and 6 foot heights, and we can match the height of an existing fence so the property line doesn’t look like a patchwork. If you’re near the foothill parcels north of Foothill Boulevard, we also offer slatted chain link for extra privacy without blocking the mountain view.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl has become the most requested fence material in San Dimas over the last decade, and for good reason. It doesn’t warp in the dry summer heat, it won’t rot from sprinkler overspray, and it shrugs off the Santa Ana dust that coats everything else. A typical vinyl privacy fence in San Dimas runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on linear footage and whether you want a gate or decorative post caps. We install solid vinyl, not hollow-core panels that crack when a soccer ball hits them.

Aluminum Fence

Aluminum fencing works well on hillside lots in San Dimas where the grade shifts and wood would need to be stair-stepped. We see a lot of aluminum around pools on properties north of the 210, mostly because it doesn’t rust in the sprinkler splash zone and it meets code for pool barriers. An aluminum fence in San Dimas typically runs $4,000 to $10,000. The material costs more than chain link, but it lasts decades with almost no upkeep.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Dimas

We install and service fences built with materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. Our San Dimas fence projects commonly use quality components from manufacturers like Oldcastle and Quikrete for footings and structural support, with premium hardscape accents available when a fence line meets a paver patio or pool deck. When your new fence butts up against an existing Belgard or Techo-Bloc paver installation, we match the hardscape transition properly instead of leaving a jagged edge. If you’re also considering a full backyard refresh, we handle Driveway & Pavers in San Dimas as part of the same scope, which saves you from coordinating two separate contractors.

Because we’re in San Dimas weekly, we keep common fence parts staged locally. That means a missing gate latch or a damaged rail doesn’t turn into a two-week wait for parts to ship from out of state.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in San Dimas Homes

San Dimas has a few recurring fence problems that a contractor from Pasadena or West Covina might not anticipate. Here’s what we run into most often:

• Adobe clay heaving posts: The soil in parts of San Dimas, particularly the flat grid south of Bonita Avenue, contains expansive clay that swells in wet winters and shrinks in summer. Fence posts set in shallow footings lean within two years. We dig deeper footings and use gravel drainage collars where the soil calls for it.
• Santa Ana wind damage: Wind gusts funneling down the San Gabriel Mountain foothills hit the northern parcels hard. We strain-fix posts with through-bolts on windward sections and recommend kicker posts at gates so the hinge side doesn’t blow out during fall fire season.
• Dual-jurisdiction permitting: Some hillside streets in San Dimas sit partly on City of San Dimas parcels and partly on unincorporated LA County land. The fence setback and permit rules differ between the two. We identify which jurisdiction your parcel falls under before submittal so the project doesn’t stall mid-permit. This is a San Dimas-specific trap that most out-of-town fence companies miss.
• Grades and retaining walls: Custom-graded hillside homes in the northern foothill parcels often have old retaining walls that have shifted. A new fence line that runs along a failing wall needs the wall addressed first, or the fence will ride the settlement with it. We coordinate with the geotech review when the scope requires it.
