AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Spring
A new fence in Spring, TX typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, with material choice and linear footage driving most of that range. We install wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum fences across every Spring ZIP code, and most jobs go from first measurement to final walkthrough in under two weeks. If you’re in Spring and your old fence is leaning, rotting at the post line, or just not keeping the neighbor’s dog out anymore, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from Tom Barrett and his sons, who live and work right here in the area.
Spring is a big place. It straddles two counties, two permit offices, and two sets of drainage rules, which means a fence that works fine off Gosling Road may not fly over in the Woodlands-adjacent ZIPs. We know the difference because we drive these streets every week. We’re not a call center handing your job to a stranger. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, a family-owned crew that has been in business since 1998, and when you call about fence installation in Spring, you talk to a person who knows what the clay soil does to post footings out here.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Spring’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded the company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When we say we’re local, we mean it. You’ll see our trucks on Rayford Road, along Sawdust, and through the neighborhoods off Birnham Woods. We answer our own phone, and a live person picks up 24/7, not a voicemail box in another state.
Spring homeowners call us because they’re tired of national outfits that quote one number on the phone and show up with another. We publish our pricing, put every change order in writing, and back every job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s the whole promise, and it’s on the contract, not buried in fine print.
We pull permits on every eligible job. We’ve dealt with both Harris County and Montgomery County building departments, and we know which side of the county line you’re on before we even measure for posts. That knowledge saves Spring homeowners from re-do fees, failed inspections, and the kind of surprises that show up when a crew from outside the area guesses wrong.
Our Fence Installation Services in Spring
Wood Fence Installation
Cedar and pressure-treated pine fences remain the most popular choice across Spring’s 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods, where homeowners in 77380 and 77381 often want the same horizontal or dog-ear style they grew up with. We build wood fences with post settings deep enough to handle Houston’s wet-dry clay cycles, because we’ve seen what a shallow post does after one summer of shrink and one fall of swell. A basic wood privacy fence in Spring runs $3,500 to $6,500 for a typical backyard.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl has taken over a lot of the newer subdivisions along the Spring Creek corridor, especially where HOAs require a clean, uniform look. It holds up better against the humidity and doesn’t warp the way untreated wood does after three or four Augusts. Vinyl fence installation in Spring typically runs $4,500 to $8,000, depending on panel height and gate count. The extra cost over wood buys you zero annual staining and no termite worries.
Chain Link Fence Installation
For homeowners in the 77382 and 77383 ZIPs who need to secure a side yard, dog run, or pool area without blocking sight lines, chain link still earns its place. Galvanized and vinyl-coated options both hold up fine in this climate. We install chain link for $3,500 to $5,500 on most Spring residential lots, and we set the terminal posts in concrete every time, because leaning corners are the first thing that fails out here.
Aluminum Fence Installation
If you have a pool in Spring, Harris County code requires specific barrier height and latching standards, and Montgomery County has its own checklist on the other side of the line. We know both sets of rules. Aluminum fence installation in Spring runs $4,000 to $10,000 for a standard residential pool enclosure, and the powder-coated finish stands up to the heat and standing-moisture conditions that rust cheaper metal fences within a few years.
We also handle Fence Installation of every other type you’d expect: iron, privacy fencing with full coverage, custom gates, and commercial perimeter fencing for churches, daycares, and subdivisions around Spring.

Trusted Brands We Service in Spring
We don’t install mystery materials off a van. For fence and hardscape work across Spring, we source from names you can look up: Techo-Bloc for paver and stone accents, Cambridge Pavers when a fence project borders a patio or walkway, and Quikrete for the concrete that anchors every post in our installations. If you want the fence to match a paver driveway or a sitting wall, our Driveway & Pavers in Spring crew works with the same material palettes. And when a fence project rolls into a bigger backyard plan, we’ll coordinate with the Home Additions & ADU in Spring side of the business so you’re not juggling two contractors and two schedules.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Spring Homes
- Clay soil heave at the post line. Spring sits on Beaumont clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. We see post footings that were set at 18 inches start to lean within two years. We set posts below the active shrink-swell zone and check the drainage plane before we dig.
- Deed restrictions on materials and finishes. The Woodlands-adjacent ZIPs, especially 77380 through 77382, carry strict HOA and community-association rules about fence height, color, and even which way the “pretty side” faces. We pull those guidelines before we price the job, so you don’t get a cease and desist after the concrete cures.
- Hurricane Harvey flood-zone changes. FEMA redrew large parts of the Spring Creek floodplain after 2017. Some properties now require elevated gate clearances or specific open-lattice fencing beneath walls to allow floodwater through. If your parcel sits in one of the revised zones, we’ll flag it and bid accordingly.
- Storm and wind loosening. After a summer of Gulf thunderstorms, we see a lot of fences with popped nails, sagging gates, and rails pulling away from posts. That’s normal wear for this climate. We’ll tell you honestly whether a repair buys you five more years or whether it’s time to replace the whole run.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Spring, TX
A full fence replacement on a standard Spring residential lot runs $3,500 to $9,000. Wood comes in at the lower end, aluminum and premium vinyl at the higher end. Linear footage is the real driver, so a deep Rayford Road lot with a 200-foot perimeter will push past $9,000, while a small backyard in a 77381 patio home might land around $4,000. Gate hardware, post depth, permit fees, and access all affect the final number, and we write all of that out in a line-item quote before you sign anything. No allowance games. No surprise invoices. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property with you and hand you a written price.

Yes. We work across 77380, 77381, 77382, and 77383, from the Harris County side near I-45 up through the Montgomery County communities near The Woodlands. If you’re in Spring and have a fence that needs attention, you’re in our service area.
Prices are comparable to the broader Houston market. What changes by location is permit complexity, and some Montgomery County portions of Spring carry Woodlands Community Association review requirements that can add time to a job. We account for that in the written quote so you see it before you commit.
Every fence we install carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a post shifts, a gate sags, or a panel fails within 90 days, Tom comes back and fixes it. One call. No forms. No runaround.
We do. Fences in both Harris and Montgomery County portions of Spring can require permits depending on height, location, and HOA jurisdiction.
