AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Sunland Park
A new fence in Sunland Park typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential yard, with vinyl and aluminum falling in that range and wood or chain link sometimes coming in a bit lower depending on footage and terrain. Most jobs wrap up in two to five working days once materials arrive. If you’re calling around for pricing, our number is (877) 610-1318, and a real person answers it.
We work in Sunland Park often enough to know what a colonia-built lot actually looks like when you start digging. That matters more here than it does almost anywhere else in Doña Ana County. Property lines shift, old fence posts sit on concrete poured straight onto caliche, and half the time the ground doesn’t drain the way the neighbors said it would. You don’t learn that from a national call center. You learn it from hauling a post-hole digger through a yard on the west side of Sunland Park in July.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunland Park’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from two states over. Barrett & Sons Construction was founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews that show up at your gate. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he tells every customer the same thing: look it up before you sign anything. That’s the kind of transparency people in Sunland Park tell us they haven’t gotten from the big outfits.
We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible fence job. In a community where so many original structures went up without permits, that’s not a formality. It’s the difference between a fence that’s recorded and one that becomes a problem when you sell the house. We also put every scope, allowance, and price change in writing as a change order before any work happens. No surprise invoices. No “we didn’t know about that corner of your yard” upcharge at the end.
Every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. And yes, we answer the phone 24/7, which matters when a windstorm blows a gate off its hinges at 2 a.m. and your dog is loose on McNutt Road.
Our Fence Installation Services in Sunland Park
Wood Fence
Wood fencing in Sunland Park has to stand up to wind that funnels hard between the Robledo and Franklin Mountains. We build with pressure-treated posts and cedar or pine pickets sized for that kind of exposure, and we set posts deep enough to handle the caliche. If your yard sits on hardpan, we adjust the dig rather than forcing a shallow hole and calling it good. That’s what keeps a wood fence square through five monsoon seasons.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the workhorse of Sunland Park’s colonia lots, and for good reason: it handles wind, it doesn’t rot, and it keeps kids and dogs in without blocking sightlines. We do galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, plus privacy slats if you want a little more separation from the street. A typical residential chain link job here runs on the lower end of the $3,500 to $9,000 range, though corner lots and long runs push it up.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl makes sense in the Chihuahuan Desert because it doesn’t fade the way people expect, and it sheds dust rather than absorbing it. For Sunland Park homeowners tired of restaining wood every other year, vinyl is the low-maintenance answer. We stock white, tan, and clay colors that fit the stucco-heavy look of the area’s older homes without shouting.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fencing pairs well with the single-story stucco homes you see throughout Sunland Park, especially near Anapra and the neighborhoods east of the racetrack. It gives you a clean property line without the weight or rust headache of wrought iron. Aluminum also handles the border-area wind better than hollow steel, which can sing in a strong gust.

We order through suppliers who stock Sunland Park jobs quickly, which means less waiting when a gate kit needs a part the big box stores don’t carry.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Sunland Park Homes
- Caliche stops a post hole at 18 inches. Much of Sunland Park sits on hardpan that looks like concrete. A crew that doesn’t know the area will set shallow posts and walk away, and six months later the wind has the fence leaning. We dig through it or use the right equipment, not just a spud bar and a prayer.
- Old colonia-built property lines don’t match the tax map. A lot of Sunland Park’s original subdivisions went in without surveyed corners or recorded easements. Before we set the first post, we confirm the line with you and, when needed, pull the county record. A fence in the wrong spot is a lot more expensive to move than to measure twice.
- Monsoon runoff undercuts gate posts. The late-summer storms that run off caliche instead of soaking in will erode the ground around a gate post within a season or two. We set gate posts deeper and pack the base with drainage in mind, not just dirt.
- Wind loads snap cheap gate hardware. The gusts that come through the mountain gap between El Paso and Sunland Park will tear the hinges off a lightweight gate kit. We frame gates and use hardware rated for a lot more weight than the gate itself, because around here the wind is the real load.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Sunland Park
How fast can you get to Sunland Park for a fence estimate?
We coordinate Sunland Park scheduling from our metro office and can typically get someone to your property within two to three business days for a walkthrough and written estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will set the time, not a voicemail box. The estimate is free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county.
Do you cover all neighborhoods in Sunland Park?
We work across Sunland Park, including the areas near Anapra, the neighborhoods along McNutt Road, and the residential pockets around the racetrack and casino. Coverage spans ZIP code 88063. If you’re not sure your street is in our normal run, call and we’ll tell you straight.
Can you remove an old colonia-era fence that was never permitted?
Yes, and we see this all the time in Sunland Park. Old wire and post fencing, sometimes set in concrete poured decades ago without any county record, comes up before the new line goes in. We’ll handle the removal and haul-off, and if a boundary question comes up during the work, we stop and talk to you before moving a single post.
Is fence installation in Sunland Park more expensive than in El Paso or Las Cruces?
In most cases, a comparable fence runs within the same general range as nearby cities, often $3,500 to $9,000 for residential work. The wild card in Sunland Park is ground condition: caliche and old buried concrete can add digging time that a flat El Paso lot won’t have. We show that as a written line item before work starts, so you’re not guessing at the end.
What warranty do you offer on a fence in Sunland Park?
Every fence job we complete carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on the contract. If something’s not right within that window, Tom Barrett comes back and fixes it. One call to (877) 610-1318 is all it takes. The permit and inspection record on eligible jobs also stays with the property, which matters when you eventually sell.
