AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Sunrise
A new fence in Sunrise runs $3,500 to $9,000 for vinyl and $4,000 to $10,000 for aluminum, depending on linear footage, wind-load engineering, and whether your home needs hurricane-clip anchoring to meet Broward County code. Permits get pulled on every eligible job, and inspections are signed before we call it done. Our crews work in Sunrise’s 33304 neighborhoods every week, and we answer the phone live when you call (877) 610-1318.
If you live in one of the 1970s CBS concrete-block homes that make up so much of Sunrise, you already know the afternoon thunderstorms here do not mess around, whether you need a fence or Kitchen Remodeling - Sunrise. Neither do we. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that set fence posts in Sunrise. That is not marketing speak. That is who shows up at your door.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sunrise’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Homeowners in Sunrise call us because we are the name-on-the-truck alternative to outfits that quote one price over the phone and hand you a different number at the door. We have been at this for 29 years, and every price change on a Sunrise fence job arrives as a written change order before a single post goes in the ground. If the allowance is not on paper, it is a surprise waiting for a date.
We pull Broward County permits on every fence installation that requires one, and we like having the inspector on site. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That third-party sign-off is your proof the job was done to code, and it matters when you file a storm claim or sell the house. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself. He publishes his name, his address, and his license. Not a franchise. Not a call center. A guy who lives twenty minutes away.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state answering service. And every fence job is backed by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Fence Installation Services in Sunrise
Our Fence Installation team handles the full range of residential and light commercial fence work in Sunrise, from privacy runs along rear lot lines to aluminum enclosure around pools. Each material has different engineering demands in this climate, so we do not treat them the same.
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum is the fence we most often recommend for Sunrise homeowners who want a clean look without the rust and rot problems that humidity brings, though many of the same homeowners also ask us about Bathroom Remodeling - Sunrise. Sunrise sits on a limestone shelf where the wet-season water table rises to within inches of grade, which means untreated steel posts corrode fast. We set aluminum posts in 30-inch-deep concrete footings with hurricane clips, and we use galvanized brackets at every connection. A typical aluminum fence installation in Sunrise runs $4,000 to $10,000.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl privacy fencing is popular throughout the 33304 zip, especially in the 1970s and 1980s tracts where back yards sit close together. The material holds up well to Florida sun and standing water, unlike untreated wood. But a vinyl fence is only as good as its anchoring. We set every post in concrete to a depth that meets Broward County wind-load requirements, and we verify the posts are plumb before the rails go up. Vinyl fence installation in Sunrise typically costs $3,500 to $9,000.
Wood Fence Installation
Wood fences in Sunrise need pressure-treated lumber and galvanized fasteners, or the constant humidity will cause rail pullout within two years. We have replaced plenty of wood runs where the original installer used interior-grade screws and set posts in shallow concrete, and the whole thing leaned in the first strong storm. When we install wood in Sunrise, we use the same anchoring standard we use for aluminum: 30-inch footings, hurricane clips, and a permit pulled.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link remains a practical choice for Sunrise properties that need security without blocking airflow, and it is the most affordable way to fence a large yar. Homeowners near Sawgrass Mills and the Amerant Bank Arena corridor sometimes also need commercial-grade chain link for back-of-house security, and we handle those jobs through the same permitting process. Galvanized posts and tension bands hold up far better in this humidity than the cheap powder-coated sets sold at big-box stores.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sunrise
We install and service fencing lines from PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem, which means the materials are documented and warrantied, not mystery stock off a van. If a Sunrise homeowner needs a matching section or a replacement gate years later, we can order it. That part matters more than people think. A cheap no-brand fence panel fails, and there is no one to call. A PGT or Ply Gem product has a manufacturer behind it, and Barrett & Sons stands behind the installation with our own written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Sunrise Homes
- Hurricane straps missing on fence posts near rooflines. Broward County inspectors enforce strap-and-clip compliance on fence posts within proximity of the roof-to-wall connection, and a lot of older Sunrise fences were never built that way. We add the hardware and show the inspector the proof.
- Posts set in shallow concrete that shear in wet-season wind. A 60 mph gust will lay an 80-foot run flat if the posts are only 12 inches into saturated soil. We set posts 30 inches deep and use concrete footings sized to the panel area.
- Galvanic corrosion from the high water table. Sunrise’s wet-season water table sits close to grade, and non-galvanized fasteners rot from the inside out. We use galvanized or stainless hardware on every connection, every time.
- Unpermitted storm-damage replacements. If a storm throws a loose panel into a neighbor’s car or roof and the original fence was never permitted, the insurance claim gets denied. We pull the permit, get the inspection signed, and give you the paper trail.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Sunrise
Yes, a Broward County fence permit is required for replacement fences in Sunrise, even when the height and material stay the same. The permit ensures your new posts, footings, and hardware meet current wind-load standards, and you get a third-party inspection sign-off that protects you in a storm claim. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will pull the permit for you.
A code-compliant aluminum fence in Sunrise must be engineered for the same wind zone as the structure itself, which means anchoring and hardware rated for sustained hurricane-force gusts, typically 140 mph or more depending on exposure. We spec posts, footings, and hurricane clips to meet Broward County’s current wind-load tables, not a generic national average.
It can, because Broward County inspectors look at the roof-to-wall connection whenever a fence post is within proximity of that junction. If the original trusses were toe-nailed to the CBS wall plates with no metal strapping, the inspector may flag it. A bid from us includes a line-item allowance for retrofit strapping if needed, instead of discovering that cost mid-project.
A permitted and inspected fence gives you the paper trail insurers want when you file a storm claim, and it can lower your risk profile because the structure is documented as wind-load compliant. An unpermitted fence that fails and damages a neighbor’s property will get your claim denied. We hand you the permit and the inspection sign-off when the job is done.
A real Sunrise fence bid includes the Broward County permit fee, post hole depth and footing size on the line items, hurricane clips and strap allowances, galvanized or stainless fastener spec, and a written change order process. A cheap quote leaves all of that off the paper and then bills you for it later. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written, line-item estimate.
