Fast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Westchester
What does a new wood or vinyl fence actually cost in Westchester? Most homeowners in the 33144 zip code spend between $3,500 and $9,000 for a professionally installed residential fence, with chain link landing on the lower end and aluminum or custom privacy fencing pushing toward the top. That’s the honest range, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work begins. If you’re tired of national outfits quoting one price over the phone and handing you a different bill at the door, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every proposal, and his sons run the crews that show up in Westchester.
Westchester’s older CBS ranch homes need fences that can handle the same conditions as the houses themselves: salt-laden air, 60-plus inches of annual rain, and the occasional hurricane-force wind gust. We’ve been installing fences in this neighborhood long enough to know which posts rot first, which gate hinges seize up by August, and why cheap galvanized hardware from a big-box store doesn’t survive one wet season here. That local knowledge saves you money on the front end and stops callbacks on the back end.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Westchester’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he’s still the guy who answers the phone. Not a call center, not a voicemail box that promises to call you back. When a Westchester homeowner calls about a sagging gate or a fence line that needs replacing, they get a live person, day or night.
Crews serving Westchester are coordinated from our South Florida office, and the people on your property carry the Barrett & Sons name. They’re background-checked and uniformed. But more important to most of our Westchester customers is what’s on paper: every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work starts. No surprise invoices at the end. As Tom likes to say, “An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.”
We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible fence job in Westchester. If you’ve worked with a contractor who told you permits were optional, you already know why that matters. And every completed job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. Something’s off? One call brings Tom back to make it right.
Our Fence Installation Services in Westchester
Wood Fence Installation
A wood fence is still the most common choice for Westchester backyards, and for good reason: it gives you real privacy without making the place feel like a compound. We build with pressure-treated pine and cedar, and we set posts in concrete below the grade line so they don’t heave during the wet season. Westchester’s shallow water table means we dig carefully and check for standing water before setting any post. A properly built wood fence in this neighborhood should give you 15 to 20 years with basic maintenance.

Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl keeps gaining ground in Westchester because it shrugs off the humidity and salt air that eat away at other materials. No painting, no sealing, no rust. We see a lot of vinyl privacy fencing around homes in the 33144 area, particularly along Coral Way and Bird Road where owners want a clean look that holds up. Expect a vinyl fence to run slightly higher than wood upfront but cost less over time. We stock replacement sections locally, so repairs don’t mean waiting on a special order from out of state.

Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link is the workhorse, and it makes sense for Westchester homeowners who want security without blocking sightlines. It’s also the most budget-friendly option, typically the lowest cost per linear foot for a full fence installation. We use galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link with heavy-gauge posts, not the thin stuff you find at the hardware store. For Westchester homes with dogs or pool areas, we can install chain link with privacy slats or a bottom rail to keep everything where it belongs.

Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron without the rust problem that plagues iron fences in Westchester’s coastal air. It’s a smart pick for front yards where you want curb appeal and durability. We install residential-grade aluminum panels with UV-stable powder coating, and we set posts in concrete to code depth. For homeowners near public parks or on busier streets in Westchester, aluminum also does a fine job defining property lines while still letting air move through.
Fence Installation is what we do every week, and every type we offer is backed by the same written warranty and the same name on the truck.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westchester
We install and repair fences built with materials you can actually look up, not mystery brands off a van. For hardscape tie-ins where fences meet driveways and paths, we regularly work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, and we keep a supply of Quikrete products on hand for Westchester jobs. That means when you need a gate post reset or a fence line tied into a new paver patio, we’re not running back and forth to a supplier. Want to know exactly what’s going into your fence? Ask us. We’ll tell you the brand, the gauge, the coating, and why we picked it for your specific yard.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Westchester Homes
- Rusted hardware in salt air. Westchester sits close enough to the coast that unprotected steel hinges, latches, and fasteners start showing rust within a season or two. We use stainless or heavily galvanized hardware on every fence we build here, because anything less is a callback waiting to happen.
- Posts set too shallow for Miami Limestone. Digging in Westchester means hitting rock sooner than most people expect. Contractors who quote cheap often cut posts short to avoid the trouble. We set posts to proper depth and backfill with concrete so your fence doesn’t lean after the first big storm.
- Gates that bind in humid weather. Wood gates swell in Westchester’s wet months, and a gate that clears fine in January can stick by July. We leave proper clearance and use adjustable hinges so your gate keeps swinging through every season.
- Fence lines that ignore property lines. Older Westchester lots weren’t always surveyed to modern standards, and we’ve fixed more than one fence built over a neighbor’s line by a previous contractor. We recommend locating corners and pulling a survey before we set the first post, and we’ll coordinate with the surveyor so you don’t end up tearing down a finished fence.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Westchester, FL
A complete residential fence installation in Westchester typically runs between $3,500 and $9,000. Vinyl fence installation in Westchester runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on linear footage and style. Aluminum fence installation runs $4,000 to $10,000, mostly driven by panel height and decorative options. Chain link lands at the lower end of the overall range. Wood fences sit in the middle, though cedar runs higher than pressure-treated pine.
What moves the price: total linear feet, fence height, gate count, and whether we’re removing an old fence. In Westchester, removal of an existing fence with concrete footings adds labor. Access matters too: a tight backyard with no side gate for a wheelbarrow means more manual carrying of posts and concrete. We’ll walk your property, take measurements, and hand you a written quote with every line item spelled out. No allowances for “unforeseen conditions,” no verbal promises we won’t keep. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate. We also offer a Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate, so if you’re already holding a number from another company, bring it in.
If your project ties into a larger outdoor upgrade, we also handle Driveway & Pavers in Westchester so your new fence and hardscape match from day one. And for homeowners thinking bigger, our Home Additions & ADU in Westchester team can plan a fence around future construction rather than making you redo it later.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Westchester
Most Westchester fence projects can be scheduled within two to three weeks of accepting a written estimate. Your timeline depends on material availability, permit approval if required, and our current schedule. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a real start date, not a vague “soon.”
Yes. We install fences throughout the 33144 zip code, from the blocks along Coral Way and Bird Road to the residential streets around Tropical Park. We’re local enough that meeting for a free estimate doesn’t mean waiting for a crew from another county.
Storm damage and downed fence sections are different from planned installation work. If a tree or high winds took out part of your fence, call us right away and we’ll do what we can to get you on the schedule quickly. We know which materials are in stock locally and what Miami-Dade requires for repairs, so you won’t wait on a permit delay that could’ve been avoided.
Pricing in Westchester is comparable to Flagami, West Miami, and Coral Terrace, but local site conditions can shift the final number. Rocky Miami Limestone, tight access, and older property lines all affect labor. You can expect a typical residential fence in Westchester to fall between $3,500 and $9,000. What you shouldn’t expect is a phone quote that doesn’t match the written estimate. Ours match.
Every fence we install carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That’s on top of the manufacturer warranty on materials. We’ve been doing this since 1998, and we’re not hard to find if you need us.
