AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Weston
Fence installation in Weston, FL typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for vinyl, and $4,000 to $10,000 for aluminum. Most projects take two to three weeks once both Broward County and your HOA’s Architectural Review Committee sign off. At Barrett & Sons Construction, we’ve been running fence jobs through Weston’s dual-approval process since Tom founded the company in 1998. If you’re planning a fence in Bonaventure or The Ridges, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your village’s ARC will actually approve.
Weston isn’t like other cities. Every fence here faces two gates before the first post hole gets dug: Broward County permitting and your village’s Architectural Review Committee. Miss either one and you’re looking at a stop-work order, a removed fence, or both. We know because we’ve fixed those jobs for homeowners who hired out-of-area contractors that didn’t understand how Weston works.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Weston’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That matters when your HOA has questions about picket spacing and your permit needs a second revision. We don’t subcontract fence work to a rotating cast. The same crew that measures your lot off Arvida Parkway is the crew that sets your posts along Bonaventure Boulevard, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name the whole way.
Weston homeowners call us because we answer the phone and we know the pipeline. Sector 7’s ARC has rejected fence submittals over two-inch differences in picket spacing. The Ridges wants specific aluminum colors. Country Isles and Savanna both have their own set of material and height rules. We build HOA submittal time into every bid, because we’ve learned the hard way that a county permit alone won’t get you on the job site.
Our Weston customers also get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That’s not a marketing line; it’s what we’ve done since before most of Weston’s villages were built out.
Our Fence Installation Services in Weston
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is the workhorse in Weston, and for good reason. It handles the humidity off the Everglades without rusting, meets Florida Building Code wind requirements when installed with the right posts and hardware, and it’s what most Weston village ARCs prefer for aesthetic reasons. A typical aluminum fence in Weston runs $4,000 to $10,000, depending on lot size, height, and gate count.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Weston runs $3,500 to $9,000. It’s a solid choice for privacy along rear lot lines in communities like Savanna and Country Isles. Vinyl holds up well in Weston’s wet season, but it has to be installed with deeper footings than the cheap guys want to dig, because the water table in western Broward is high and shallow posts lean after the first summer.
Fence Gates
Gates fail more than any other fence component in Weston. The combination of heat, humidity, and daily use wears hinges and sags frames faster than homeowners expect. We build gates with reinforced frames and adjustable hinges sized for the actual gate weight, not whatever was on sale at the supply house. A properly hung gate should swing true for a decade, even off a Weston sidewalk in July.
Wood Fence
Wood fencing is less common in Weston than in neighboring cities, mostly because ARCs restrict it in many villages and termites are a real consideration this close to the Everglades. Where it’s allowed, we use pressure-treated southern yellow pine for posts and cedar or pressure-treated pine for pickets. If you want wood in Weston, we’ll check your village’s rules before we quote, so you don’t fall in love with a fence your HOA won’t approve.

Trusted Brands We Service in Weston
We install what we can stand behind and source parts for quickly. For fence hardware and related exterior work, that means manufacturers with a track record in South Florida conditions. On jobs where fence work ties into exterior or structural elements, we work with GAF for roofing transitions and Schluter for any adjacent waterproofing details. The point is we don’t put mystery materials on your property in Weston. You get named brands, spec sheets available on request, and a written change order before anything changes.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Weston Homes
- Skipped HOA Architectural Review Committee approval. This is the big one. A contractor quotes the job, shows up, installs the fence, and then the village ARC issues a stop-work order because the submitral never happened. The fence comes down or gets modified on the homeowner’s dime. We handle ARC submittal before we dig, not after.
- Non-wind-rated posts and hardware. Florida Building Code requires designs for 140+ mph wind speeds in Weston. Cheap posts with shallow footings and off-the-shelf brackets will fail in a storm, and your homeowner’s insurance claim can be denied because the installation wasn’t code-compliant. Our shop drawings specify the post depth, concrete volume, and hardware rating for every job.
- High water table footings. Weston sits on the western edge of Broward County next to the Everglades. The water table is high and the soil has peat pockets in places. Dig a standard post hole and pour a shallow footing, and that fence will lean after the first wet season. We over-dig and over-pour footings on every fence we set in Weston.
- Gate sag from humidity and heat. Weston’s summer heat and humidity expand and contract metal and wood constantly. A gate built without a reinforced frame or adjustable hinges will sag within months. We build gates for Weston conditions, not for a showroom.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Weston
Yes. Weston requires Broward County permitting and approval from your village’s Architectural Review Committee. One does not cover the other. The ARC enforces design rules like height, material, color, and even picket spacing; the county enforces code compliance including wind load and footing depth. We handle both submittals before the first post hole goes in. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your specific village’s requirements.
South Florida is a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and fencing in Weston must be engineered for 140+ mph design wind speeds under the Florida Building Code. That means rated posts, properly spaced, set in concrete footings sized for the wind load, with hardware that won’t pull out in a storm. A cheap fence quote usually skips the engineering and the rated hardware. That’s not a savings; it’s a liability.
If a storm damages your fence, your insurer will ask whether the installation met code. A documented, permitted, wind-rated fence supports your claim. An undocumented fence that failed because the posts were too shallow or the hardware wasn’t rated can become a denied claim and a repair you pay for out of pocket. We keep records of every permit, every inspection, and every material spec for your job. You get copies, not excuses.
No, and you shouldn’t want to. In Weston, a color or style change after ARC approval can require a resubmission to the Architectural Review Committee, and a change without a written change order means you’ll see the price difference as a surprise at the end. Our rule is simple: any scope change, any material change, any price change arrives in writing before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll keep every change documented.
Because it makes the price look lower, and the contractor figures you’ll pay for it later when the stop-work order shows up. We itemize HOA submittal and county permit fees in every Weston fence quote. They’re separate line items, not buried surprises. When you compare quotes in Weston, ask whether the ARC submittal and permit fees are included. If they’re not listed, they’re coming.
