AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Agoura Hills
Fence installation in Agoura Hills typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential yard, with wood privacy fences on the lower end and aluminum or iron on the higher end. Most jobs take two to five days depending on slope, soil, and how much old fencing needs to come out first. If your fence is leaning, rotted at the base, or the gate won’t latch anymore, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at it. We’ve been working in Agoura Hills long enough to know which hillside lots need deeper post settings and which neighborhoods fight the same wind every October.
Wind matters here more than most people expect. Agoura Hills sits in a wind corridor between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Simi Hills, and a fence that’s fine in a sheltered cul-de-sac on one side of Kanan Road can take a beating on an exposed slope on the other. We set posts deeper, use more concrete per post on windy exposures, and we don’t treat a fence in Liberty Canyon the same way we treat one in Old Agoura. The soil changes, the grade changes, and the wind doesn’t read the property lines.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Agoura Hills’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language, that’s who shows up at your door. When you call, a live person answers, not an out-of-state call center. When the crew arrives in Agoura Hills, the people holding the post-hole digger carry the Barrett & Sons name, and they’ve been background-checked and uniformed every visit since the day we opened.
We’ve fenced properties all over the 91301 and 91376 ZIP codes. We know the difference between the flat lots near Agoura High School and the hillside terraces up near Morrison Ranch. We know which sections of Agoura still have original 1970s chain link that’s been patched with whatever the previous owner had in the garage. And we know that after the Woolsey Fire, a lot of homeowners started thinking about fences differently, not just as a boundary but as a first line against embers and wind.
Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number because he wants you to check before you sign anything. That’s the kind of trust Agoura Hills homeowners tell us they stopped getting from the big national outfits. We’re the local, owner-operated alternative, and we’ve kept it that way for over 29 years.
Our Fence Installation Services in Agoura Hills
Wood Fence
Wood is the fence style we install most in Agoura Hills and for good reason. The older ranch-style homes in neighborhoods like Lake Lindero and the newer builds off Chesebro Road both look right with a properly built redwood or cedar privacy fence. We use galvanized steel posts set in concrete rather than wood posts straight into the dirt, because Agoura’s expansive clay soils shift with the seasons and wood posts rot in the ground. Our wood fences run roughly $3,500 to $8,000 for a standard yard, depending on footage, height, and whether you want a cap and trim detail or a simple board-on-board design.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link still has a place in Agoura Hills, especially on larger horse-property parcels and canyon-edge lots where you want a boundary without blocking the view. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, and we build it to handle the Santa Ana winds that funnel through the hills every fall. If you’re replacing a rusted or sagging chain link fence, we’ll haul the old one and reset the line properly. Chain link runs about $3,000 to $7,000 for a typical residential yard.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl makes sense for Agoura Hills homeowners who don’t want to stain or seal every couple of years. The sun exposure on south-facing slopes off Lindero Canyon Road is hard on wood and paint, and vinyl doesn’t fade or warp the same way. We install solid vinyl privacy panels and vinyl picket styles, always with reinforced rails and posts that keep their shape when the wind gusts. Expect to pay around $4,000 to $9,000 for a vinyl fence in Agoura Hills, with the higher end covering steep grades and longer runs.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is the quiet workhorse of Agoura Hills fencing. It’s what we recommend for pool enclosures, front-yard boundaries, and anywhere you want the look of iron without the rust problem. Powder-coated aluminum stands up to the coastal marine layer that creeps over the hills in the morning and the dry heat by afternoon. A standard aluminum fence in Agoura Hills runs $4,000 to $10,000 depending on panel height, spacing, and gate count. We also do Fence Installation of iron styles for homeowners who want the traditional look and don’t mind the maintenance.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Agoura Hills Homes
- Wind-leaned fences on exposed slopes: Homes up near Old Agoura and along the ridgelines get hit hard during Santa Ana season. We commonly find posts set only 18 to 24 inches deep when they should be 36 inches or more for Agoura’s wind loads. We reset every post that moves.
- Rotted posts from the wet-dry cycle: The heavy winter rains soak the clay soil in neighborhoods like Morrison Ranch, then the hot summers bake it dry. Untreated wood posts in that cycle rot in under a decade. We use galvanized steel posts with wood sleeves or pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact.
- Gates that won’t latch after the ground shifts: Agoura’s expansive soils move more than people expect, which throws gate geometry out of square. We rebuild gate frames and set gate posts deeper, and we hang gates with adjustable hinges so you can correct them yourself later.
- Fences built on ungraded slopes with gaps underneath: Many hillside Agoura lots have enough grade that a straight-run fence leaves a 6 to 12 inch gap under the bottom rail. We step or rack panels to follow the grade so dogs, coyotes, and unwelcome guests don’t find a shortcut.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Agoura Hills, CA
Here’s what we actually see in Agoura Hills, not ballpark numbers pulled off a national website. A typical wood privacy fence runs $3,500 to $8,000. Vinyl runs $4,000 to $9,000. Aluminum runs $4,000 to $10,000. Chain link is the most affordable at $3,000 to $7,000. The spread comes from footage, slope, gate count, access to the work area, and whether old fencing needs removal and disposal.
What affects your price most in Agoura Hills is the grade. A flat yard in the Chumash Park area is straightforward. A sloped hillside lot off Chesebro Road means deeper post settings, stepped panels, possibly retaining work at the fence line, and more labor hours. We don’t hide that in a vague estimate. Every quote you get from Barrett & Sons includes a written line-by-line scope, every allowance on paper, and a written change order before anything changes. No surprise invoices at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and remember we offer No Trip Charge Inside the County and a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount.
