AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Aransas Pass
A new fence in Aransas Pass typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential lot, and most projects go from first stake to final walkthrough in under two weeks. That price is for a fence built to withstand what this stretch of the Texas coast actually throws at it: salt-laden wind, storm-driven rain, and ground that shifts with every wet season. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we know this area because our crews are local to Aransas Pass and the surrounding coastal bend. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is the Fence Crew Aransas Pass Calls
Since 1998, Barrett & Sons has operated as a family outfit: Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and the phone rings a real person, 24 hours a day. Homeowners in Aransas Pass have dealt with enough fly-by-night operation since Hurricane Harvey, and a firm handshake still means something in a town where the hardware store aisle doubles as a newsroom. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if something’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
We’ve set posts on Cleveland Street near the water, rebuilt fence lines off Wheeler Avenue after storms, and laid out runs for homeowners in the 78335 and 78336 ZIP codes. In this part of Aransas Pass, marine-grade hardware matters more than it does twenty miles inland. Our crew knows what a failed connector looks like at year five in coastal air. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspector’s signature is done before we call the project finished.
You can check Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. We like it that way. If you’re on Facebook, you’ll find Aransas Pass neighbors talking about the same thing: written change orders, no surprises, and a crew that shows up when they said they would.
Our Fence Installation Services in Aransas Pass
Wood Fence
Wood fences dominate the residential streets around Aransas Pass, and for good reason: they’re the most flexible option when lots slope, when a tree root has lifted a corner, or when a neighbor’s fence line drifted over the years. We frame with pressure-treated posts set in concrete and we use ring-shank fasteners, because the coastal wind here will back out a standard nail within a few seasons. A typical wood fence in Aransas Pass runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on footage, gate count, and whether we’re pulling old concrete footers from a previous install.
Chain Link Fence
For a working yard or a shoreline property that just needs a boundary, chain link holds up to the coastal environment better than almost anything else. The catch in Aransas Pass is the galvanizing: that salt air off the ship channel between Corpus Christi Bay and the Gulf will eat standard zinc coating years sooner than it would in San Antonio. We specify heavier-gauge, hot-dipped galvanized fabric and fittings for Aransas Pass jobs. It costs a little more up front and saves a lot by year seven.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl has become a common sight in post-Harvey rebuilds, especially where homeowners wanted a clean look without the repaint cycle that wood demands near the coast. The key in Aransas Pass isn’t the vinyl itself: it’s the post reinforcement and the depth of the footer, because our soil moves with every heavy rain and a shallow post will lean within two years. We set vinyl posts deeper than the manufacturer’s minimum and add concrete collaring on windward runs facing the canal side.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence in Aransas Pass runs roughly $4,000 to $10,000 for a typical yard, and it’s the right call when you want horizontal lines without the maintenance of iron in salty air. Aluminum won’t rust through like steel, but you need the right grade: we use powder-coated, marine-tolerant products, and every gate hinge gets stainless hardware. Around Aransas Pass, hinged gates on canal-facing properties catch the most wind shear, so we reinforce those posts and set them deeper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Aransas Pass
Tom Barrett has never been shy about naming the products his crew installs. For wood fencing, we source pressure-treated and cedar options built for coastal exposure. For gate hardware and post accessories, we carry lines our crews trust on commercial jobs as well as residential. You’ll hear us talk about GAF and CertainTeed on the roofing side of our business, and the same standard applies here: no mystery-brand hardware, no white-label material we wouldn’t put on our own fence. If you’re in Aransas Pass and need a gate spring replaced or a section rebuilt after a storm, we keep common replacement hardware on hand so the job doesn’t stall waiting on a third-party shipper.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Aransas Pass Homes
- Salt corrosion on standard hardware. Aransas Pass sits directly on the ship channel, and that constant onshore wind carries salt that eats through zinc-plated fasteners and brackets faster than inland builders would believe. We see fences that look fine from the street but have gate hardware practically dusted by year five. Marine-grade stainless or heavy hot-dip galvanized hardware is the standard here, not an upgrade.
- Posts leaning after clay soil expansion. The soil around the 78335 area and near the Copano Bay side of town expands and contracts dramatically with rainfall cycles. A post set in a 24-inch footer that works in Corpus Christi may not hold in Aransas Pass, where root intrusion and drainage patterns add extra lateral load. We go deeper and collar in concrete on any windward line.
- Fence lines re-run without adjusting for lot drift. Many of these lots were staked decades ago, before Harvey redrew fence lines and easements changed. A crew that pops a string line off a neighbor’s fence without verifying the recorded line will rebuild the same mistake. We check the actual right-of-way and the fence permit requirements before we set the first post.
- Wind-rated gate failures. A wooden privacy gate on a canal-facing property acts like a sail during a strong front. Repeated gusts pull screws, twist the frame, and eventually snap the corner. We reinforce gate frames on the windward side and use through-bolted hinges as a default on Aransas Pass gate installs, not an add-on.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Aransas Pass, TX
A typical Fence Installation project in Aransas Pass lands between $3,500 and $9,000 for the most common residential jobs. Here’s a clearer breakdown of what we quote most often around town:
- Wood privacy fence (standard 6-foot, 150-200 linear feet): $3,500-$7,000 installed.
- Vinyl fence (same footage, including deeper coastal footers): $4,500-$9,000.
- Aluminum fence (decorative residential grade): $4,000-$10,000.
- Chain link (residential 4- or 5-foot): $3,500-$7,500.
- Fence gates (single walk gate or double drive gate, including hardware): $400-$2,500 depending on size and reinforcement.
- Fence repair (post replacement, section rebuild, gate rehang): $400-$1,800 typical.
What pushes a quote toward the top of those ranges is usually footage, the number of gates, whether we’re pulling old posts set in concrete, and whether the line runs along a canal or open expanse with full wind exposure. You’ll get a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and no price changes unless you sign a written change order. That’s how we’ve done it since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and one of Tom’s sons will come measure it out.

In Aransas Pass, most residential fence jobs run $3,500 to $9,000, which is in line with Portland and Rockport. The difference here is usually in the hardware spec and footer depth required for the coastal wind and shifting soil, and that’s already worked into our quote.
