AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Bedford
Most fence calls we get in Bedford start the same way: a stretch of cedar or chain link has finally given up after one too many North Texas summers, and now the dog has figured it out. You need a straight answer on what a new fence costs and whether someone will actually show up when they say they will. A typical fence installation in Bedford runs $3,500-$9,000 depending on material and footage, and we’ll give you that number in writing before a single post hole is dug. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 by Tom Barrett. Our crews work the streets of Bedford every week, from the 76021 neighborhoods around Central Drive up through 76022 near Harwood. If you’ve ever had a fence bid that turned into a surprise invoice, you’ll find we do things differently here.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Bedford’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Bedford homeowners tend to do their homework. You’re not the kind of folks who pick a contractor off a flyer and hope for the best. That’s why Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. We listed them because we expect you to check.
Most of our Bedford fence work comes from neighbors telling neighbors. Ask anyone on your street or look up the license number yourself. When a crew from Barrett & Sons is on your property, you’ll see background-checked, uniformed workers who carry the Barrett name because they’re either Tom’s sons or people he’d vouch for at the hardware store. We don’t send strangers from an out-of-state call center. A live person answers the phone 24/7.
Bedford’s older ranch homes, especially around the neighborhoods developed between 1960 and 1985, sit on Tarrant County’s expansive clay soil. That matters for fences more than people realize. Posts set without accounting for clay shrink-swell will lean within a few seasons, and we plan for that from day one. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise says it plainly: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Fence Installation Services in Bedford
Wood Fence
Wood privacy fence is what most Bedford homeowners call us about first. Cedar and pressure-treated pine hold up well here when they’re installed with proper gap space, and we build for the 100-degree summers and the wet springs this part of Texas throws at you. Expect straight lines, set posts, and pickets that don’t warp the first year because corners were cut. Many of our Fence Installation clients in Bedford pair a wood fence with a driveway upgrade once they see the finished line.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the practical choice for a lot of Bedford backyards, especially on the larger lots you see north of Airport Freeway where people keep them open for dogs and grandkids. It’s the most budget-friendly option we offer, though a galvanized 4-foot chain link with proper terminal posts still requires real work to look right and last. We also handle chain link gates and dog runs.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is gaining ground in Bedford’s established subdivisions like those around Harwood Road and Forest Ridge. It shrugs off rain, doesn’t rot, and never needs a stain brush. The catch with vinyl in North Texas is installation tolerance: it expands and contracts with temperature swings, and a sloppy post line will show fast. We set vinyl posts in concrete and check every line before panels go up.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum works well for the front yard or around a pool in Bedford, where you want boundary definition without blocking the view. Homeowners with ranch-style brick homes often pick aluminum to match the era of the house without the weight of wrought iron. We also handle Driveway & Pavers in Bedford, which is a natural complement when a new driveway gate and fence are going in together.
We also install iron fence, privacy fence variations, custom gates, and commercial fencing elsewhere on this site. The point for Bedford readers: any style you’re considering, we’ll spec it for this climate and this soil, not a national template.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bedford
We don’t stock mystery materials off a van. For hardscape pairings around fence lines and gate posts, we work with Quikrete and Oldcastle for concrete that sets up right in Bedford’s rocky, clay-heavy ground. When a fence project blends into a paver walkway or a patio, Cambridge Pavers products are ones you can look up and verify. That matters to the customer who’s been handed a quote for a no-name product and is supposed to just trust the guy with the clipboard. Our crews serve Bedford from the Dallas-Fort Worth scheduling office, so parts and follow-up are never more than a phone call away.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Bedford Homes
- Clay soil heaving posts out of line. Bedford sits on some of the most active shrink-swell clay in North Texas. Posts set in dry clay without proper concrete depth will move within two years. We set for the worst-case moisture swing, not the day of install.
- Old fences hiding unpermitted changes. On some streets near central Bedford developed before 1975, previous owners ran fence lines that don’t match what’s on record with the city. If you’re replacing a section and the property line is murky, we flag it before the auger hits dirt.
- Single-panel wind failures during spring storms. Bedford gets the full Mid-Cities breeze off the open land around the airport. Fences with undersized end posts collapse in storms that wouldn’t bother a properly braced run. We overbuild corners and end posts on every job.
- Gate sag on 1960s and 1970s concrete slabs. This is a weird Bedford-specific one. Older slab homes have settled over decades, which means a gate hinge mounted to a settled corner post will swing wrong from day one. We account for slab fall when hanging gates.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Bedford, TX
A full fence installation in Bedford typically runs $3,500-$9,000. A standard vinyl privacy fence around a Bedford backyard is usually at the higher end of that range, while chain link on a modest lot lands lower. Aluminum fence runs $4,000-$10,000 when you’re wrapping a front yard or pool area. What moves the number: linear footage, how many gates you need, whether old concrete post footings have to be jackhammered out, and how much of the property line is on a slope.
Here’s the part our Bedford customers care about most: every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come measure, walk the line with you, and hand you a written line-item quote. Estimates are free. We publish a No Trip Charge Inside the County policy, and seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Bedford
We typically get someone to a Bedford address within one to three business days for a measure and written estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will set the appointment; there’s no trip charge inside the county. If you need a second opinion on an existing written estimate, we do those free too.
Yes. We run crews through 76021, 76022, and 76095 regularly, including the neighborhoods around Harwood Road, Forest Ridge, and the streets near Boys Ranch Park. If you’re inside Bedford city limits, you’re inside our normal service area, and dispatch comes from the Dallas-Fort Worth office with local crews.
Not unless the scope changes and you sign a written change order first. That’s Tom Barrett’s rule and it’s been in force since 1998. If we hit something unexpected under the soil, like old concrete footings or an unmarked utility line, you’ll see the new price on paper before another move is made. No exceptions.
Pricing is essentially the same across the Mid-Cities because we run the same crews with the same materials and the same soil to deal with. Bedford’s older lots and settled slabs sometimes add a little labor on gate work, but the per-linear-foot numbers won’t shift from one city to the next. Call (877) 610-1318 for your exact quote.
It covers any workmanship issue you find within 90 days of completion. One call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. Gate sag, loose picket lines, a post that moved, whatever it is. It’s written on every contract, not hidden in fine print. We also back our work in Bedford the same way we would for a neighbor, because most of the time, you literally are.
