AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Century City
Fence installation in Century City runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential project, and most jobs in the 90067 ZIP are governed by HOA rules that shape everything from material choice to when our crew can make noise. That’s the reality of working between the towers on Avenue of the Stars and Constellation Boulevard. If you own a condo terrace at The Century, Park Place, or The Carlyle, you already know: nothing gets installed here without the association’s say-so first. We’ve been navigating those rules for years. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett will walk you through exactly what your project needs before you spend a dollar.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned by Tom Barrett since 1998. Our Fence Installation crews serve Century City from our Los Angeles office, and we answer the phone with a live person every time. No call centers, no voicemail runaround.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Century City’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Century City isn’t like any surrounding neighborhood. It was built on the former 20th Century Fox backlot after the studio sold the land in 1961, and nearly every residence sits inside a planned, HOA-governed tower. That means fence work here lives or dies on paperwork: architectural review forms, freight elevator reservations, noise-window compliance, and sign-offs from boards that know their CC&Rs cold. We know those buildings. We’ve worked at The Century on Constellation, at Park Place off Avenue of the Stars, and at The Carlyle on Wilshire, and we also handle Kitchen Remodeling in Century City. We know loading dock procedures, we know mid-rise versus high-rise access points, and we know which buildings require a certificate of insurance on file before a crew member steps through the lobby.
Customers in Century City hire us because Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every estimate. You can look it up. The crew members who show up are background-checked and wear the Barrett & Sons name on their uniforms. And every job ends with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract. If something’s not right, we come back. One call.
Our Fence Installation Services in Century City
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is the workhorse for Century City terraces and rooftop decks. It’s lightweight enough for high-rise material handling, it won’t rust in marine-layer air, and most Century City HOAs accept powder-coated aluminum where they’d reject wood. A typical aluminum railing or privacy screen in a condo building at 90067 runs $4,000 to $10,000. On Constellation Blvd near Avenue of the Stars, our crew installed a custom aluminum privacy gate around a penthouse terrace at The Century. The material had to be scheduled through the freight elevator, cuts were made off-site to avoid noise, and the final welds were done at midday within the HOA’s two-hour construction window. We pulled the association’s architectural review sign-off before the city inspection, and the gate was in place without a single neighbor complaint.
Privacy Fence
The first question anyone in Century City should ask before ordering a privacy fence is: what does my building’s balcony rail and screen guideline actually allow? Many high-rises here only permit see-through aluminum or glass panels with specific mounting systems. A solid wood privacy screen that’d be fine in Culver City will get rejected at The Carlyle. Ground-floor condo owners occasionally have more latitude, but most Century City buildings govern even a decorative gate with an architectural review process. We’ll pull the document, read the actual language, and give you a written quote that includes what the HOA approved, not what the salesperson promised over the phone. And if you’re considering a bigger project, we also do Century City Home Additions & ADU work.
Wood Fence
Wood fencing in Century City is mostly a ground-floor or interior-atrium proposition. For the few luxury apartment buildings and mid-century multifamily properties in the ZIP that allow wood, cedar and redwood hold up reasonably well against the coastal humidity that rolls in through Santa Monica. But the district’s concrete-and-glass density means wood gets judged harder here than in single-family neighborhoods: sound transmission, view corridor rules, and fire code all come into play. If your association will sign off on it, we install it properly. If the CC&Rs won’t allow it, we’ll tell you before you buy materials. Most Century City wood fence projects fall between $3,500 and $9,000, with custom gates pushing higher.
Chain Link Fence
For Century City, chain link is a practical choice for service areas, mechanical yards, and storage enclosures around the base of the towers. Building management typically wants it behind sight-lines or screened, and we coordinate those details through the property’s facilities office. Chain link installs here are small jobs usually done in a single day, provided we stay inside the building’s noise window. We also handle chain link repairs on the commercial perimeters along Century Park East and Century Park West, where the corporate campuses and retail plazas need a fast turn without disrupting tenants.

Trusted Brands We Service in Century City
We install and repair fence systems using materials from Ply Gem and CGI, among others. When a Century City job calls for a manufactured railing or screen system that’s already spec’d by the building, we source parts locally and coordinate the order before the install date. That means no measuring twice because a component didn’t fit, and no rescheduling because freight elevator time was wasted. We also service Simonton window and door products in the area, so if a fence or gate job leads to a broken balcony door, we can build that repair into the same scope with a single written change order. Many clients pair this with our Bathroom Remodeling - Century City services.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Century City Homes
- HOA stop-work on shared property lines. Submitting a city fence permit for a shared property line without first getting the adjacent owner’s written consent is a sure way to get the association to halt the job. In a condo building, that’s a stop-work order, and it costs time and money to unwind.
- Wrong screen type for a terraced tower. Assuming a standard 6-foot wood privacy fence is allowed doesn’t work here. Most Century City high-rise terraces have balcony rail and screen guidelines that only permit see-through aluminum or glass with approved mounting systems.
- Noise violations during drilling. Fence post drilling outside the building’s quiet hours will get the crew thrown off the property. Most Century City towers restrict noisy work to 9 AM through 4 PM on weekdays, and some are narrower.
- Elevator scheduling conflicts. Showing up with a trailer full of panels and no booked freight elevator wastes a full labor day. Every condo project in Century City depends on elevator slots, loading dock access, and a sign-off from the front desk. We confirm all of it in writing before materials arrive.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Century City
Yes, in virtually every Century City condo building you need written approval from your association before installing any railing, privacy screen, or fence gate, even a decorative one. The CC&Rs govern what materials, heights, colors, and mounting methods are allowed on terraces, and most boards require an architectural review application before any work begins. We’ll help you read the document and prepare the submission. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.
A freight elevator reservation adds a line item to the labor portion of the estimate because set-up begins before the crew even reaches the terrace. We coordinate the slot, stage materials at the loading dock, and schedule all noisy cutting off-site so the on-site work stays inside the building’s construction window. Depending on the building, expect that coordination to add $200 to $600 to a typical terrace gate or privacy screen install. We’ll show you the exact line item before you sign.
Incentury City, ground-floor wood fencing is rarely a simple yes. Most buildings in the 90067 ZIP restrict privacy screens on ground floors and balconies to see-through aluminum or glass, and some prohibit solid wood entirely due to fire code and view corridor rules. If a wood fence is permitted at your parcel, we’ll verify it against the association’s written guidelines and the city’s permit requirements before ordering a single board. Get clarity first by calling (877) 610-1318.
Most Century City towers restrict noisy work, including post drilling, to a 9 AM to 4 PM weekday window, and some buildings narrow that further. We schedule all drilling, cutting, and welding inside the building’s posted construction hours and do any fabrication that creates noise or dust off-site. If a building has a narrower window, we’ll know before the job starts, because we coordinate with the front desk and facilities office before the first tool comes off the truck.
If your fence or privacy screen attaches to a wall, parapet, or rail shared with an adjacent unit, yes, you’ll almost certainly need written consent from the neighboring owner or the association before a city permit is issued. In a Century City condo, skipping that step is how stop-work orders happen. We handle the paperwork: we document the shared condition, get the sign-off, and make sure the city inspector sees a clean file. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map the exact approvals your project needs.
