AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Citrus Heights
Most fence jobs in Citrus Heights run between $3,500 and $9,000, with vinyl privacy fencing landing at the higher end and basic chain link on the lower. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been putting fences up on the same Sacramento Valley clay the rest of Citrus Heights sits on, which matters more than most people realize until their first winter rains. If you’re in the 95610, 95621, or 95611 zip codes and want a line-item quote in writing before anything gets ordered, call (877) 610-1318.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Citrus Heights’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. That’s not a marketing line. When a fence goes in on Greenback Lane or anywhere off Sunrise Boulevard, the people setting posts are people whose last name is on the contract. We live close enough that if a gate sags two months after install, Tom wants to hear about it. Not because he has to fix it, but because he sees you at the Bel Air on Saturday.
Citrus Heights homeowners keep calling us for the same reason. The estimate we give you is the price you pay, unless you change the scope and sign a written change order. Permits get pulled on every eligible job, and the city inspector signs off before we call it finished. We carry Simonton and Ply Gem products on fence-adjacent work, and when a fence job needs a gate that actually closes square, we frame it the same way we’d frame a wall in your house.
Every job ends with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. One call brings Tom back. We also answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not an out-of-state call center, and background-checked crew members show up in uniform every visit. No trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans.
Our Fence Installation Services in Citrus Heights
Wood Fence
Redwood and cedar privacy fences dominate the older Citrus Heights neighborhoods, and for good reason. They match the 1950s and 1960s ranch homes along streets like Mariposa Avenue and Old Auburn Road. We set posts deep enough to stay straight through the seasonal clay movement this area is known for, and we use pressure-treated posts even when the pickets are cedar. A typical wood privacy fence in Citrus Heights runs $3,500 to $7,500 for an average backyard.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link still makes sense for Citrus Heights homeowners who need utility without the upkeep. Galvanized or vinyl-coated, it holds up to the Sacramento Valley sun better than people expect, and it’s the most budget-friendly option. We install it for $3,500 to $5,500 on most lots. If you’re keeping dogs in or deer out near Arcade Creek, chain link gets the job done without blocking sightlines.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl has become the go-to for homeowners who don’t want to stain every few years. In Citrus Heights, summers regularly exceed 105°F, and cheap vinyl will warp or chalk under that sun. We install thicker-gauge vinyl rated for high-heat climates, and a typical vinyl privacy fence here lands between $4,500 and $9,000. The look is clean, and the upkeep is basically a hose.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron without the rust problem that Citrus Heights’s wet winters bring. We use powder-coated aluminum for pools, property lines, and gated entries in neighborhoods throughout 95621 and 95611. Aluminum fence installation in Citrus Heights typically runs $4,000 to $10,000 depending on height and gate count. It’s the right call when you want a fence that reads as intentional rather than just functional.

Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Heights
We stock and install fence materials from Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT, so what goes on your property is a name you can look up, not a mystery brand off a van. For Citrus Heights customers, that means faster turnaround on common parts and a warranty behind the materials that actually has teeth. If a gate hinge fails or a vinyl panel cracks within the warranty window, we handle the claim. Tom’s name is on it, which means the fix is ours to make, not yours to chase.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes
- Leaning posts from expansive clay soil. Citrus Heights sits on Sacramento Valley clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Posts set too shallow, or set in concrete without proper depth, will drift out of plumb within two or three winters. We dig deeper and backfill with aggregate so the fence stays true.
- Rot at the post base on pre-1997 homes. Many original fences tied to 1950s and 1960s tract homes were built with un-treated posts. We see the classic pattern off Fair Oaks Boulevard and throughout the older ranch neighborhoods: pickets are fine, posts are gone at ground level. Properly treated posts or steel post inserts end that cycle.
- Gate sag from heat and heavy use. Gates in Citrus Heights take triple punishment: triple-digit heat, rain-swollen soil, and daily use. A gate framed with standard hardware will sag by Labor Day. We build gate frames with corner bracing and adjustable hinges, and we block the post so it doesn’t pull.
- Split-rail fences failing along property lines. Split-rail looks right on bigger lots near Foothill Farms and the county-edge streets, but the original installations rarely used enough rail-to-post overlap. Wind and dry heat loosen joints. We re-seat rails and add proper end staples and post caps so it holds for decades, not seasons.

Yes. Because Citrus Heights was unincorporated Sacramento County until 1997, pre-1997 permit records are split between county archives and city files. We search both so the permit history is clean before we dig. The inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we pull permits on every eligible job.
