We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been building fences long enough to know Davie is not like the rest of Broward County. Your lots are bigger. Your zoning is different. Your water table sits higher than most contractors expect. If you want a fence that stands square through the wet season and a hurricane, the contractor you hire has to understand all three. We do. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that serve Davie. That’s the crew that shows up on your job.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Davie’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Ask anyone off Flamingo Road or along Orange Drive who they’d trust with a fence on an equestrian-zoned lot, and our name comes up. Here’s why.
First, we know Davie’s permitting like the back of our hand. The Town of Davie is one of the only incorporated municipalities in South Florida that legally preserves equestrian zoning and horse-trail easements throughout its residential areas. That means a fence around a paddock, stable, or riding arena has to clear both residential building codes and the Town’s agricultural overlay permitting. It’s a dual-track process. We handle both tracks on every eligible job, so you’re not the one sitting on hold with the building department or waiting on a stop-work order. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number; look it up before you sign anything.
Second, we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. When you call about a fence in Davie, you talk to someone who knows what a 33314 lot looks like.
Third, every price arrives in writing before work starts. Scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises. We do a written estimate, a written contract, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our Fence Installation Services in Davie
Different lots need different fences. Here’s what we install most around Davie, and why each one fits the area’s conditions.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence is the workhorse of Davie’s equestrian overlay. It’s rust-resistant, it holds up to hurricane-force wind when properly rated and braced, and it keeps horses where they belong. We carry aluminum systems engineered for HVHZ wind zones, which is not a given with every supplier. On a recent job off Volunteer Road in the 33314 equestrian overlay, we installed a 4-rail aluminum fence with a welded wire mesh insert. Our crew pulled the residential fence permit and the agricultural overlay clearance in sequence, then set posts 30 inches deep to tie into the high water table’s saturated soil. The job finished with inspection sign-offs from both the building department and the agricultural planner. That’s the exact dual-track scope of work most out-of-town fence companies miss.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence in Davie works well for privacy and property-line needs. It won’t rot in the humidity, doesn’t need painting, and resists the salt air that drifts inland from the coast. In Davie, the deciding factor is wind-load rating. Cheap vinyl panels from a big-box store will flex and snap in a named storm. We specify vinyl systems rated for Broward County’s HVHZ zone, with post spacing and embedment depth matched to our saturated soil conditions. A typical vinyl fence in Davie runs $3,500-$9,000, depending on linear footage, gate count, and whether you need a privacy height or a lower ranch-style profile.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link remains one of the most common fences in Davie, particularly on larger agriculturally zoned lots where you’re containing dogs, delineating property lines, or fencing a utility area without blocking sightlines. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in residential, commercial, and agricultural grades. For Davie homeowners, we recommend heavier gauge posts and concrete encasement below grade because of the high water table. Setting posts too shallow or without proper concrete means fast shifting and leaning within one wet season. We don’t cut that corner.
Wood Fence
Wood fence in Davie takes more maintenance than aluminum or vinyl because of the heat, humidity, and rain. We still build it for homeowners who want the classic ranch look, especially along the western and agricultural stretches of Davie. We use pressure-treated pine or cedar, and we set every post below the water table’s saturation line or encase it in concrete so it doesn’t heave. If you’re building wood, expect regular sealing in this climate. That’s not a sales pitch, it’s just what wood asks of you in South Florida.

Trusted Brands We Service in Davie
We stock and install materials from brands you can look up. For vinyl and aluminum fence systems, we regularly specify Ply Gem and PGT, both of which carry products rated for Miami-Dade and Broward County HVHZ conditions. We keep common replacement parts and gate hardware for Davie customers on hand, which means less waiting when something breaks. Our Fence Installation team knows these product lines, their wind ratings, and what the Town’s plan reviewer wants to see on the spec sheet.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Davie Homes
Some failures repeat themselves because the conditions repeat themselves. Here’s what we fix most often.
- High water table heaving: Davie sits on historically low-lying, Everglades-adjacent terrain. Any ground-disturbing construction, including fence posts, has to tie into Broward County’s stormwater management realities. Posts set without proper concrete encasement below the saturation line shift and lean within one wet season. We set posts deeper and cap them with concrete collars where the code allows.
- Missing agricultural overlay permits: A fence around a paddock, stable, or riding arena without the agricultural overlay permit triggers a stop-work order and possible fine from the Town’s code enforcement. We’ve been called out to finish jobs other contractors couldn’t close because the agricultural planner never signed off. Don’t let that be your fence.
- Wind-load failures: Under-specifying wind-load rated fence systems for HVHZ zones results in blow-downs during named storms. Then the insurance adjuster asks for the wind-mitigation documentation, and there isn’t any. That claim gets denied. A compliant fence has a paper trail.
- Gate sag on saturated soil: Davie’s wet-season saturation loosens gate post footings that weren’t deep enough. A sagging gate that caught the ground before is now a security gap. We hang gates with heavier hardware and deeper footings from the start.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Davie, FL
Here’s what fence installation in Davie actually costs in this market, not a national average. Vinyl fence installation runs $3,500-$9,000. Aluminum fence installation runs $4,000-$10,000. Chain link typically falls toward the lower end of that range, and wood varies by species and height. What moves the number: linear footage, gate count, post embedment depth, whether the fence encloses an equestrian use subject to agricultural overlay review, and the wind-load rating on the materials. Longer runs of aluminum with welded wire mesh inserts cost more than a basic chain-link perimeter.
One thing that does not change the number: surprise change orders at the end. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll walk your lot, check your zoning, and put the number on paper.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Davie
Yes. In addition to the standard residential fence permit, Davie requires an agricultural overlay review and clearance if the fence encloses a paddock, stable, or riding arena on an equestrian-zoned lot. That second review goes through the Town’s agricultural planner, not just the building department. We handle both permits on every eligible job, in sequence, so the work passes inspection the first time. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Broward County is a high-velocity hurricane zone, and Davie sits fully within the HVHZ. Your fence must be engineered and documented for the wind loads set by the Florida Building Code and Broward County amendments. We specify systems rated for HVHZ conditions and keep the documentation for insurance purposes.
Davie’s high water table saturates the soil below grade for much of the year. Posts set too shallow, or without proper concrete encasement, shift and lean within one wet season. We set posts deeper and use concrete collars or full encasement to keep them square. That depth and method go into your written estimate, not into a verbal promise.
Yes. A fence installed to HVHZ wind standards, permitted by the Town of Davie, and documented with inspection sign-offs gives you a paper trail your insurer can verify. A fence built without that documentation gives the adjuster a reason to deny the claim. We keep the permit records and the wind-mitigation documentation from day one.
A compliant fence quote in Davie includes the residential permit fee, the agricultural overlay review if your lot requires it, HVHZ wind-rated materials, post embedment depths sized for the water table, inspection scheduling, and the paperwork proving all of it. A cheap quote omits the permit line, uses under-rated materials, and banks on nobody asking for documentation. The difference shows up the next time a named storm passes through or a stop-work order gets posted. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote; we’ll show you the difference line by line.
Once the Town’s permits clear, most residential fence jobs in Davie start within 5-10 business days and finish in 3-7 days on-site. Permitting timelines vary depending on whether the agricultural overlay review is required. We give you a written schedule with your estimate so you know what to expect.
