Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Delhi’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’ve been building and repairing fences in Delhi long enough to know what the soil does to a post hole. The adobe clay under most residential lots here swells like a sponge in winter and bakes brick-hard by August, which means a fence that’s set shallow or backfilled with loose dirt will lean by spring. We set posts in concrete and compact the base properly, because we’ve seen what happens when someone cuts that corner.
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call about a fence in Delhi, you’re not talking to a call center in another state. Tom answers his own phone, and if something isn’t right after the job, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on your contract: one call brings him back. That’s the kind of accountability that matters when you’re spending several thousand dollars on a fence that should last twenty years.
Our crew members are background-checked and wear the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts. We pull every permit through the Merced County Building & Safety Division, and we don’t ask you to handle paperwork that should be ours. This is Delhi service the way it ought to be done.
Our Fence Installation Services in Delhi
Wood Fence
Most Delhi homeowners ask for cedar or redwood privacy fencing, usually six feet tall with capped posts. On Delhi’s smaller lots, a cedar privacy fence gives you a real backyard without eating up much ground, and it holds up well against the San Joaquin Valley’s summer sun if it’s sealed or stained properly. We stock the lumber locally and can match an existing fence line if you’re replacing a section that finally gave out. A typical cedar privacy fence in Delhi runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on linear footage and gate count.

Chain Link Fence
For Delhi properties with outbuildings, dog runs, or larger agricultural lots, galvanized chain link is the practical choice. It costs less than wood or vinyl, it won’t rot or warp in the tule fog winters, and it’s the fence style you see most often along Delhi’s older farmworker housing and utility yards. We install commercial-gauge chain link with either galvanized or vinyl-coated finishes, and we set every terminal post in concrete so the corners don’t pull loose when the soil shifts. Prices for chain link in Delhi generally start around $3,500 on standard lots, with larger runs running higher.

Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fencing has become more common in Delhi over the last decade, especially for homeowners who don’t want to stain or replace boards every few years. The material shrugs off the summer heat without fading the way cheap vinyl does, and it’s a good fit for the fresh subdivisions going in around the edges of town. We carry premium vinyl lines that hold their color better than the big-box white panels that yellow after two summers. A vinyl privacy fence for a typical Delhi lot runs $3,500 to $9,000, comparable to cedar at the front end but with far less maintenance on the back end.

Aluminum Fence
If you’re fencing a front yard or a pool area on one of Delhi’s newer lots, aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron without the rust problem. The fog that rolls up the valley floor every winter is brutal on untreated steel, but powder-coated aluminum handles it without flaking. We install aluminum fence panels in standard and decorative styles, and we match gates to the panel profile so the whole run looks like one piece. Budget $4,000 to $10,000 for a typical aluminum fence installation in Delhi, depending on the style and the number of gates.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Delhi Homes
- Leaning posts from expansive clay soil. Delhi’s adobe clay shrinks and swells dramatically with seasonal moisture. Posts set without proper concrete footings and base compaction start tilting within one wet winter, and by February they’re visibly out of plumb.
- Rotted wood posts at ground level. The winter tule fog and irrigation overspray from lawns and almond trees keeps the soil around fence posts damp for months. Untreated or improperly sealed posts rot right at the soil line, snapping off clean when the wind hits.
- Chain link fabric pulling loose on older agricultural lots. Many Delhi fences date back to the mid-20th century, and the tension wires and fittings on those old runs are fatigued. We see a lot of sagging fabric and broken top rails that just need new hardware and re-tensioning, not a full replacement.
- Gates that bind and won’t latch during summer. When the ground bakes above 105°F, the clay contracts and the post blocks shift just enough to throw a gate out of square. A gate that swings fine in March may drag by July. We set gate posts deeper and use heavier-duty hinges to keep them working year-round.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Delhi, CA
Fence installation in Delhi, CA runs $3,500 to $9,000 for most residential projects, split by material and footage. Wood privacy fencing (cedar or redwood) lands at the lower end of that range for a modest backyard and climbs as you add gates or cap-and-trim details. Vinyl runs roughly the same as cedar upfront. Chain link usually comes in a bit lower, while aluminum and decorative iron sit near the top. What moves the price most: total linear feet, number of gates, tear-out and haul-away of an old fence, and how much soil prep your particular lot requires. Every estimate we write includes a line-item breakdown, and any price change arrives as a written change order before work starts. No surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk the line with you.
