Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Florence-Graham’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Florence-Graham isn’t the City of Los Angeles. It’s unincorporated LA County, and that single fact changes how fences get permitted, inspected, and built here. Contractors who assume LADBS handles the job find out the hard way that the LA County Department of Public Works runs its own plan-check process, its own fee schedule, and its own inspection queue. We’ve been working inside that system for over 29 years, so our Fence Installation team files with the right agency the first time. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom answers the phone himself. You’ll see the same faces from the estimate through the final walk.
Most of our Florence-Graham customers found us after another contractor burned them: a quote on the phone, a different bill at the door, and a permit that never got pulled. We write every scope, every allowance, and every price change as a written change order before work proceeds. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back under the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. That’s the kind of guarantee that actually means something when the County inspector is standing in your backyard.
Our Fence Installation Services in Florence-Graham
Privacy Fence
On dense Florence-Graham blocks where houses sit close, a privacy fence does more than screen the view. It defines where your property ends and the neighbor’s begins, which matters a great deal when lot lines have been blurred by decades of informal additions. We build board-on-board and shadowbox cedar fences that hold up to the Basin’s heat and give you a real boundary.
Wood Fence
Wood fence installation in Florence-Graham runs the same range as vinyl: $3,500-$9,000 for a typical yard. The bungalow-era lots here often have old redwood or cedar that’s rotted at the base from sprinkler overspray and poor drainage. We pull the old posts, check the property line against the County parcel map, and set new pressure-treated posts in concrete at the proper depth. The result is a fence that stays plumb.
Fence Repair
Most fence repair calls in Florence-Graham are for leaning sections, rotted bottom rails, or gates that drag because the post shifted. We can often reset and reinforce a salvageable fence for far less than full replacement, but we’ll be honest if the structure is past saving. You get a written scope before we start, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum costs $4,000-$10,000 installed at a typical Florence-Graham property. It’s popular for corner lots and any fence facing a busy street along Alameda, Compton Avenue, or Firestone Boulevard because it needs almost no upkeep and won’t warp in the heat. We order panels cut to your exact linear footage and set them in concrete footings sized for the soil here.

Trusted Brands We Service in Florence-Graham
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For fence work in Florence-Graham, that means Simonton and Ply Gem hardware and accessories when the job calls for premium components. We keep common sizes and parts locally stocked so a repair doesn’t stall waiting on a shipped order, and what we quote is what gets installed. If a brand doesn’t hold up in the Los Angeles Basin’s heat and smog, we don’t carry it.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Florence-Graham Homes
- Wrong agency, stalled permit. Filing with LADBS when the property falls under LA County Public Works stops the whole job. We verify jurisdiction before anything else.
- Setback encroachment from older fences. We’ve found rail fences sitting eight inches inside a neighbor’s lot because nobody checked the parcel map when it was built. A surveyor resolves it before new posts go in.
- Post holes punched into unpermitted additions. Tight Florence-Graham lots often have rear additions or converted garages with footings no plans show. A post hole can hit that footing and damage a neighbor’s wall.
- Early-morning stop-work orders. LA County’s noise ordinance limits heavy work hours. Start concrete mixing at 6 a.m. without checking, and one neighbor call brings an inspector out.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Florence-Graham, CA
Fence installation in Florence-Graham typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard vinyl or wood fence on an average 50 by 100 lot. Here’s how the main options line up:
| Fence Type | Typical Installed Price in Florence-Graham |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000-$10,000 |
| Wood Fence Installation | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Fence Repair | Usually less than full replacement; quoted per linear foot after inspection |
Access drives the quote as much as footage. A narrow driveway, a shared wall with no side access, or a rear yard you can only reach through the house all add labor. We’ll walk the lot with you, show you what the County requires, and hand you a written line-item quote. No allowance that isn’t on paper, no surprise at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Florence-Graham
Yes. Fence permits in Florence-Graham run through the LA County Department of Public Works, not LADBS, because the community is unincorporated. We handle the filing, the plan check, and the inspection scheduling so you don’t have to learn the County’s fee schedule. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm what your specific project needs.
When a fence sits on or near a property line shared with a neighbor, California Civil Code 841 requires written notice to the adjacent owner before construction begins. We send that notice, and we pull the County’s parcel map to confirm the exact line before digging. It prevents the kind of dispute that stops work mid-job and lands in small claims court. For a quote on your specific line situation, call (877) 610-1318.
Plan-check and permitting through LA County Public Works typically adds one to three weeks to a fence project, depending on the review queue and whether the parcel has any flagged historical or overlay review. We build that lead time into the written scope so you’re not blindsided. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check the current queue for the 90001 ZIP before we write your estimate.
No. A fence in unincorporated Florence-Graham must pass LA County Public Works inspection, period. Any contractor who says the inspection is optional is telling you something that won’t hold up when you sell the house and the title company asks for the final sign-off. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and stand next to you when the inspector walks the line. For a fence that’s built to sign-off standard from day one, call (877) 610-1318.
A rear fence on a lot with no side access means every post, every concrete bag, and every section of panel has to come through the house or over the top, and that adds labor to the quote. We’ll measure the actual path from the street to the post line and price the job for how it will really be built, not how it would be built on a wide-open suburban lot. For an exact number on your access situation, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
