AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Gladeview
A full fence installation in Gladeview typically runs $3,500 to $9,000, with most jobs taking two to five days once the concrete sets. The bigger variables are materials, linear footage, and whether your 1950s-era concrete block lot needs extra post work where old slabs sit uneven. If you live west of NW 22nd Avenue or closer to the 33147 corridor, you already know the ground here holds water differently than it does five miles east. That affects how fast we can dig and pour. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your lot, measure it, and hand you a written line-item price before any work starts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Gladeview’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and still answers his own phone. That’s not a slogan, it’s the reason homeowners in Gladeview keep calling us instead of a national outfit that quotes one number on the phone and shows up with another. Tom’s sons run the crews. The name on the truck is the name on the contract, and the same two hands that shake yours at the estimate are the ones checking post depth on day two.
We pull permits through Miami-Dade County on every eligible fence job. Gladeview is unincorporated, so there’s no city hall fast lane, which is exactly why you want a contractor who has been through that county queue hundreds of times. We know which forms the county wants, which inspectors schedule fastest, and how to keep a permit from stalling your fence for three extra weeks. If a price changes for any reason, you get a written change order before the work happens. Not after.
Our Fence Installation Services in Gladeview
Wood Fence
Wood remains the most common choice in Gladeview for one honest reason: privacy. The lots off NW 17th Avenue and throughout 33147 sit close together, and a 6-foot pressure-treated pine or cedar fence gives you back your backyard. The catch is humidity. Gladeview’s 90% summer moisture and salt air from Biscayne Bay will warp cheap pine inside of three years. We use kiln-dried stock, galvanized hardware, and concrete footings poured below the muck line so your posts don’t heave when the water table rises in June.
Chain Link Fence
For affordability and security around a rental or a side yard, galvanized chain link is still hard to beat in Gladeview. A typical 150-foot run costs less than half of a comparable wood installation, and it stands up to the wet season without cupping or splitting. We set posts a full 24 inches deep in this soil, which is deeper than code minimum, because the shallow Miami Limestone can make a shallow-set post wobble within a year.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is the quiet workhorse of Gladeview: no rot, no rust, no repainting, and it shrugs off the daily afternoon downpours we get from June through October. For homeowners between 50 and 70 who want a fence they’ll never have to think about again, this is usually the answer. Plan on $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard Gladeview lot, depending on height and gate count.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron without the next decade of rust battles that salt air promises. It’s a strong pick for corner lots along NW 79th Street where visibility matters, and it handles our high-velocity wind loads better than wood in a named storm. We install a heavier-gauge post than what you’ll find at a big box store, because we’ve seen what a tropical storm does to a thin-walled post set in sandy limestone.
We also build Fence Installation gates, repair rotted posts, and replace entire sections after a storm or a car bump. And if you’re redoing the fence because the whole yard needs a reset, ask us about Driveway & Pavers in Gladeview, since a new fence and a new driveway done at once saves you a second round of permits and mess.

Trusted Brands We Service in Gladeview
We stock and install fence hardware and post systems from manufacturers you can look up, not mystery names off a van. For fence-related hardscape and gate aprons, we work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers, two brands with published specs and structural warranties. For post footings and gravel retention, we use Quikrete mixes rated for high-moisture, high-salt environments like this one. That matters in Gladeview because the same cheap bag of concrete that works in Orlando fails here. We’d rather pay a little more at the supply house than come back in eighteen months to reset a leaning post.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Gladeview Homes
- Heaved posts from the summer water table. Gladeview sits on shallow Miami Limestone and the June-October wet season pushes groundwater nearly to the surface. Footings that aren’t deepened and dewatered will lift or tilt within two or three seasons. We over-dig by four to six inches and use quick-set high-strength concrete to beat the water.
- Rail rot at the joint. The salt air that drifts in from the bay and the constant 90% humidity love to rot untreated horizontal rails first. When we tear out an old Gladeview fence, the posts are usually fine; the rail ends are what’s crumbling. We use pressure-treated rails and stainless fasteners.
- Wind stress on tall privacy sections. Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone means a 6-foot privacy fence acts like a sail in a storm. We set posts deeper and space them slightly closer on the windward side of lots near open fields or the expressway overpasses, where gusts actually hit harder.
- Gate sag on sidewalk-adjacent lots. Gates that face a public sidewalk, common on NW 17th Avenue and NW 22nd Avenue corners, take daily punishment from kids, delivery carts, and yard service wind. We build gates with a cross-brace that runs compression-correct and use heavier hinges than code asks for because a sagging gate in Gladeview is a security issue, not a cosmetic one.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Gladeview, FL
A typical fence job in Gladeview lands between $3,500 and $9,000. A modest chain link side fence starts around $3,500. A full perimeter wood privacy fence on a standard 6,000-square-foot lot usually runs $5,500 to $8,000 with gates. Vinyl comes in at the top of that range, and aluminum sits a bit above. The honest answer on what moves the number is this: linear footage, number of gates, whether we hit buried concrete or old foundations during post digging, and whether your fence triggers county permitting. We will not hand you a “good luck” allowance. Every number is on the line-item sheet, and any change comes as a written change order before the first shovel moves. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll measure your lot the same week.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Gladeview
We can usually measure your lot within three to five business days. Since Gladeview is unincorporated Miami-Dade, the fence itself depends on county permitting, which we handle for you. The estimate is free and comes as a written line-item sheet. Call (877) 610-1318 to get on the schedule.
Yes, we work all of 33147, from the blocks near NW 79th Street down to the residential streets west of NW 17th Avenue. We know the different lot shapes and setbacks in each pocket. There is no trip charge inside the county, so measuring your fence line costs nothing out of pocket.
We do. If a tree or a car takes out a section of fence, call us at (877) 610-1318. We can usually get a temporary safety brace up quickly and give you a written repair price the same visit. A downed fence is a security issue for your yard and any pool area, so we prioritize it.
Gladeview pricing sits in the same general range as nearby incorporated cities, but the county permitting layer can add a week or two to the timeline and a few hundred in fees that a city like Hialeah doesn’t require. That’s the tradeoff of living in an unincorporated enclave. We factor it into your written estimate from day one, so there’s no surprise when the county invoice lands.
Every Barrett & Sons fence carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something we installed isn’t done right, call Tom directly and he’ll come back and make it right. Beyond that, the materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we hand you in writing with the final invoice. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through exactly what’s covered.
