We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned and run by Tom Barrett since 1998. We don’t dispatch strangers to Kendall West. Tom’s sons run our crews, and someone with our name on the truck is on-site most days. That matters when you’re putting holes in the ground a few hundred yards from the Everglades buffer, where the water table sits close enough to the surface to rot out the wrong post in two wet seasons.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendall West’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Kendall West sits at the western edge of Miami-Dade’s built environment. The limestone is shallow, the water table is high, and the housing stock was mostly built between 1985 and 2000. That combination means fence work here is a different job than it is ten miles east. Post holes hit rock. Drainage fights you. And on homes built before August 1992, the county’s post-Andrew code requirements can turn a simple fence replacement into a wind-load retrofit. We’ve pulled permits in this corridor long enough to know what the inspector will flag before we dig the first hole.
Our Kendall West customers tell us the same thing: they got burned by an out-of-county contractor who didn’t know Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance system. The permit inspector rejected the materials on delivery day. That doesn’t happen with us because we know Fence Installation here means specifying NOA-rated products from the start. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. Scheduling for Kendall West is coordinated from our Miami office, and our crews work this neighborhood regularly.
Our Fence Installation Services in Kendall West
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum is what we recommend most often for Kendall West yards, especially on properties near the Everglades fringe. It doesn’t rot. It doesn’t warp in humidity. It handles the wind-load requirements well when set properly. For a standard aluminum fence installation in Kendall West, expect $4,000-$10,000 depending on linear footage and gate count.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl privacy fence is the most popular choice we install in Kendall West. Homeowners want the solid sight line it gives you on the 50-foot lots off Kendall Drive and along the feeder streets into Country Walk. Vinyl fence installation in Kendall West runs $3,500-$9,000. The key is setting posts deep enough and using concrete collars that account for the high water table.
Fence Repair
We see a lot of fence repair in Kendall West that other fence installers passed on: leaning posts, corroded hardware, gates that sag within a year. Repair work gets a straight quote before we start, and we don’t pad the scope once we’re on-site. If it’s a repair over $200, we take $40 off. That’s a standing offer, not a coupon we’re testing.
Wood Fence Replacement
Wood fences have a shorter life in Kendall West than most people expect. Pressure-treated pine can rot below grade within two wet seasons if drainage is poor on the flat limestone terrain. We’ll tell you straight if wood is a bad call for your lot, and we’ll show you the vinyl or aluminum alternative before you sign.

Trusted Brands We Service in Kendall West
When we install vinyl and impact-rated fence assemblies in Kendall West, we’re pulling from lines we can stand behind: Simonton for impact-rated components and Ply Gem for structural vinyl sections. Materials you can look up, not mystery stock off a van. These brands carry Miami-Dade NOA approvals, which matters every time an inspector walks a 33193 job site.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Kendall West Homes
- Galvanized steel posts corroding at the concrete interface within 5-7 years. The high water table near the Everglades buffer and occasional saltwater intrusion from the Biscayne Aquifer accelerate rust right at the grade line. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware instead.
- Surface-mounted fence bases failing wind-load checks on pre-1992 slabs. Older CBS homes predate the post-Andrew uplift reinforcement requirements, so a fence bolted to the existing slab won’t pass. We core-drill and set posts properly instead of chasing a failed inspection.
- Pressure-treated wood posts rotting below grade and leaning within two seasons. Flat terrain and poor drainage hold water against the post. We set posts in concrete collars and, on wood jobs, use barriers to keep the post out of standing water.
- Gate posts missing NOA-rated anchors on older homes. On a CBS home built in 1989 near the Everglades buffer, our crew pulled a permit for an aluminum fence and the inspector flagged the original gate posts for missing Miami-Dade NOA-rated anchors. We replaced them with hot-dip galvanized posts set in concrete collars and swapped all hardware to stainless steel, then called for inspection sign-off before the final grade.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Kendall West
You need the Miami-Dade NOA. The county’s Notice of Acceptance system is the strictest in the country, and inspectors in this western corridor are known to reject materials that carry a Florida statewide approval but lack the specific Miami-Dade product approval. Every material we specify in Kendall West carries the NOA before it hits your property. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly which fence lines qualify.
It can. Homes built before August 1992 predate the stricter Miami-Dade post-Andrew structural requirements, so a permitted fence replacement may trigger a review of existing roof-to-wall connections and lift reinforcement if the fence interacts with the structure. We’ll tell you what’s required before we pull the permit, and we’ll write every scope item down. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer on your specific house.
It’s the water table. Kendall West sits at the Everglades fringe with a persistently high water table, and there’s occasional saltwater intrusion from the Biscayne Aquifer. That combination accelerates corrosion at the concrete interface on ordinary galvanized hardware. We specify hot-dip galvanized or stainless hardware for every fence we install here. Call (877) 610-1318 if your current fence is showing rust at the base.
You need the right equipment and experience. The oolitic limestone under Kendall West is shallow and hard, and post holes often hit rock before the depth wind-load calculations require. We use core-drilling and, where the code allows, concrete collars to anchor posts into the limestone. That’s why we don’t recommend hand-digging any permitted fence job in this ZIP. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll assess your specific lot before quoting.
Aluminum and vinyl both hold up well against Kendall West’s humidity. Aluminum won’t rot or warp, and with the right hardware it handles the wind-load requirements. Vinyl gives you privacy and never needs paint. Wood requires the most maintenance in this climate, and on flat lots with poor drainage it can rot below grade quickly. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you both materials on your actual lot before you decide.
