AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Kendall
Fence installation in Kendall, FL typically runs between $3,500 and $9,000 for a standard residential yard, depending on the material and linear footage. Most Kendall homeowners tell us the same story: they called a company that gave one price over the phone and a different number at signing. We do it differently. Tom Barrett puts the scope in writing, the allowance in writing, and every change order in writing before a single post goes in the ground. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail box.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Kendall’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. When you see a Barrett & Sons truck in your Kendall neighborhood, the name on the door is the name of the guy who’ll be standing in your yard. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or check the license yourself.
We know Kendall’s 33156 ZIP well. The homes here aren’t all the same, and a fence job needs to account for that. Some blocks are original 1970s and 1980s tract homes. Others were rebuilt after Hurricane Andrew tore through in 1992. A property on the same street can have different setbacks, different soil fill, and different existing fence lines depending on what year the rebuild happened. That’s not something a call center in another state figures out over the phone. It’s something you see when you’ve worked these streets for 29 years.
We answer calls 24/7, and we’re in Kendall regularly. No dispatched strangers, no franchise van. Background-checked crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name, and Tom lives close enough that if something isn’t right, he wants to know about it.
Our Fence Installation Services in Kendall
Wood Fence
Wood fences are the most common request we get in Kendall, and for good reason. They give you privacy from the neighbors and they hold up well when they’re built right. The heat and humidity in Kendall will find every weak joint in a cheaply built wood fence within two or three years. We use pressure-treated posts set in concrete and galvanized hardware. A typical wood fence for a Kendall backyard runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on height, linear feet, and gate count.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the workhorse choice for Kendall homeowners who care more about containing dogs and kids than creating a privacy screen. It’s the least expensive option per linear foot and it survives hurricane season without much fuss. We can do galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link in black, green, or gray. If you’re on a budget but don’t want something that looks like a utility yard, ask about the vinyl-coated option.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Kendall runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard yard. Vinyl makes sense here because it won’t rot in the humidity and it won’t warp the way untreated wood does after a few heavy rain seasons. The catch is that vinyl needs deeper posts than wood because it flexes more in high wind. Kendall sits in Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so we set vinyl posts with extra concrete and use thicker wall posts than you’d see farther north. That’s a local code and wind-load reality, not an upsell.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence installation for a Kendall home typically lands between $4,000 and $10,000. It’s the right pick for pool enclosures and for homeowners who want a clean look without the maintenance of iron. Aluminum won’t rust in Kendall’s salt-adjacent air, which is a real concern even this far inland when you factor in hurricane-driven rain and humidity. We install residential-grade and commercial-grade aluminum panels with Miami-Dade NOA-approved hardware where required.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Rotted posts from high water table soil: Kendall sits on oolitic limestone bedrock with a seasonally high water table. Posts that sit in constantly damp soil rot faster here than in drier Florida markets. We set wood posts in concrete that extends below the typical damp zone and use pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact.
- Wind-load failures from hurricane exposure: A fence that’s not engineered for Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone can rack and lean after one good summer storm. We size post depth and concrete footings for wind load, not just for looks.
- Property lines that don’t match the survey: It’s common in 33156 to find that the old fence sits a few inches or a few feet off the actual property line. We pull the survey before we dig so your new fence doesn’t inherit an old mistake.
- Pre-Andrew rebuilds with mismatched fence heights: On blocks where Hurricane Andrew forced partial rebuilds, you’ll see fence heights that change mid-run because different owners rebuilt at different times. We can tie into existing runs cleanly and bring everything to a consistent height where code allows.
