AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lewisville
A new fence in Lewisville typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for most residential lots, and the materials you pick, the yard’s access, and whether your home sits on Blackland Prairie clay or a lakefront parcel all move that number. If you’re calling around Lewisville for fence estimates, you’ve likely already noticed the price spread. Here’s the thing: a fence is only as straight as what’s underneath it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the line with you, show you what’s there, and put every number in front of you before anyone digs a hole.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lewisville’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and he still answers his own phone. His sons run the crews. When you call about a fence in Lewisville, you’re not getting a call center in another state reading from a script, and you’re not getting a subcontractor nobody vetted. You get a name you can look up, an address you can verify, and a crew that shows up wearing the Barrett & Sons name.
Lewisville customers call us because the fence they installed ten years ago is leaning, or the gate won’t latch, or the HOA sent a letter about the rotted pickets. We’ve worked those streets. We know the clay in 75067 and the lakefront parcels in 75057 and the HOA packets in Castle Hills. That local knowledge keeps you from paying twice for the same fence.
Every estimate is a written line-item scope. If something changes once we start digging, you get a written change order with a price before we touch it. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract, in plain print: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the whole deal.
Our Fence Installation Services in Lewisville
Wood Fence
Cedar and pressure-treated pine are the workhorses across Lewisville’s older neighborhoods, especially the 1970s and 1980s brick-veneer homes in 75067 and 75057. Wood gives you the privacy and the classic look most Lewisville buyers expect. We set every post 30 to 36 inches deep because anything shallower moves with the clay, and we wrap the posts with crushed limestone and a concrete collar to keep irrigation overspray and soil moisture from rotting them out below grade.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is still the right call for a lot of Lewisville yards: dog runs, pool enclosures where code requires a specific height and latch, and side yards that just need a boundary. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link and we do it with the same post-setting depth we use on privacy fences. A leaning chain link fence in Lewisville is almost always a shallow-post problem, and we don’t repeat it.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in Lewisville runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical residential lot. It’s become the most requested fence in 75077 subdivisions like Castle Hills, where HOAs often prefer vinyl for its clean lines and zero-maintenance look. We pull the HOA design packet before we bid, because a fence installed without design-review sign-off in a master-planned Lewisville community gets torn out at the owner’s expense.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence installation in Lewisville starts around $4,000 and runs up to $10,000 depending on grade and linear footage. It’s a common choice for lake-adjacent homes in 75057 and any lot where view matters more than privacy. Aluminum won’t rust the way iron does in North Texas humidity, and it holds up in the wind coming off Lake Lewisville. We install it level and true, with American-made panels when the HOA calls for specific profiles.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lewisville
We stock premium materials our crews actually trust, the same way we spec GAF on roofs. For fences, that means sourcing direct-milled cedar, heavy-gauge vinyl, and commercial-weight aluminum through suppliers we’ve used for more than two decades. Tom’s rule is simple: install a product you’d put on your own house. We don’t swap in mystery brands off a van. If you want to research the material before you sign, we’ll tell you exactly what it is and where it comes from.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lewisville Homes
- Shallow posts on Blackland Prairie clay. Most fence failures in Lewisville start exactly here. A 24-inch post set in this clay moves with the seasonal shrink-swell cycle, leaving gaps at the bottom and a gate that won’t latch after the first wet-dry run. Our crews dig 30 to 36 inches, backfill with crushed limestone, and pre-wet the soil during the July and August heat so the concrete cures right.
- Lakefront permit chokepoints in 75057. A fence on a Lake Lewisville-adjacent lot can require both a city floodplain development permit and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 review. Skip that and you get a stop-work order mid-install plus a re-inspection fee over $500. We pull the right paperwork before we dig, because we’ve watched that mistake happen on other crews’ jobs.
- HOA design-review surprises in 75077. Castle Hills and other master-planned Lewisville communities have private architectural standards on top of city code. A vinyl replacement that looks fine to you might violate the HOA’s material or height spec. We pull the HOA packet before we bid, so you don’t get a tear-out letter after the fence is up.
- Rot and termite damage hidden in old fence lines. In 1970s neighborhoods across 75067, the original fence line often has posts rotted out below grade from years of irrigation overspray and clay moisture. You won’t see it until the old posts come out. We account for that in the estimate, and any additional rot we find during rough-in comes to you as a written change order before we hang a single board.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Lewisville
Yes, in most cases you do. Lake Lewisville is an Army Corps of Engineers reservoir with actively managed water levels, and a significant share of the city’s buildable parcels fall within FEMA-designated Special Flood Hazard Areas. Lakefront and near-shore lots in 75057 typically require both a city floodplain development permit and a Corps Section 404/Nationwide Permit review, which can add 6 to 10 weeks to the timeline. We handle that coordination for Lewisville fence jobs so you don’t get a stop-work order mid-project. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your lot before you spend anything.
Lewisville fence posts need to go 30 to 36 inches deep, not the 24 inches that’s often quoted around the rest of DFW. The city sits squarely on expansive Blackland Prairie clay, and the seasonal shrink-swell cycle will heave a shallow post out of plumb within one or two wet-dry cycles. We backfill with crushed limestone and a concrete collar, and in July and August we pre-wet the soil before pouring so the concrete doesn’t flash-cure against dry clay. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll show you exactly what’s under your existing fence line before anyone digs.
Yes. Castle Hills and most master-planned subdivisions in 75077 have architectural standards that add a private design-review layer on top of city permitting. A vinyl fence that doesn’t match the HOA’s approved material, height, or color spec can get flagged for removal at your expense. We pull the HOA design packet before we bid so you know the full review timeline and restrictions up front. Call (877) 610-1318 and tell us your subdivision, and we’ll get the packet pulled so your estimate reflects the real job.
We stop and show you, in writing, what we found and what it will cost to fix, before we hang a single board. On one 1980s brick-veneer ranch off Valley Ridge Blvd in 75067, our crew set a 6-foot cedar privacy fence along a side lot that had been patched twice before. When we pulled the old posts, three of the original holes had rotted out below grade from irrigation overspray and clay moisture, and the fence had leaned 8 degrees after a May rain. We re-dug every hole to 36 inches, wrapped posts in gravel and a concrete collar, and wrote a change order for six linear feet of rot-damaged bottom rail before continuing. That’s how we handle every Lewisville fence repair: inspect first, write the change order, then build. Call (877) 610-1318 and get the same treatment on your fence.
Denton County gets more frequent winter ice storms than areas just south of the metroplex, and those storms can shut down active job sites abruptly. When that happens, we pause the job, protect any open work, and restart when conditions allow proper cold-weather concrete curing. If your fence project is scheduled between December and February, we’ll build that weather risk into the timeline so your posts cure right the first time. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic schedule on your Lewisville fence.
