AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lighthouse Point
Most fence work in Lighthouse Point comes down to two things: salt air and canal-front lots. We’ve installed fences on finger canals off Sample Road, behind homes along Lighthouse Drive, and on narrow residential streets where the rear property line meets a seawall rather than a neighbor’s yard. Those conditions change which post anchors we use, what hardware we spec, and how we approach the footer. You can get a fence crew from Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach, but you’ll get one that doesn’t automatically think about marine-grade fasteners until it’s too late. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your fence in Lighthouse Point needs, and what it will cost.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lighthouse Point’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and the person who answers your call is a live human being, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. That matters when you’re trying to schedule a fence around the June-October wet season, or when a canal-front gate won’t swing after a summer of salt spray. We answer 24/7.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the Barrett & Sons name on their trucks. You won’t get a rotating cast of subcontractors. You’ll deal with Tom, his sons, and the same crew from the first stake-out to the final inspection. If you want to verify us before signing anything, look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number. They’re published, and they’re real.
We’re not the fastest bid, and we don’t try to be. We’re the one that shows up when we say we will, puts every change order in writing before work moves an inch, and stands behind the finished fence with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. One call brings Tom back if something isn’t right. No fine print, no phone tag.
Our Fence Installation Services in Lighthouse Point
We handle the full Fence Installation range here, but in Lighthouse Point a few materials rise to the top for reasons specific to this city. Here’s what we install most often, and why.
Wood Fence
Wood fences look right on Lighthouse Point’s older CBS ranch homes, but untreated pine lasts a fraction of its inland life here. Salt air corrodes fasteners, and ground contact rot accelerates when the water table sits within two feet of grade. We spec pressure-treated posts and hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware so a wood fence in Lighthouse Point holds up for what it should. Expect $3,500-$9,000 for a typical canal-lot backyard.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the workhorse for Lighthouse Point homeowners who want security around a dock or side yard without blocking water views. The catch here is that standard zinc chain link rusts fast along the Intracoastal. We run aluminum-zinc coated (galvanized) fabric with stainless tension bands and post caps. It costs a little more up front and it’s the only way to avoid replacing a chain link fence every six or seven years.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl handles Lighthouse Point’s salt environment better than wood or uncoated metal, which is why it keeps gaining ground here. It won’t pit, peel, or rust. The weak point in any vinyl install is the post, so we pour footers at least 24 inches deep, set posts in concrete, and use aluminum stiffeners inside the rails so a vinyl fence doesn’t fold in a summer squall. $3,500-$9,000 covers most residential projects in 33064.
Aluminum Fence
For canal-front lots, an aluminum fence gives you the clean sightline of wrought iron without the rust problem that plagues iron fences in Lighthouse Point. We run powder-coated residential-grade aluminum with stainless post anchors. If you’re fencing a pool enclosure, which half the canal lots here need for code, this is the material we recommend most. Aluminum fence installs in Lighthouse Point typically fall between $4,000 and $10,000.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lighthouse Point
We stock and install premium fence materials because the brand name on the package is the only way for you to verify what’s going into the ground. For hardscape-adjacent fence work, we regularly use Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for integrated fence and paver looks, and Quikrete for post footers. That spec matters on Lighthouse Point lots where a rear fence line butts against a seawall cap or a paver pool deck. We keep common post anchors, stainless fasteners, and gate hardware in stock for this area, so your fence doesn’t wait two weeks on a part from a warehouse.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lighthouse Point Homes
- Salt-air fastener corrosion. Uncoated steel bolts and nails fail years early within a few blocks of the Intracoastal. We see gates sag and rails pull loose because a previous contractor used hardware-store fasteners and called it done. We use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless throughout, no exceptions.
- High water table rot on wood posts. The water table here often sits within 18-24 inches of grade. Posts that aren’t set deep in concrete, or that sit in standing water, rot from the bottom up. We dig deeper, gravel-drain the hole, and use rated pressure-treated posts.
- Seawall setback conflicts with fence lines. The city’s finger-canal lots are narrow and deep, and the rear yard setback can overlap the required seawall setback. We’ve seen fences get torn down after an inspector flags the placement. Before we dig, we check the plat and the code, and pull the permit when it’s required.
- Gate failures from wind and salt. Gates on canal lots catch full-force salt-laden wind off the water. Light-gauge hinges and latches give out. We hang gate frames with through-bolted stainless hinges and adjustable latches built for that constant movement, so you’re not re-hanging a gate every year.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Lighthouse Point, FL
A typical vinyl or wood privacy fence in Lighthouse Point runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard residential yard. Aluminum comes in at $4,000-$10,000. Chain link is usually the low end. What moves the price: canal-front access (we sometimes have to hand-carry materials through a side yard), a high water table that calls for deeper footers, and, on some lots, the need to route the fence around an existing seawall cap or a paver deck. You’ll get a written, line-item quote before any work starts, and if the scope changes, you’ll get a written change order before we touch it. No surprise invoice at the end, ever.
