Fence installation in North Andrews Gardens typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on material, linear footage, and whether you need gates or permits pulled through Broward County.

Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate.
We work throughout the 33334 zip code, from the streets off Andrews Avenue to the residential blocks near NE 56th Street. Tom Barrett’s sons run our fence crews, and they know Broward County’s permitting process better than most because we’ve been doing it here for 29 years. Fence work in North Andrews Gardens isn’t just digging post holes. It’s verifying jurisdiction, meeting wind-load code, and keeping your fence standing through hurricane season.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is North Andrews Gardens’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Most fence companies in Broward treat North Andrews Gardens like just another job. We don’t. This is an unincorporated enclave, and every permit goes through the Broward County Building Division instead of a local city hall. We’ve navigated that process hundreds of times, and we do it without making you chase paperwork. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number on every estimate. Look it up before you sign anything.
Our North Andrews Gardens customers tell us the same thing: they’ve been burned by outfits that quote one number over the phone and show up with a different bill. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before we move a single post. You’ll see the cost in writing, agree to it in writing, and that’s the price. Nothing else shows up at the end.
We stand behind every fence we build with our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If a gate post shifts or a latch won’t close right after we leave, Tom comes back and fixes it. One call. That’s it.
Our Fence Installation Services in North Andrews Gardens
We install and repair wood, chain link, vinyl, aluminum, iron, and privacy fences, plus fence gates and commercial fencing. In North Andrews Gardens specifically, we recommend aluminum and chain link for most properties because of the wind-load and drainage realities here. Here’s what we do most often:
Aluminum Fence Installation in North Andrews Gardens
Aluminum is the workhorse for North Andrews Gardens homes built between 1955 and 1975. These are mostly single-story CBS homes with generous lots, and aluminum fence gives you clean sight lines, no rust, and a profile that holds up in wind. The key is wind-load rating. Broward County is in a high-velocity hurricane zone, and a compliant aluminum fence installation includes hinges, posts, and panels rated for the wind exposure your specific parcel has. We pull that documentation and submit it with the permit package. A cheap fence doesn’t.
Chain Link Fence Installation in North Andrews Gardens
Chain link remains the most budget-friendly option for full perimeter fencing in North Andrews Gardens, especially on corner lots and properties that back up to canals or drainage easements. The shallow water table here means post-setting needs extra care. We encapsulate posts properly in concrete to prevent the shifting that shows up after the June through September rainy season.
Wood Fence Installation in North Andrews Gardens
Wood privacy fences work well on North Andrews Gardens lots, but they demand proper sealing and pressure-treated posts to survive our humidity and afternoon thunderstorms. We use kiln-dried posts rated for ground contact and set them with concrete footers that account for the sandy-limestone substrate. If you want a wood fence that won’t lean after two wet seasons, it’s in the footing and the drainage.
Vinyl Fence Installation in North Andrews Gardens
Vinyl fence is a solid mid-range choice for North Andrews Gardens homeowners who want privacy without yearly staining. The panels flex in high winds rather than snapping, and they never rust or rot. The catch is post concrete depth and proper gate reinforcement. We set vinyl posts in the same 30-inch-deep footers the county inspector wants to see for aluminum, because vinyl will rack and warp if the base shifts.
Trusted Brands We Service in North Andrews Gardens
We stock and install product lines from manufacturers our crews trust and that carry the wind-load documentation Broward County asks for. That includes fencing systems designed for South Florida’s high-velocity hurricane zone, and we keep common repair parts on hand so North Andrews Gardens customers don’t wait on a backordered hinge or latch. If your fence came from a box store, we can still service it. If it has a manufacturer’s spec sheet, we can document compliance. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you what a compliant replacement looks like before you spend another dollar.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in North Andrews Gardens Homes
Fences fail in North Andrews Gardens for predictable reasons. Here are four we see routinely:
- Posts set without proper concrete encapsulation. The shallow water table and sandy-limestone substrate under North Andrews Gardens mean a post set in loose backfill will shift after the rainy season. We saw this on a mid-1960s CBS home off NE 56th Street, where our crew pulled a Broward County permit for a 140-foot aluminum fence with two drive gates. The county inspector required the gate posts to be set in 30-inch-deep concrete footers due to the sandy-limestone substrate, and we sequenced our concrete pours before the afternoon thunderstorms that shut down exterior work daily in August. Final inspection sign-off came after the inspector verified the wind-load rating on the gate hinges matched the product documentation we submitted with the permit package.
- Wrong-jurisdiction permit. Lots on the same street in North Andrews Gardens can fall under different authorities. Pulling a county permit for a parcel that turns out to be incorporated Oakland Park means starting the permit process over from scratch. We verify every parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before we pull anything.
- Fence systems without documented wind-load compliance. After a storm, your insurance company asks for proof the installation met code. If your installer never pulled a permit or can’t produce the product documentation, you can end up with a denied claim. A compliant fence in North Andrews Gardens comes with paperwork, not promises.
- Gate posts sagging or binding. Drive gates on fence lines with daily use need reinforced posts and hinges rated for the panel weight. Cheap hinges wear out fast in South Florida humidity and wind. We install gate hardware rated for the load and verify it during the county inspection.

FAQs - Fence Installation in North Andrews Gardens
Your permit comes from whichever jurisdiction actually governs your parcel, and in unincorporated North Andrews Gardens, that’s the Broward County Building Division, not Oakland Park or Fort Lauderdale. Lots on the same street can fall under different authorities, so we verify every parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before pulling a permit. Pulling the wrong jurisdiction’s permit means the process restarts from zero. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your parcel for you free.
Your fence system must meet the high-velocity hurricane zone wind-load requirements that Broward County enforces for your specific parcel’s exposure category. That includes the panels, the posts, and the gate hinges. A compliant quote includes product documentation showing the wind-load rating, and the county inspector verifies it at final inspection. A cheap quote skips that paperwork, and your insurance company can deny a storm claim because of it. We submit the documentation with every permit package we pull.
It’s almost always the same cause: shallow post setting over the sandy-limestone substrate and high water table that runs under eastern Broward County. During the June through September rainy season, the ground gets saturated, and a post set in loose backfill shifts. Proper installation means concrete encapsulation to the depth the county inspector requires, typically 30 inches or more for gate posts. We set posts that deep and sequence our pours around the afternoon thunderstorms that shut down exterior work daily in August. Get a free estimate by calling (877) 610-1318.
Most straightforward residential fence permits in North Andrews Gardens clear the Broward County Building Division within two to four weeks, though hurricane-season demand and parcel-specific reviews can stretch that. We submit complete packages the first time, including the wind-load documentation the inspector will ask for, because resubmissions are what actually eat weeks. If your project needs an expedited path, we’ll tell you honestly whether that’s available for your scope. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk it through.
Some insurers in Broward County offer premium adjustments for documented wind-mitigation improvements, and a fence that meets the high-velocity hurricane zone requirements can be part of that picture. The key word is documented. Your installation needs a signed permit inspection and product documentation showing the wind-load rating. We provide both on every fence we build in North Andrews Gardens. If your agent asks for paperwork after we finish, you’ll have it. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll talk through what your specific project includes.
