That is the honest range we quote here, before anyone shows up with a tape measure. If you live along NE 16th Avenue or over by Royal Palm Park, you have probably seen fences that lasted thirty years and fences that rotted in five. The difference is almost always what went into the ground and what got bolted to it. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will walk your property line and give you a written number.

Most Oakland Park homes built in the 1950s and 1960s sit low on monolithic slabs, with property lines that were never meant to hold the kind of privacy walls people want today. That changes how we set posts, what hardware we spec, and where the inspector will look first. We have been doing Fence Installation in this part of Broward County long enough to know which yards hold water after a summer storm and which corner lots catch the afternoon wind off the Intracoastal.

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. When you call Barrett & Sons Construction, a live person answers, not a call center in another state. We coordinate Oakland Park work from our Miami office, and the crew that shows up wears our name on the shirt and the truck.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Oakland Park’s Preferred Fence Installation Company

We are the name-on-the-truck option. Tom Barrett will tell you his name, his address, and his license number before you sign anything, because he believes you should be able to look him up. The last contractor a lot of Oakland Park homeowners used told them permits were optional. They are not, and the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That is exactly why we like him.

Every job gets a written scope, written allowances, and written change orders before any change touches the work. No surprise invoice at the end. If it is not done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back, no fine print and no runaround. That promise is written on every contract we hand to Oakland Park customers in zip code 33334.

Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. We carry premium materials you can look up by name, and we do not swap in mystery brands off a van. When a homeowner on NW 21st Avenue asks us what we are installing, we can hand them the actual product sheet.

Our Fence Installation Services in Oakland Park

Wood Fence in Oakland Park

Wood privacy fences are the most requested style in Oakland Park, especially on the residential blocks between Andrews Avenue and Dixie Highway where neighbors sit close together. We build with pressure-treated pine for budget-conscious yards and cedar when you want a fence that shrugs off South Florida humidity better. Wood fences in Oakland Park typically run $3,500 to $7,500 depending on linear footage and gate count.

The real enemy here is ground contact. Oakland Park’s shallow water table means posts set below grade sit in damp soil most of the year. We set posts in concrete with the crown up and the cut end treated, which is the difference between a fence that stands straight for fifteen years and one that leans into your neighbor’s yard after three summers.

Chain Link Fence in Oakland Park

Chain link is the practical choice for the many single-story CBS ranch homes in Oakland Park that just need a boundary, not a visual wall. We do galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, from 4-foot residential runs to taller commercial enclosures along the Dixie Highway corridor. Most Oakland Park chain link jobs land between $2,500 and $5,000.

Even chain link fails early if the tension bars are done wrong. We see it on older lots where a previous handyman pulled the fabric too loose, leaving a wavy top rail and a gate that drags. We tension the fabric properly and set the terminal posts first, which takes an extra hour and prevents five years of sag.

Vinyl Fence in Oakland Park

Vinyl fences handle Oakland Park’s wet season better than almost anything else we install. The material does not rot, does not absorb groundwater, and cleans up with a hose after the summer mold season. A typical vinyl privacy fence in Oakland Park runs $3,500 to $9,000, with the higher end covering full privacy heights and multiple gates.

Not all vinyl is equal, and you can see the difference in the thickness of the wall extrusion. We stock heavier-gauge vinyl posts and rails rather than the thin box-store panels that turn brittle after a few hurricane seasons. If a windstorm cracks a section, we match it and swap it rather than telling you to live with it.

Aluminum Fence in Oakland Park

Aluminum fencing is the right call for Oakland Park homeowners who want a clean, open look without rust streaks running down the pickets. It works well on corner lots along NE 26th Street where you do not want to block sight lines but still need a barrier. Aluminum fence installation in Oakland Park usually falls between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on grade and panel count.

We use powder-coated aluminum, not the thin painted stuff that chips at the first weed trimmer contact. In Oakland Park’s salt-tinged air, even a few miles inland, powder coat is the difference between a fence that looks new in five years and one that looks tired in two.

Trusted Brands We Service in Oakland Park

We carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers wherever hardscape details meet the fence line, and we use Quikrete concrete mixes for post setting in Oakland Park’s damp subgrade. When we build a fence that includes a paver walkway or a turf strip, you are getting named materials you can look up, not whatever was left on the truck, and we apply that same standard to Bathroom Remodeling in Oakland Park. We keep common post brackets, gate hinges, and post caps stocked for fast turnaround in Oakland Park, so a gate repair is not a two-week wait for a special order.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Oakland Park Homes

• Posts heaving out of ground soaked by the water table. Oakland Park’s water table sits two to four feet below grade in many lots, and the wet season from June through October saturates the soil. A post set at eighteen inches without a proper concrete collar will start to rise and shift within two years. We set posts deeper with a clean concrete footing and allow drainage, because we have pulled too many leaning fences out of Oakland Park yards.
• Rotted wood where the panel meets the slab. The monolithic slabs on Oakland Park’s 1950s and 1960s ranch homes shed water toward the property edges. The bottom rail of a wood fence ends up sitting in pooled runoff, and untreated lumber turns soft fast. We use ground-contact-rated material for the bottom rail or raise the panel off the slab with a rot board.
• Gates that sag because the post was never set for the swing weight. A wide gate on a vinyl fence weighs more than people think, and a post set in a shallow hole will lean under that load by the second season. We set gate posts in a larger footing with cross-bracing and steel inserts, so the gate closes the same way in year five as it did on day one.
• Property line mistakes on irregular Oakland Park lots. A lot of homes around Royal Palm Park and along Dixie Highway have angled side lines or overlapping easements. Fences built on a guess end up in a dispute with the neighbor or the city. We pull the survey before we set the first post, and that $400 step has saved Oakland Park customers thousands in teardown and redo costs.
