Fast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Ontario
Most fence quotes in Ontario fall between $3,500 and $9,000 for a typical residential install, and the job usually takes two to four days once materials arrive. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been building fences across the Inland Empire since Tom Barrett founded the company in 1998. Crews serving Ontario handle everything from privacy fences off Euclid Avenue to vinyl runs through Ontario Ranch’s newer tracts. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Ontario’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Nobody in Ontario is short on fence company options. What’s harder to find is a crew whose name is on the truck and whose owner picks up the phone. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews here, and they’re on-site most days, not managing from three states away. That matters when the Santa Ana winds knock a section loose in October or a gate sags two years after install.
Ontario homeowners here keep mentioning the same thing after jobs wrap up: the price on the final invoice matched the price on the written estimate. Every scope, every allowance, every change order lands on paper before work starts. If a post hole hits buried debris or the property line sits six inches off from where the survey says, you’ll see the adjustment in writing and sign off before we touch it. That’s how a fence job in Ontario should go. We also stand behind the work with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Fence Installation Services in Ontario
Different Ontario neighborhoods call for different fences. A craftsman bungalow in the older core near Euclid wants a cedar privacy fence. A house in Ontario Ranch on a compacted clay pad wants something that won’t fight the soil movement. Here’s what we install most across Ontario.
Wood Fence
Cedar and redwood privacy fences remain the most requested install in Ontario’s older neighborhoods, especially around the 1920s and 1930s homes off Euclid and Holt. We set posts in concrete below the frost line and use galvanized hardware so the fence doesn’t loosen when the Cajon Pass winds push through. Expect a typical Ontario wood privacy fence to run $3,500 to $9,000 depending on linear footage and gate count.

Chain Link Fence
Chain link is still the workhorse for Ontario backyards, dog runs, and commercial perimeters around the warehouse districts off I-10. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link with schedule-40 posts and tension bars that keep the wire from bowing. For Ontario homeowners who just need a secure perimeter without breaking the budget, chain link is the fastest and most economical option.

Vinyl Fence
Vinyl holds up well in Ontario’s 108°F summer heat and doesn’t warp or fade the way some cheaper composites do. We install solid vinyl privacy panels and semi-private lattice tops, mostly in the newer tracts of Ontario Ranch where homeowners want low-maintenance fencing that won’t need staining every two years. A standard vinyl privacy fence in Ontario typically costs $3,500 to $9,000.

Aluminum Fence
Aluminum suits Ontario homes with pools, front-yard enclosures, or a cleaner look around the perimeter. It won’t rust in the occasional winter rain and holds its finish against the summer sun. We install both ornamental aluminum with decorative finials and simple spear-top styles. Aluminum runs slightly higher than vinyl, usually $4,000 to $10,000 in Ontario depending on grade and gate hardware.
We also handle iron fence, fence repair, privacy fence, fence gates, and commercial fencing across Ontario’s industrial and residential zones. If you’re also planning a new hardscape, our Driveway & Pavers in Ontario crew can coordinate the fence footings with paver edges so the lines stay clean.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ontario
We install and repair Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT fence and perimeter products, along with hardware from major gate manufacturers. That means when a vinyl panel cracks or an aluminum gate latch fails, we can get the matching replacement locally instead of ordering through a phone tree and waiting six weeks. Ontario customers get parts matched to their existing fence, not a close-enough substitute off the van. If your fence butts up against an ADU or a future addition, our Home Additions & ADU in Ontario team can run the fence and the structure plans together so setbacks and easements line up the first time.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Ontario Homes
After nearly three decades of fence work in this area, we can tell you exactly what goes wrong and how to avoid it. Here are the issues we encounter most often in Ontario:
- Expansive clay shifting posts in Ontario Ranch. The south end of Ontario sits on former agricultural land that was cut, filled, and graded aggressively. Clay soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, and we regularly see fences in the 91761 ZIP code leaning or posts pulling up within a few years of install. We pour deeper footings and use longer posts on those lots.
- Santa Ana wind damage along the Cajon Pass corridor. In fall, gusts funnel through the pass and hit Ontario fences broadside. We see more broken pickets and blown-over sections in October and November than any other time of year. Bracing and post spacing have to account for that wind load up front.
- Property line disputes in the older core. In Ontario’s original neighborhoods around 91764 and the historic district, property lines don’t always match where fences have stood for fifty years. Before we dig, we confirm the survey and flag any discrepancy so you don’t inherit a boundary problem.
- Rotten posts from sprinkler overspray. Ontario homes built in the 1950s and earlier often have irrigation running right against the fence line. Constant moisture at the post base rots wood posts in a few seasons. We use gravel beds at the base and keep the concrete collar above grade when we see this condition.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Ontario, CA
Fence installation in Ontario typically costs between $3,500 and $9,000 for a standard residential wood or vinyl privacy fence. Aluminum runs $4,000 to $10,000. Chain link comes in lower for the same linear footage. What moves the number is linear feet, fence height, gate count, and whether the old fence needs removal and disposal. Access matters too: a tight side yard off a narrow Ontario lot means more hand-digging and slower work than an open Ontario Ranch backyard.
Every estimate includes a written line-item scope, so you see exactly where the money goes before signing anything. If something changes mid-job, the change order hits paper first. That’s how Tom Barrett has run Barrett & Sons since 1998. We’ve never sent an Ontario customer a surprise invoice. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written price you can hold us to.
