Fence Installation in Palm Beach - Free On-Site Quote, HOA Approval Handled

Fast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Palm Beach

Fence installation in Palm Beach, FL typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard property, and most jobs take two to five days once permits clear. On this island, though, the real variable isn’t labor or materials - it’s the town’s Architectural Commission (ARCOM) review, which applies to nearly every exterior change and can add 60 to 90 days to a schedule before we even file for the building permit. That’s why you want a crew that knows the island’s rules cold, not a company that will show up, start digging, and get red-tagged at the first inspection. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been running fence jobs through Palm Beach’s approval process long enough to tell you what will pass the first time and what won’t. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your property with you before you sign anything.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Palm Beach’s Preferred Fence Installation Company

Tom Barrett puts his name on every contract, and his sons run the crews that show up at your house. This isn’t a franchise that bills as a local shop and dispatches strangers from two counties away. When you call, a live person answers - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - and Tom himself will come out to look at your fence line before any numbers get written down. That matters on an island where ARCOM requires detailed material specifications, finish samples, and site plans before a permit application even moves forward. A contractor who fumbles the submittal will burn three months of your time and still charge you for the privilege.

Palm Beach homeowners have been calling us for years - whether they need Kitchen Remodeling in Palm Beach or fence work - because we are upfront about what ARCOM will ask for and what it costs to comply. We pull permits on every eligible job and stand there when the inspector signs off. Every price change - every allowance, every scope adjustment - arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Nothing shows up on the final invoice that wasn’t on paper first. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s written on every contract: if the work isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. You’ll also find his name, address, and license number published for anyone to verify. Ask your neighbor. Or look it up yourself.

Our Fence Installation Services in Palm Beach

Wood Fence

Wood fences on Palm Beach need to be built for salt air, not just curb appeal. We use pressure-treated posts set in concrete with stainless steel fasteners throughout - standard galvanized hardware rusts out fast when the ocean is two blocks away. From horizontal privacy screens on South Ocean Boulevard to traditional picket lines along the North End, we build to the town’s height and setback rules so ARCOM sees a clean submittal the first time.

Chain Link Fence

Chain link is usually a pragmatic choice for utility enclosures, pool equipment screens, and trash-pad barriers on estate properties. Even here, Palm Beach requires a specific visual standard - posts and top rails need a finish that holds up to constant salt spray. We order hot-dip galvanized or vinyl-coated systems and install them with concrete footings sized for a high-velocity wind zone. Nothing flaps in a hurricane and nothing rusts through in two years if we are the ones putting it in.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl fencing in Palm Beach runs $3,500 to $9,000 for most residential lots, and it’s one of the most ARCOM-friendly options because it mimics the clean white lines common on Mizner-era estate boundaries without the maintenance burden of painted wood. The catch is that cheap vinyl panels sag in Florida heat and crack under storm loading. We source thick-walled, UV-stabilized systems and reinforce posts at the gate openings - the failure point we see most often in Palm Beach’s older properties.

Aluminum Fence

Aluminum fencing is the closest modern match to the ornamental iron look that defines so many Palm Beach estate perimeters. Expect $4,000 to $10,000 for a typical installation. The material is naturally corrosion-resistant, which is why we recommend it heavily within a mile of the ocean. We use powder-coated finishes rated for coastal exposure and stainless hardware at every connection. ARCOM reviewers recognize the profile, which helps the approval move faster.

We also handle iron fence, privacy fence, fence gates, commercial fencing, and repair of existing fence lines across the island. If it defines a property boundary in 33480, we have likely built or repaired something like it in Palm Beach.

Trusted Brands We Service in Palm Beach

We install and service fencing systems from manufacturers our crews trust: Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT all make hardware and railing components we stand behind on coastal properties. PGT in particular has a strong following among our Palm Beach customers because their products are engineered for high-wind zones like this barrier island - which matters when the building department checks the engineering table during plan review. Because we stock replacement panels and gate hardware locally, we are not waiting on a distributor’s truck in another county when a job calls for a mid-course correction. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what system fits your lot line and your ARCOM application. For our full Fence Installation lineup, we handle everything from residential privacy walls to estate-perimeter security fencing.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Palm Beach Homes

• Salt-air rust on fasteners and gate hinges. Within two blocks of the ocean, standard zinc hardware starts bleeding rust down white posts within a year. We specify stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized on every coastal fence line - no upcharge games, it’s simply the right material for this island.
• ARCOM disapprovals on the wrong material or height. We regularly see homeowners who bought a fence from a mainland builder, installed it, and then got a stop-work order because the style, height, or setback didn’t match the town’s architectural guidelines. The fix often costs more than the original fence. We handle the ARCOM submittal before we order a single panel.
• Shallow post holes in sandy island soil. Palm Beach sits on loose, sandy substrate with a shallow water table. Posts set less than 30 inches deep lean, and aluminum posts set too shallow will wobble in a strong easterly wind. We set posts to depth and use concrete footings sized for the wind zone, then document it for the inspector.
• Gate sag on older estate properties. Heavy iron or aluminum gates on Palm Beach’s pre-1940 estates often hang on hinges installed decades ago. Salt corrosion plus constant exposure wrecks the hinge pins. We rebuild gate frames, replace hardware with stainless units, and reset the piers so the gate doesn’t drag on its strike plate after year two.
