AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Pelican Bay
The Pelican Bay Foundation runs a tight architectural ship, and if you’ve lived here through even one ARC review cycle, you already know it. Fence installation in Pelican Bay runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a typical vinyl or aluminum project on a single-family inland lot, and the first number that matters isn’t the bid. It’s whether your contractor has ever sat through a Foundation submittal before. Tom Barrett and his sons have. We’re on-site in Pelican Bay most weeks, we know the pre-approved material palette, and we pull Collier County permits on every eligible job before a post hole gets dug. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and ask for Tom. He answers his own phone.
Key takeaways:
- Pelican Bay fence projects run $3,500-$9,000 for typical residential installations
- Dual-track approval: Pelican Bay Foundation ARC review plus Collier County permits
- Salt-laden Gulf air means stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware, not box-store fasteners
- Written change orders before any scope change, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from three counties away. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom’s own sons run the crews. In Pelican Bay, that matters in a specific way: the Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee wants to see a contractor who shows up to the pre-submittal meeting, not one who faxes a spec sheet from a warehouse. Our Fence Installation team has walked enough Pelican Bay parcels to know which lots sit in V-zone versus AE flood designation, and how that changes what the Foundation will approve along the western corridor.
We answer the phone with a live person, day or night, and if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a slogan. It’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract we sign in Pelican Bay. You can look up Tom’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. We’d rather you did.
Our Fence Installation Services in Pelican Bay
Most Pelican Bay homeowners we talk to want one of four things: a privacy fence on an inland estate lot, an aluminum perimeter fence approved by the Foundation, a vinyl fence that won’t pit in salt air, or a repair that the last contractor walked away from. Here’s how we handle each in Pelican Bay.
Wood Fence
Pressure-treated pine and cedar are both common in Pelican Bay’s inland single-family neighborhoods, and both fail faster here than in inland Collier County. The salt-laden Gulf air doesn’t rust wood, but the humidity and standing water after summer thunderstorms rot posts at the soil line within six to eight years if they’re not set in concrete with drainage gravel below. A typical wood privacy fence in Pelican Bay runs $3,800 to $8,500 depending on linear feet and whether the Foundation requires a specific stain or opaque finish. We set posts in concrete and use galvanized steel brackets on every stringer, because the last thing you want is a fence that leans after its first rainy season.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the budget workhorse, and in Pelican Bay it usually lands between $3,500 and $5,500 for a standard galvanized residential run. The catch here is the coating. Uncoated galvanized chain link near the Gulf corridor starts showing rust speckling within two to three years. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or polymer-coated mesh for Pelican Bay homes, and we tell you the cost difference up front in writing. No surprises at the end.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fences in Pelican Bay typically run $3,500 to $9,000, which is the same range as most aluminum work. The advantage on a Gulf-exposed lot is obvious: vinyl doesn’t corrode. The disadvantage is heat. Direct sun on Pelican Bay’s western-facing corridor pushes vinyl fence surface temperatures over 140°F in July, and cheap panels can warp or sag if posts aren’t spaced correctly. We use thicker-walled vinyl sections and set posts in concrete every six feet, because a sagging vinyl fence is the first thing the Foundation’s ARC reviewer notices on a drive-by.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is what the Pelican Bay Foundation approves most often for perimeter fencing, especially on estate lots where the submittal calls for something that reads as ornamental rather than barricade. Expect $4,000 to $10,000 for a typical aluminum fence in Pelican Bay, depending on height, grade, and finish. We stock architectural-grade aluminum from names like PGT, which you can look up. The fasteners are stainless steel, always, because zinc-coated hardware pitting through a powder-coated aluminum rail is a warranty claim waiting to happen in this salt air.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
We install a lot of PGT aluminum and vinyl fence systems in Pelican Bay, along with Ply Gem vinyl sections on inland lots and Simonton gates and hardware where the Foundation submittal lists them. We don’t bring mystery brands off a van. You can look up every product we quote, and we keep spare pickets, rails, and latch hardware on hand for Pelican Bay repair calls so you’re not waiting on a freight truck. If it’s listed in the ARC submittal, we know how to spec it.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- Salt-corrosion on galvanized hardware. Pelican Bay’s direct Gulf exposure means unprotected fasteners, hinges, and gate latches rust through in two to three years. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized on every coastal-parcel job, even when a cheaper quote says standard zinc is fine. It isn’t.
- Posts set without drainage gravel in sandy, low-bearing soil. Pelican Bay’s sandy soils drain fast but hold little bearing capacity, and a post set in concrete without a gravel base will settle and lean after the first heavy summer thunderstorm. We dig deeper and backfill with crushed stone on every post.
- ARC submittals kicked back for wrong material or finish. The Pelican Bay Foundation’s ARC has a pre-approved material palette, and a contractor who doesn’t know it loses three to six weeks waiting for a denial letter. We get informal Foundation staff feedback before finalizing designs, which shaves a full review cycle off the schedule.
- Vinyl fence warping on west-facing lots. The late-afternoon Gulf sun in Pelican Bay is brutal on thin-gauge vinyl, especially along the western corridor. We see warped panels and popped rails on fences installed by crews that spaced posts too wide. Our spec is tighter, and it’s written into the scope before we start.
