AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Pelican Bay
A complete fence replacement or new fence installation in Pelican Bay typically costs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on material, footage, and whether the parcel sits in a flood zone that requires higher-spec post anchoring. Most single-family lots take 3 to 5 working days once posts are set, though the real timeline driver here is not the labor. It’s the Pelican Bay Foundation Architectural Review Committee submittal, which runs 6 to 8 weeks before Collier County will look at your permit. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property, check the Foundation’s current approved-material list, and give you a written line-item estimate the same day.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned and operated by Tom Barrett since 1998. Our crews serve Pelican Bay local, and scheduling is coordinated from our Miami office in South Florida. What that means for you is a live person answers the phone when you call, and Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable before you sign a contract.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Ask anyone in Pelican Bay who has done a fence the wrong way, and you’ll hear the same story: a Naples contractor quoted a price, showed up with materials the Foundation had never approved, and burned six weeks waiting on a denial letter that should have never been sent. We’ve run the ARC gauntlet enough times in this community to know the Foundation’s pre-approved material palette by heart. That’s the difference.
Tom and his sons run the crews themselves. This is not a franchise dispatching strangers. When we show up to a Pelican Bay job, the face you see at the door is the same face you’ll see at the hardware store Saturday morning. It’s an owner-operated name-on-the-truck business, which is why every price change arrives as a written change order before a single post goes into the ground. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
We carry strong local reputation in Pelican Bay for exactly this kind of work: fence replacements, privacy screens, aluminum lines, and post-storm repair. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is on every contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. He lives twenty minutes away; if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
Our Fence Installation Services in Pelican Bay
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence is the most common enclosure we install in Pelican Bay, and for good reason. It clears ARC aesthetic standards easily, rates well for coastal exposure when specified correctly, and handles the humidity without warping. A full aluminum perimeter on a standard inland lot in Pelican Bay runs $4,000 to $10,000. The single biggest failure point we see is standard steel fasteners, which salt-laden air off the Gulf turns to rust in two seasons. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized on every connection, every time.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl privacy fence in Pelican Bay starts around $3,500 and tops out near $9,000 for larger parcels or taller panels with gate work. In neighborhoods like Bay Colony and along the Gulf-facing corridor, the Foundation’s pre-approved palette is limited to specific whites and off-whites, and we work strictly within it. Vinyl holds up well against salt and sun here, but only if posts are set with concrete collars above the soil line. Bare-end posts buried in sand lean within a season.
Privacy Fence
Privacy fence in Pelican Bay usually means a vinyl panel run on zero-lot-line properties or along rear property edges that face common areas. Not every setting allows it. Coach homes and certain zero-lot-line layouts have specific ARC restrictions on height and setback, and we handle that paperwork before a single post hole is dug. Expect to spend $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard run, with gates adding $800 to $3,000 depending on width and hardware.
Wood Fence
Wood fence in Pelican Bay requires Foundation approval, and yes, that catches people off guard. Pressure-treated pine and cedar both need specific stain or sealant specs to pass review in most single-family sections. Then you’re fighting humidity and standing water for the life of the fence anyway. We install it well when a homeowner wants it, but for most Pelican Bay parcels we steer conversations toward aluminum or vinyl first, because those outlast wood here by a decade or more.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. On Pelican Bay fence lines, we run materials you can look up: Simonton, Ply Gem, and PGT are the names we quote most often on the vinyl and aluminum side. Our Fence Installation team stocks local parts for these systems, which means a gate hinge or post cap replacement isn’t a two-week special-order wait. When the Foundation asks for the material spec sheet, we already have it in hand.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- Salt-air fastener failure on aluminum and vinyl lines. Standard zinc-plated screws and bolts dissolve in two seasons this close to the Gulf. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized on every fence we touch in Pelican Bay, because the difference shows up in sagging gates and loose rails before the final punch list is even signed.
- Posts set at the county minimum 24-inch depth on sandy soil. Pelican Bay sits on low-bearing-capacity sand that shifts after summer storm cycles. A post set without a concrete collar leans by the following spring. We set posts above grade with concrete collars on every job, and in AE flood zones we use hot-dipped galvanized post bases.
- Unapproved materials triggering ARC denial letters. Show up with a chain-link fence or the wrong vinyl profile and the Foundation rejects the submittal. That’s a 4-week re-submittal delay before the county permit process even starts. We only spec from the Foundation’s pre-approved list, and we submit an informal Foundation review before finalizing design documents, shaving a full review cycle off the schedule.
- Gate hardware sized for inland use, not coastal exposure. Springs, hinges, and latch posts take the worst of the salt air and humidity. We upgrade gate hardware to marine-grade on every Pelican Bay job, because a gate that sticks or sags within a year is a call we don’t want you to have to make.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Pelican Bay, FL
Here’s what we quote for Pelican Bay fence work, based on what we’ve installed across the community in the last few years. These are full turnkey numbers, including ARC submittal, permit pull, materials, labor, and cleanup.
| Service | Typical Range (Pelican Bay) |
|---|---|
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000-$10,000 |
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Fence Gates | $800-$3,000 |
Aluminum runs toward the higher end when the line is long, when the parcel has irregular grade, or when we’re in an AE flood zone and need elevated post bases and concrete collars. Vinyl pricing varies with panel height and gate count. Every quote we give is itemized in writing before work starts, and any scope change comes as a written change order, not a phone call surprise. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate for your Pelican Bay fence line.
How the Pelican Bay Foundation ARC Process Actually Works
Here’s the part most generic fence installation guides, and plenty of Naples contractors, get wrong. Every fence in Pelican Bay must clear two separate approvals: first the Pelican Bay Foundation Architectural Review Committee, then Collier County’s building permit office. The Foundation has its own submittal calendar and pre-approved material palette, and they review aesthetic consistency before the county ever looks at structural code. That sequence takes 6 to 8 weeks on a clean file, longer if you submit materials that aren’t on their list.
On a recent vinyl fence job in the Bay Colony neighborhood, our crew worked off the Foundation’s pre-approved white vinyl palette and stainless steel post anchors to replace a rusted aluminum fence line. Because the parcel sits in an AE flood zone, we used hot-dipped galvanized post bases and set posts above grade with concrete collars, then handled both the ARC submittal and Collier County permit pull, so the owner never had to call the Foundation once. That’s how it should work.
The hook nobody tells you until the denial letter arrives: contractors unfamiliar with the Foundation’s submittal calendar lose weeks waiting for rejection notices because they skipped the informal review step. Locals know to get informal Foundation staff feedback before finalizing design documents. We do that on every Pelican Bay job. It’s not extra work; it’s the work.
What Materials the Pelican Bay Foundation Actually Approves
For single-family lots in Pelican Bay, the Foundation’s pre-approved fence types lean heavily toward white and light-neutral vinyl privacy panels, and aluminum in muted finishes that match the community’s architectural character. Wood is allowed in certain sections with a Foundation-approved stain or sealant spec. Chain link is generally not approved for residential front-facing or perimeter use. If you are unsure what your street allows, call us before you buy materials. We will check the current list and tell you straight what will pass, because an allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Pelican Bay
Yes. Every fence replacement in Pelican Bay needs Pelican Bay Foundation ARC approval first, then a Collier County building permit. The ARC step is aesthetic review, and the county step is structural. We handle both in sequence, and we submit an informal Foundation review before finalizing documents to avoid a re-submittal cycle. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll start that paperwork the same week you sign.
For single-family lots, the Foundation approves white and light-neutral vinyl privacy panels, aluminum in muted finishes, and wood with a Foundation-approved stain or sealant. Chain link is generally not approved for residential perimeter use. We spec from the current pre-approved list on every job, so you don’t get a denial letter. A quick call to (877) 610-1318 gets you the current list for your street.
Salt-laden air from direct Gulf exposure corrodes standard steel fasteners, gate springs, and post anchors in about two seasons. That’s the failure we see most. We spec stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and marine-grade gate hardware on every Pelican Bay aluminum fence. It shifts a 5-year fence into a 20-year fence, and the material cost difference is under a few hundred dollars.
Sometimes. Zero-lot-line and coach home parcels have specific ARC restrictions on fence height, setback, and sometimes whether a privacy fence is allowed at all. We check the Foundation’s current guidelines for your specific address before we quote, and we’ll tell you straight if privacy is not an option. If it is, expect similar vinyl pricing to the $3,500 to $9,000 range above, with the addition of any gate work.
We take a standard deposit to lock scheduling, and then every scope change, material substitution, or added gate is issued as a written change order before the work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is on every contract, so if a gate sags or a post settles in the first 90 days, one call brings Tom back. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
