AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Pomona
Fence installation in Pomona typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential yard, with simpler chain link jobs landing on the low end and custom privacy fences with gates pushing toward the upper range. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been building fences in Pomona long enough to know what the soil does to a post here. If you’re tired of looking at a leaning fence line or you need a new one before escrow closes, call Tom and his crew at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get you a straight answer and a written estimate.
Pomona isn’t like the coastal cities. The clay here swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and the Santa Ana winds push hard through the valley in fall. That’s why we don’t set posts the way a crew out of Long Beach might. More on that below. First, here’s your quick takeaway.
Key Takeaways
- Most Pomona fence jobs cost $3,500-$9,000, and we put that in writing before work starts.
- Every price change arrives as a written change order. No surprises on the final invoice.
- We pull permits and get inspections signed where required. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published for you to verify.
- Every fence gets the 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pomona’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We show up. That sounds simple, but in Pomona it’s the thing homeowners tell us they can’t find. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still runs jobs with his sons on-site most days. When you call about a fence in the 91766 or 91768 ZIP code, you’re not getting a call center or a national outfit that sends whoever’s available. You’re getting us.
The reviews from Pomona customers point to the same things: we answer the phone, we hit the date we said, and the price on the contract is the price on the final bill. That matters more than any sales pitch we could write. If you live near Ganesha Park or up toward the 91797 side of town, you’ve probably watched a fence go in that took three weeks and two different crews. We run one crew, start to finish.
We also know what the Pomona building department looks for. Setback lines, property pins, easement checks off the alley. We handle the permit on the fence when one’s called for, and the inspector signs off before we call the job done. That’s not something every fence contractor in Pomona bothers to mention until the county stops the work.
Our Fence Installation Services in Pomona
Wood Fence
Wood fences are what most Pomona homeowners ask about first, and for good reason. They give you real privacy, they take stain or paint well, and they suit the character of the mid-century tract homes across the 91766 and 91767 neighborhoods. We build with pressure-treated posts and cedar or redwood for the visible boards, and we set posts deeper than code minimum in Pomona clay. The soil here shifts; a shallow post leans within two years, especially after a wet winter followed by a dry summer.
A wood privacy fence in Pomona typically runs $3,500-$7,000 for an average 150-foot perimeter. Gates add $400-$1,200 each depending on width and hardware.
Chain Link Fence
If you need containment more than privacy, chain link is the working fence. Dog runs, pool enclosures, side yards along Holt Avenue commercial strips. Chain link holds up better than wood in Pomona’s 50-60 mph Santa Ana gusts because the wind passes through it rather than taking it sideways. We use galvanized posts set in concrete and stretch the fabric tight, so you don’t get the saggy middle you see on older fences around town.
Chain link in Pomona runs $2,500-$5,500 for a typical yard, depending on gauge, height, and whether you want privacy slats woven in.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is the low-maintenance option more Pomona homeowners are choosing when they’re tired of sanding and staining every few years. It holds color, it doesn’t rot, and it cleans with a hose. The tradeoff is that Pomona’s summer heat cycles can make cheap vinyl brittle over time. We use a heavier-gauge product that’s rated for high UV exposure, which matters on west-facing fence lines that get full afternoon sun off the San Gabriels.
Vinyl fence installation in Pomona runs $3,500-$9,000, which includes removing your old fence if you have one, plus disposal.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron without the rust problem, which is relevant in Pomona because we do get real rain, and we get weeks of damp marine-layer mornings in spring. Aluminum powder-coats instead of rusting, and it’s lighter to handle, which means faster installs on sloped lots. If your property backs up to a hillside or a drainage channel, aluminum is often the smart pick.
Aluminum fence in Pomona runs $4,000-$10,000. The range comes down to panel height, post spacing, and whether we’re core-drilling into concrete or setting in dirt.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pomona
We’re picky about what goes on the truck. For hardscape work that ties into a fence, we stock Techo-Bloc and Belgard products because they hold up to Pomona’s freeze-thaw-and-swell cycle better than the big-box pavers we’ve seen crack along driveways in the 91769 area. On the fence side, we work with manufacturers who build hardware that doesn’t corrode in valley smog and moisture, not mystery brands off a van. If you’re doing a fence and a driveway at the same time, ask us about coordinating the excavation so you don’t pay for equipment twice. We also handle Driveway & Pavers in Pomona for homeowners who want the fence, gate, and hardscape to match.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Pomona Homes
- Posts leaning in expansive clay. The soil here swells when the rainy season hits and contracts in the summer. Posts set in shallow holes or without enough concrete lean within two to three years. We over-dig and set post bases below the high-shrink zone, which is the difference between a fence that stands straight for fifteen years and one that needs re-setting by year three.
- Wind shear from Santa Ana events. Fall gusts at 50-60 mph tear the top rails off fences that were never designed for lateral load. In Pomona, especially on the north-south fence lines that catch the wind down from the mountains, we use heavier posts and steel brackets, not just nails into end grain.
- Old fences on unpermitted property lines. A surprising number of Pomona fences, especially in the postwar tract neighborhoods of 91767, were built by previous owners without checking the actual property pins. The fence looks fine until a survey during escrow shows it’s two feet onto a neighbor’s land. We pull the survey before we dig, so you don’t buy a fence twice.
- Rusting metal posts on pre-1960 homes. In the Lincoln Park area and other older sections, we find original steel post fences that have been rusting below grade for decades. They look solid at the surface and crumble at the base. We replace them with either galvanized steel or powder-coated aluminum and we show you the old post when we pull it.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Pomona, CA
Here’s honest pricing for a Pomona fence, not a phone quote with fine print. The market here runs higher than the national averages because of the soil work and the wind loading, but lower than much of LA County. The big drivers are linear feet, fence height, whether you need the old fence demo’d and hauled, and what the soil looks like when we set the first post. A rot board at the base adds a little; gates are priced separately and they’re the part people usually underestimate. If you want a written line-item quote before you commit, that’s exactly how we write it. No allowances off the top of our head, no round numbers pulled from the air. Fence Installation with Barrett & Sons means the price on page one of the contract is the price you pay, unless we send you a written change order first.
Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom will walk the property with you, measure everything, and send the estimate the same day. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate, so if another Pomona contractor has already quoted you, bring it in and we’ll tell you honestly if it’s fair, low, or missing something obvious.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Pomona
Most residential fence installations in Pomona take two to four days on-site once we start, depending on the length, the number of gates, and how much of the old fence has to come out first. Before that, there’s the estimate, the survey if we need one, and permit time if your fence is over the height limit or adjacent to a corner lot. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a real timeline based on your yard, not a promise we can’t keep.
Yes. We build fences across all four Pomona ZIP codes: 91766, 91767, 91768, and 91769, plus the newer sections of 91797. We’re familiar with the tight side yards in the postwar tracts around Westmont and the larger corner lots up near Phillips Ranch. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, call and ask; if we can’t get to you promptly, we’ll say so.
We do both. The most common repair calls in Pomona are leaning posts from clay shift, sections blown over by Santa Ana winds, and gate sag where the hinges pulled out of a weathered post. We usually repair for $400-$1,800 depending on what’s wrong, and if the repair isn’t worth the cost on an older fence, we’ll tell you that straight and give you a replacement price instead.
Pomona sits in the same general price band as La Verne and Diamond Bar, but we price for the soil conditions here. The clay and the wind loading mean we use more concrete per post and heavier hardware than we’d specify in a sandy-soil coastal town. That adds a few hundred dollars across a whole fence, and it’s why our fences don’t need re-setting three years in. The total range for a standard wood privacy fence in Pomona is $3,500-$9,000.
Every fence we build in Pomona is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract. If something isn’t right, one call to (877) 610-1318 brings Tom back to make it right, no back-and-forth and no invoice. Beyond that, the materials carry their own manufacturer warranties, and we’ll show you the paperwork before you pay. Permits get pulled on eligible jobs and the inspector signs off, so you’re not left holding a fence the city later flags.
