AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Pompano Beach Highlands
Fence installation in Pompano Beach Highlands typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard vinyl privacy fence, and most jobs wrap up in two to four days once permits clear. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been installing fences in this neighborhood long enough to know what happens when you dig a post hole here. The water table sits high, the soil drains slow, and a fence built without accounting for those facts starts leaning before the first hurricane season ends. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your property, check the lot grade, and give you a written line-item estimate before anything gets signed.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pompano Beach Highlands’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that work in Pompano Beach Highlands today. That matters because the person who quotes your fence is the same person who answers the phone when you call about it later. We don’t sell a national brand name and then hand your job to a subcontractor who’s never seen a high-water-table lot. Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts, they’re background-checked, and they know the difference between setting a post in dry Georgia clay and setting one in South Florida limestone that weeps groundwater at 30 inches.
We’ve worked up and down NE 14th Avenue, around the sections off Dixie Highway, and through the quiet streets south of Sample Road. Homeowners in the 33064 ZIP code call us because they’ve already been burned by a fence company that quoted one number over the phone and showed up with another. Our policy is plain: every scope item, every allowance, every price change comes as a written change order before work proceeds. If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t exist. And every job is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If the fence isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Fence Installation Services in Pompano Beach Highlands
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl is the most popular fence material in Pompano Beach Highlands, and for good reason. The neighborhood’s 1960s and 1970s CBS homes sit under relentless UV exposure and salt humidity that rot wood and pit aluminum fast. A vinyl privacy fence handles both without painting or staining, and it meets Broward County wind-load requirements when properly engineered. We install 6-ft and 8-ft vinyl privacy panels from manufacturers we can name, and we back the installation with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. A typical vinyl fence in Pompano Beach Highlands runs $3,500-$9,000 depending on linear footage, gate count, and whether we hit ledge or water table during post setting.
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum fences work well around pools, property lines, and anywhere you want a barrier without losing sight lines. In Pompano Beach Highlands, we spec aluminum with a maritime-grade powder coat because the ambient salt humidity corrodes cheaper finishes at screw contact points within a few years. Most east-facing aluminum fences here show rust bleed at the rail screws by year five if they weren’t installed with stainless fasteners and touch-up sealed. We do it the right way from day one. Aluminum fence installation in Pompano Beach Highlands generally runs $4,000-$10,000 depending on height, gate hardware, and post anchoring conditions.
Fence Repair
Leaning posts, popped panels, rusted rails, gates that drag on the ground. We see all of it in Pompano Beach Highlands, and most of it traces back to one thing: post holes that weren’t dug deep enough or backfilled correctly for this neighborhood’s water table. We reset posts with gravel weep holes and proper concrete collars, re-hang panels, replace rotted rails, and get your fence standing plumb again. Fence repair here runs $400-$1,800 depending on how many posts need resetting and whether we’re matching existing material.
Beyond vinyl and aluminum, our Fence Installation team also handles wood fences, chain link, iron fencing, privacy fences, fence gates, and commercial fencing for HOAs and small businesses in the area. If it’s a fence, we’ve probably fixed or installed one just like it within ten minutes of your street.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pompano Beach Highlands
We stock and install fence systems from manufacturers you can look up, not mystery brands off the back of a van. For privacy and pool barriers in Pompano Beach Highlands, we regularly work with Belgard’s fence line for aluminum and vinyl options, and we keep common replacement parts on hand so a repair doesn’t stall for two weeks waiting on a freight shipment. We also carry Cambridge Pavers for fence post foundations and gate pads where a poured collar or paver base makes sense. The point is simple: when you call about a warranty part or a match-up repair, we can usually get it done the same week, not next month.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Pompano Beach Highlands Homes
- Post-hole collapse from the shallow water table. Dig 30 inches down on many lots in the 33064 ZIP code and you hit groundwater. Dry-set posts without gravel backfill and a proper concrete collar shift within one rainy season, popping panels out of their bottom rails.
- Aluminum rails corroding at salt-humidity contact points. Screws that pierce powder coating without sealant become rust points. Along east-facing property lines, the salt air accelerates this. We use stainless hardware and touch-up sealant on every aluminum install.
- Wood fence posts failing at the ground line. Untreated #2 pine posts sitting in constant slab-edge saturation from the neighborhood’s nearly zero-grade lots rot out in under five years. We recommend pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact or, better, switching to vinyl or aluminum in wet sections of the yard.
- Wind damage from hurricane-season gusts. Fences that pass a dry-season install can still rack and lean when June crosswinds hit. We set posts deeper than minimum code where the lot grades toward a swale or canal, and we use 4,000-psi concrete so the fence stays put when the storm bands roll through.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Pompano Beach Highlands, FL
What you’ll pay depends on the material, the linear footage, the number of gates, and what we find under the surface. Here are current market ranges for Pompano Beach Highlands:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500-$9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000-$10,000 |
| Fence Repair | $400-$1,800 |
If you have a 1968 CBS home on a flat lot in the Highlands, expect the water table to play a role. Post holes that hit groundwater at 28 inches need gravel backfill and larger concrete collars, and that’s material and labor a quickie quote won’t include. We price it honestly from the start. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll put every number on paper before you commit to anything.
Why a Fence Permit in Pompano Beach Highlands Changes the Job
Broward County requires permits for most fence replacements, and pulling a fence permit through the Pompano Beach Building Division triggers inspection checkmarks that generic fence companies don’t mention. The inspector looks at post depth, concrete encasement, and wind-load anchoring. In Pompano Beach Highlands specifically, the high water table means our post holes often need inspection before and after concrete pour. We handle all of it: we pull the permit, we coordinate the inspection schedule, and we don’t cover anything over or backfill anything until the inspector signs off. That’s not a hassle we pass onto you. It’s how we keep your fence standing through a named storm and your insurance renewal clean.
One more thing about Pompano Beach Highlands’s pre-1994 concrete block homes. The walls themselves are solid, but the lot drainage wasn’t designed for modern fencing. Zero-grade lots mean water pools at the fence line after every afternoon thunderstorm. We grade a slight slope away from the fence, set posts with weep holes at the base, and use gravel beds under the concrete so water doesn’t sit against the post and rot or rust it from below. These are details a generic fence page never covers, and they’re the difference between a fence that looks good for one wet season and one that’s still plumb in five years.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Pompano Beach Highlands
Yes. Most fence replacements and all new fence installations in Pompano Beach Highlands require a permit through the Pompano Beach Building Division. The permit triggers inspections for post depth, concrete encasement, and wind-load anchoring. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and make sure the sign-off happens before we backfill or cover anything. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm your specific lot’s permit requirements.
Yes, but not the way you might think. Your concrete block wall is not the anchor. Fence posts are set in the ground with concrete footings, not attached to the house wall, so the block itself doesn’t carry fence weight. The real issue on 1960s CBS lots in Pompano Beach Highlands is the soil. The high water table and porous limestone mean posts need deeper setting and gravel backfill, or the fence leans after one wet season. We account for that on every quote.
Because Pompano Beach Highlands sits in a salt-humidity zone where cheap aluminum powder coating fails fast at screw contact points. We spec maritime-grade coating, stainless hardware, and post-set methods designed for the high water table. Those materials and steps add cost up front but save you from replacing rails and hardware five years in. Expect $4,000-$10,000 for a typical aluminum fence here.
We start by setting posts deeper than minimum code, then add gravel weep holes at the base of each footing so groundwater drains instead of building up pressure against the post. We also grade a slight slope away from the fence line and use 4,000-psi concrete with a wider collar at the surface. These are the same methods we’ve used on dozens of Pompano Beach Highlands vinyl installs. The fence stays plumb through the wet season.
We stop, hand-bell the hole to a wider footing, place gravel at the base for drainage, set the post, and pour concrete around it. We’ve done this on most lots in Pompano Beach Highlands. Our crew recently hit groundwater at 28 inches on eleven of fourteen post holes while setting a 120-ft vinyl privacy fence off NE 14th Ave, and we still passed the Broward County inspection on the first visit. The price doesn’t change on you: that’s what the written estimate is for.
If you’re pricing a fence in Pompano Beach Highlands, call us at (877) 610-1318 for a free, no-pressure estimate. We’ll walk the lot, check the grade, and tell you exactly what it’ll take, in writing, before you sign anything.
