AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Three Lakes
Fence installation in Three Lakes, FL typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a full vinyl or aluminum perimeter, and most projects take 2-4 working days once materials arrive. If you’re reading this, you’re probably sizing up a fence that needs to survive a named storm, not just look good on a Sunday afternoon. That’s the bar here. Barrett & Sons Construction has been running crews in and around Three Lakes long enough to know exactly what Miami-Dade’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone demands from every post, panel, and fastener. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk your property with you, put the scope in writing, and price it honestly the first time.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Three Lakes’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’re not a franchise and we don’t ship in strangers. Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews, and Tom himself shows up on most Three Lakes jobs before the first post hole goes in. That matters when you live in a neighborhood like Three Lakes, where most homes are 1990s CBS construction and the ground under your feet is oolitic limestone, not soft Florida sand. A crew that doesn’t know how to set posts in that rock will burn through auger bits and still end up with posts that wobble in a July thunderstorm.
We’ve rebuilt fences along SW 120th Street, SW 117th Avenue, and through the villa communities near the Turnpike, and the common thread on every job is the same: the permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way. Every eligible fence job gets a permit pulled and an inspection signed before we call it done. That’s not a favor. That’s Miami-Dade’s requirement, and it’s how we’ve kept our reputation intact for over 29 years, founded 1998, owner-operated from day one.
Our Three Lakes customers call the same phone number you will, and a live person answers it. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you’ve got a fence panel down after a storm and water is pooling against your slab, you want a voice that knows where Three Lakes is without asking for your zip code.
Our Fence Installation Services in Three Lakes
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum is the quiet workhorse of Fence Installation in Three Lakes. It resists the salt air that drifts up from the coast, doesn’t warp in the humidity, and, when installed with stainless brackets rated for 175 mph design wind speed, holds its own through the worst of hurricane season. A typical aluminum fence in Three Lakes runs $4,000-$10,000 depending on linear footage and grade. We source panels with current Miami-Dade NOA product numbers, log them with the county, and attach every rail with fasteners the wind can’t back out.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl privacy fence is the most popular choice for Three Lakes homeowners who want a clean property line without repainting every three years. Expect $3,500-$9,000 for a standard 150-foot vinyl perimeter. The catch in this market is uplift. Vinyl panels are light; if posts aren’t set 30 inches deep with a 12-inch concrete footing, the whole run goes over in a Cat 2. We set them right the first time.
Privacy Fence
Most privacy fences in Three Lakes are either vinyl or pressure-treated wood, and both have to answer the same question: will the fasteners hold when the wind gets under the panels? We use hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails or stainless screws on every wood privacy job. The cheap crews use 18-gauge nails because they’re fast. We don’t, because we’ve seen what nail pull-out looks like after a named storm.
Wood Fence
Pressure-treated wood fences still have a place in Three Lakes, especially for homeowners matching an existing fence line or working with an HOA that specifies wood. A pressure-treated wood privacy fence runs $2,500-$6,000 per 100 linear feet in this zip code. We build with posts sunk into concrete, rails lapped correctly, and pickets gapped for humidity expansion. Half the wood fences we replace fail because someone didn’t gap them and the boards buckled by August.

Trusted Brands We Service in Three Lakes
We carry aluminum and vinyl systems from manufacturers whose NOA numbers are current and on file with Miami-Dade product control. When you call for fence repair in Three Lakes, we don’t special-order parts from a catalog and wait three weeks; we keep the common rail brackets, post caps, and gate hardware for the systems we install in local inventory. Our paver and hardscape work pulls from Techo-Bloc, Cambridge, Oldcastle, and Quikrete, so if your fence project includes a paver walkway or a slab repair, we handle it on the same permit.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Three Lakes Homes
- Posts set at 24 inches instead of 30. A standard statewide Florida post depth won’t survive uplift in the HVHZ. We set posts 30 inches deep with a 12-inch minimum concrete footing on every Three Lakes perimeter fence.
- No Miami-Dade NOA product numbers on file. Out-of-area contractors show up with fence systems approved only at the statewide level. They fail inspection, the materials get sent back, and the homeowner waits another six weeks.
- No permit pulled. Neighbors notice. The county notices. A stop-work order lands, and now you’re paying fines on top of redoing the footing.
- Wrong fasteners on wood fences. 18-gauge nails back out under wind load. We use hot-dip galvanized ring-shank nails or stainless steel, rated for the design wind speed the county requires.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Three Lakes
A fence in Three Lakes must be engineered to Miami-Dade HVHZ standards, with systems and fasteners rated for design wind speeds of up to 175 mph. That’s the county requirement, not a preference. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you the product approvals before we break ground.
Yes. A fence replacement in Three Lakes requires a Miami-Dade building permit and a signed final inspection. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and make sure the NOA numbers are logged before the inspector arrives.
Aluminum and vinyl fence systems from manufacturers with current NOA numbers are the safest route for Three Lakes. Wood fences still need approved fasteners and proper post depth. We only install systems whose numbers we can show you in writing.
Fence posts in Three Lakes need to go 30 inches deep with a 12-inch concrete footing, minimum. The oolitic limestone under this zip code resists shallow augers, so we use hydraulic rotary hammers. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll show you exactly what’s under your fence line.
Yes. An unpermitted fence with unapproved fasteners can complicate a windstorm claim if the fence damages your home during a storm. A compliant, inspected fence with logged NOA product numbers gives your carrier less room to deny a claim. We document every job.
On a 1993 CBS home off SW 120th Street in Three Lakes, our crew replaced 160 linear feet of privacy fence with aluminum posts set 30 inches deep into the oolitic limestone. We used a hydraulic rotary hammer for each post hole, set posts in concrete with a 12-inch diameter minimum, and attached the fence panels with stainless steel brackets rated for 175 mph design wind speed. The job passed county inspection on the first visit after we logged the NOA product numbers for the fence system and fasteners with the Miami-Dade product control division. That’s how we build every fence in 33186.
