Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Hollywood’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
West Hollywood isn’t like the rest of LA County when it comes to construction. The city runs its own building department, keeps its own plan-check queue, and sends its own inspectors to the job site. That’s not a headache for us. It’s the reason West Hollywood homeowners call Barrett & Sons. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he’s been pulling permits through WeHo’s system long enough to know which plan reviewer likes footings called out at 24 inches and which inspector wants to see the property-line survey before we set the first post. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him.
We’re the owner-operated Fence Installation outfit that West Hollywood homeowners keep calling back. Tom’s sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers. When a price changes, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s the Barrett & Sons way, and it’s why our customers in West Hollywood don’t hand us work once and disappear. They call again when the next project comes up.
Our Fence Installation Services in West Hollywood
Wood Fence
Wood fencing remains the most requested option in West Hollywood, and for good reason. The courtyard bungalow complexes and 1950s dingbat apartments that dominate WeHo’s housing stock call for fencing that can be built to odd lot lines, stepped on slopes, and matched to existing stucco and landscape. We build with pressure-treated structural posts, cedar or redwood pickets, and hardware that won’t rust out after two years of the marine layer rolling up from the coast. A standard 6-foot privacy run in West Hollywood typically runs $3,800-$7,000 depending on linear footage, gate count, and whether the city requires a soils report for the post footings.

Chain Link Fence
For West Hollywood apartment building owners and commercial property managers, chain link is often the smart, budget-conscious call. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and fast to install. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in the 90069 area, including security-height runs and gated enclosure work. Chain link fencing in West Hollywood generally runs $2,500-$5,500 for a standard residential-looking build, with commercial runs priced per linear foot after a site walk. If your property sits on one of the clay-heavy hillside-adjacent lots, we’ll make sure the post depths account for the seasonal soil movement.

Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence installation in West Hollywood makes sense for homeowners who want the look of a painted wood fence without the repainting cycle. White vinyl privacy panels hold up well against WeHo’s UV exposure and the occasional winter rain, and they won’t warp the way cheap big-box panels do. We build vinyl fencing with aluminum-reinforced rails where needed and set posts in concrete to fight the shrink-swell cycle that West Hollywood’s expansive clay soils are known for. Expect vinyl fence installation in West Hollywood to run $3,500-$6,500 for a typical side and rear property installation.

Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fencing is the fence West Hollywood property owners choose when they want security without blocking the view. It’s common around the mid-century apartment buildings and mixed-use structures that line the streets from Fairfax to La Cienega, where a full privacy wall just isn’t the right fit. Aluminum fence installation in West Hollywood typically runs $4,000-$10,000 depending on gate count, panel height, and whether we’re matching an existing driveway gate or building fresh. The powder-coated finish holds up against years of West Coast sun, and we stock touch-up materials for local customers when a panel gets scraped.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Hollywood
We don’t run mystery materials off the back of a van. When a West Hollywood fence calls for premium hardware, we reach for brands you can look up. For gate hinges, latches, and post caps, we regularly install products from GAF’s accessory lines alongside the heavier-duty gate hardware we’ve carried for years. We keep common replacement parts stocked for West Hollywood customers, which means when a gate hinge fails or a vinyl panel cracks, we’re not waiting a week for a shipment from the other side of the country. We also handle Driveway & Pavers in West Hollywood when your fence project turns into a bigger property face-lift.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes
- Expansive clay soil on hillside-adjacent lots. The near-zero rainfall from May through September shrinks the clay, then winter rains make it heave. Posts set too shallow in this soil will lean within two years. We set footings deeper and use concrete collars on any ground-disturbing permit in those north-of-Santa-Monica areas.
- Tight property lines in courtyard bungalow complexes. Many 1920s-1940s courtyard buildings in West Hollywood were built before modern setback rules. When we replace a shared fence, we often have to coordinate with the neighboring property owner and the city’s plan checker to get the survey and encroachment details right before digging starts.
- Rent-controlled tenant buildings still occupied during construction. West Hollywood’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance is one of the strongest in the state. If a fence job touches a dingbat apartment building with tenants in place, we work around their access needs and the city’s habitability rules. The city’s own plan-check queue and inspectors treat this as a separate permitting universe, and we’ve been through it enough times to know the drill.
- Gate and hardware failures from coastal moisture. Even though West Hollywood is a few miles from the ocean, the morning marine layer brings enough moisture to rust cheap gate hardware fast. We see it constantly on older fences, especially around the 90069 area. We use galvanized and stainless components so the gate doesn’t start sticking after one winter.
Pricing for Fence Installation in West Hollywood, CA
Here’s the honest money talk. A typical fence installation in West Hollywood runs $3,500-$9,000. Wood privacy fences run $3,800-$7,000 for a standard yard. Aluminum lands at $4,000-$10,000. Vinyl sits at $3,500-$6,500. Chain link comes in lower at $2,500-$5,500.
