AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Weston
A new fence in Weston runs about $3,500 to $9,000 for most yards, and the job requires two approvals before you can even dig: a Broward County permit and sign-off from your village’s HOA Architectural Review Committee. Most Weston homeowners get stuck at the HOA step because the ARC rejects their design over picket profile, material color, or an inch of height. We handle both approvals for you, in writing, before the first post hole goes in. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom or one of his sons will walk you through what your street actually allows.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Weston’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998 and put his name on the truck, his address on the contract, and his license number where anyone can look it up. That matters in Weston because we’ve sat in enough ARC meetings across Sector 7, The Ridges, and the village offices to know what gets approved and what gets bounced. Homeowners tell us the same story: a contractor promised a quick fence, skipped the HOA submittal, and the job stalled before a single panel arrived. We don’t do that. We build HOA pre-approval time into every Weston bid, because county permit approval alone won’t get you on the job site here.
Our Weston customers deal directly with Tom’s sons and their crew members, not a rotating cast of subcontracted strangers. Every crew member is background-checked and uniformed. Every change to your scope arrives as a written change order before work happens. And every completed fence job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Our Fence Installation Services in Weston
Vinyl Fence Installation in Weston
Vinyl is the most common fence we install in Weston, and it’s the one the HOAs here scrutinize hardest. Most Weston villages, including Sector 7 and The Ridges, maintain an approved style guide that dictates picket profile, post cap design, and color. We submit HOA drawings built to your village’s guide before the county sees your permit application. For your money, typical vinyl fence installation in Weston runs $3,500 to $9,000, depending on linear footage and wind-load rating. We spec posts and panels rated for South Florida’s 140+ mph design wind speed, not the off-the-shelf store brand.
Aluminum Fence Installation in Weston
Aluminum fences are popular around Weston’s canal-front homes and pool enclosures, where the view matters as much as the boundary. But aluminum fails at the base in a hurricane if you use the thin-wall posts sold at the big box stores. We install commercial-grade, impact-rated aluminum posts with deeper footings, sized for the high water table and peat pockets common along Weston’s western edge near the Everglades. Expect to pay $4,000 to $10,000 for a properly engineered aluminum fence in Weston. If a quote comes in well under that, ask what wind-load rating the posts carry. Cheap aluminum bends at the first hurricane watch.
Fence Repair in Weston
Most fence repairs we do in Weston are either storm-related or HOA-flagged. Wind from the Everglades side pushes hard on western-facing fence lines, and we regularly see post heaving in the rainy season when fencing wasn’t originally set below the muck layer into stable soil. We repair gates that sag from the heat, replace rotted wood pickets, straighten leaning chain-link lines, and update fence sections to current code after damage. A repair visit starts with a phone call to (877) 610-1318, and our No Trip Charge Inside the County applies to all of Weston.
Wood Fence Installation in Weston
Wood fences are less common in Weston than vinyl or aluminum, but a few of the older neighborhoods on the city’s east side still use them for privacy and shade. If you choose wood, expect us to use pressure-treated posts with concrete footings set below the peat layer, and we’ll recommend a wood species that holds up to Weston’s wet season and unrelenting sun. A permitted wood privacy fence in Weston typically falls in the $3,500 to $9,000 range for a standard yard, though teak or hardwood upgrades push higher.

Trusted Brands We Service in Weston
We don’t install mystery materials off a van. Our vinyl and aluminum fence lines come from brands whose wind-load certifications you can look up, and if you’re pairing your fence with other exterior work, we spec the same way across the trade: GAF on roofing, Andersen and Marvin on windows. We keep commonly needed fence parts and replacement pickets stocked for Weston customers, which means a repair after a storm doesn’t wait on a shipment from out of state. If it’s a brand we carry, you’ll see the wind-load certificate before you sign.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Weston Homes
- Skipped HOA pre-approval. The county will not issue a fence permit in Weston without ARC sign-off first. We have watched jobs stall for months because a contractor applied for the county permit before the HOA submittal. You get stuck before the first post hole is dug.
- Non-impact-rated aluminum posts. In a 140+ mph wind zone, thin-wall aluminum posts bend at the base during the first serious storm. If your quote doesn’t specify wind-load rating on the posts, it’s missing the part that keeps the fence standing.
- Post heaving from Weston’s high water table. The city sits at the western edge of Broward County, directly against the Everglades, with a high water table and pockets of peat and muck. Fence posts set too shallow or without proper drainage heave after the rainy season, leaving gates misaligned and panels pulling apart.
- Color and profile rejections from the village ARC. Weston’s villages enforce their style guides strictly. We’ve had a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence in The Ridges rejected because the picket profile didn’t match the approved spec, even though the wind-load rating was solid. A compliant quote includes ARC submission drawings, not just a county permit application.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Weston
Yes. Weston requires dual approval: your village’s HOA Architectural Review Committee must sign off on your fence design before Broward County will issue a permit. A county permit alone won’t get you on the job site, and many Weston HOAs reject designs over picket profile, color, or height. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll prepare the HOA submission drawings for you.
Your Weston fence must be engineered for South Florida’s 140+ mph design wind speed under the Florida Building Code, which means the posts, panels, and connections all need to carry a wind-load rating that matches your location’s exposure category. We spec posts and hardware with the wind-load certificates on file, and we’ll show them to you before we order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a fence that’s rated properly from the first submittal.
A properly permitted and code-compliant fence, especially one with documented wind-load ratings and an inspection sign-off, gives your insurer proof that the structure meets Florida’s wind standards. That documentation matters if you ever file a claim after a storm. Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job is not a courtesy here; it’s what keeps your insurance company from denying a claim over unpermitted work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote that includes full permitting.
Weston’s high water table and peat pockets cause fence posts to heave when they aren’t set deep enough into stable soil below the muck layer, and the June-to-October rainy season makes it worse every year. If the original installer set posts in the peat layer, the fence line will lean and the gates will stop latching. We dig below the muck, set deeper footings, and re-set leaning lines so they hold through the wet season and the next hurricane watch. Call (877) 610-1318 for a fence repair visit.
No. In Weston, any change to a fence, including adding a pedestrian gate, triggers the same dual approval: HOA ARC sign-off and a Broward County permit. We’ll handle the submittals and the inspection, so your gate is legal and your fence line stays compliant. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll price the gate with the permits included.
