Vinyl Fence
A key benefit of having a vinyl fence is the low maintenance requirements. Vinyl does cost more than wood at the outset, but it lasts longer and requires the least amount of regular maintenance. With a wood fence you would need to paint and stain your fence occasionally but you wouldn’t need to with vinyl. Vinyl fences are made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which is easier to clean and can lead to a higher investment value over time. It is not subject to rotting, peeling, or decaying that will happen to wood over time. Vinyl fences are durable and made with UV additives to help it hold up in the Florida sun as well. A long lifespan is also one of the greatest benefits of having vinyl fencing for your home or property as it will last decades longer than a wood fence. With its clean and attractive appearance, vinyl fencing adds a touch of elegance to any property. Contact us today to make your fencing vision come to life!
Wood Fence
Wood fences are a loved classic! Nothing is as traditional as a wood fence that offers natural quality, privacy, and strength with the rustic charm they bring to any home. The downside is that wood fences require regular staining or sealing to help protect them from the elements. The stain or paint may peel, requiring scraping and refinishing as needed every couple of years. Additionally wood eventually rots, warps, bow, or twists, particularly in humid or wet areas that we have in Florida requiring you to have boards replaced to help the fence maintain its integrity. They are subject to rusting nails pulling free, termites, sagging, or losing shape over time. So you may be wondering; how long does a wood fence last? They can last for decades too as long as they are installed and maintained properly. Their lifespan depends greatly on such factors like sun exposure, moisture, insects, preventative and on-going maintenance. Contact us today to make your fencing vision come to life!

Aluminum fencing is also made of a powder coated color finish such as black or white with an appearance that is clean and stylish.

Chain Link Fence
Chain link fences are a time tested type of affordable fencing solution with its low cost start up. It’s effective and secure and they can help you keep people or pets in or out of your home, business, or property. However, they are not the most attractive fence. While chain link fences may eventually develop rust, they are designed to resist corrosion. Getting a chain link with a protective layer of vinyl coating will last longer, improve durability, and slows corrosion even better than galvanized metal on its own. While vinyl coating is sturdy, in some situations it may start to break off and tear, which can be unattractive. This is more common when the fence sees a lot of physical contact like a tennis court or baseball field. If your chain link gets damaged it’s easy to repair as the damaged area can usually be cut out and replaced with new materials. Chain link fences last around 15 years but can last longer if you’ve got a vinyl coating rather than a zinc coating. Both galvanized and vinyl coated chain link fences have their place, so it’s a matter of personal preference and what is best for your fence project.
