Is my fence guaranteed?

We offer a 2-year warranty on labor and a lifetime guarantee on aluminum and vinyl fencing.

What do I need to know before having the fence installed?

You need to assess:

The purpose of the fence (privacy, pet or pool enclosure, property, etc.).
Where the fence will be located, exactly.
What type of fence you want (materials, height, style, features and accessories).
When you plan to have the work completed. (For example, are there landscaping, remodeling, or surveying issues which need to be completed before the fence installation?)

When a fence is well-planned, properly designed, carefully crafted, and expertly installed, it blends in well with the existing landscape.

What kind of care and maintenance does vinyl require?

Over time, the price of vinyl compares favorably with wood. Through the years, the cost to maintain a wood fence adds up. Vinyl is virtually maintenance-free, so you won’t spend time and money painting, staining, or repairing a vinyl fence.

How long will my fence last?

The life of a fence depends on many factors, including, the integrity of the fabrication climate, materials used, climate and soil conditions to name a few.

Properly built and expertly installed cedar fence should provide 15 to 20 years of enjoyment.

How does the price of vinyl compare to that of wood?

Vinyl is virtually maintenance-free. There’s no need to scrape, paint, or stain a vinyl fence. Pressure washing with a mild detergent and water should keep your vinyl fence looking new. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleanser and a soft-bristled brush.

Should I paint or stain my wood fence?

We recommend applying a protective finish to the fence after installation. This helps to minimize the effects of weathering and to maximize the lifespan of your fence.

Will vinyl fencing yellow over time?

Our vinyl components use a high content of titanium dioxide and ultraviolet inhibitors, which have been proven to prevent yellowing.

I would like an old-fashioned picket fence. How can I avoid painting it every year?

Depending on the location of your fence, you might want to consider a natural finish with a waterproof seal. Another option is to purchase a vinyl picket fence instead of the traditional wood picket fence. Vinyl is very attractive yet requires very little maintenance.

What kind of fence will keep my dog confined but will not block my view?

A chain link fence with black or green vinyl fabric and a black frame is generally considered the best solution that will least obstruct your view.

Protects and beautifies property
Economical
Long-lasting
Maintenance-free
Graffiti resistant
Provides security without obstructing views

Is aluminum fence expensive?

Aluminum fence comes in 4 different grades to fit your budget and your needs. Most people are under the illusion that this fencing product is not affordable due to its beauty and “curb appeal”. It is in fact very affordable when you weigh the benefits of this product versus other fencing materials. There is no painting, staining, warping, or maintenance necessary. It instantly increases the value of your property and decreases your headaches.

Is aluminum fencing sturdy?

Yes. It is important to match the correct grade and height of the fence with each fencing application. For example the residential grade is suitable for perimeter fence situations such as containment of children and pets, or residential pool settings. We highly recommend the commercial and industrial grade be used for settings, which entail security situations.
