Wooden fences have been a popular fencing choice for
centuries, but did you know they're actually one of the most unreliable styles
of fencing? Fortunately for home owners
there are other products to choose from like Vinyl or Aluminum. Continue
reading to find out how wooden fences are failing their customers and why Vinyl
or Aluminum may be a better choice for you.
Deterioration
Wood is a natural product and like all things in
nature, it will eventually decay. The deterioration process is accelerated when
you factor in other natural elements like heavy rain fall and high winds, which
Florida can be synonymous with. Termites can also be a frequent problem.
Vinyl fences will not chip, warp, split or peel like
wooden fences are known to do as a result of weather conditions. They are built
solid and sturdy. At Best Fence Company of Jacksonville, we even subject our
fences to a 3,000 hour salt spray test, so any fence we install for our clients
has the proven ability to withstand the elements.
Repair Costs
As mentioned above, wooden fences are just not
reliable. They can require frequent and
sometimes expensive repairs and maintenance, which adds up. A common
misconception property owners have is that a wooden fence is often the cheapest
way to go. When you factor in the cost
of regular maintenance and replacing panels, wooden fences can turn out to be
one of the more expensive options.
An Aluminum fence from Best Fence Company of
Jacksonville is maintenance free and will not require replacing, unless there
are some very special circumstances.
You can sit back and enjoy your Aluminum fence for years without worrying about
paying for the upkeep.
Low Aesthetic
Value = Low Property Value
Let's face it - Wooden fences are boring. They lack
the versatility of a custom manufactured
and fabricated product. Everyone's wooden fence inevitably ends up
looking the same with the only difference being which stage of deterioration
each one is in. Because of that deterioration, they are unappealing to the eye,
often making houses appear older and disheveled. In turn, this kills your
property values.
With a custom fabricated Vinyl or Aluminum fence from
Best Fence Company of Jacksonville, you will not only have a greater variety of
fence design choices to complement your home, but also enjoy the benefit of a
fence that has been customized in color and fit for your property.
Vinyl and Aluminum fencing is also a modern and
popular choice, as you can clearly see around Jacksonville area neighborhoods
like Nocatee, Durbin Creek, Sawgrass, Oakleaf Plantation and many more. Vinyl
and Aluminum fencing are the current fence styles that are obviously the most
attractive to current buyers and will be more aesthetically pleasing to your
neighbors. Best Fence Company will even work with HOA's and Florida building
codes to make sure that your fence will be the perfect fit with zero issues.
