Choosing the Best Fence for Your Property

Do you want a new fence for your property but aren't sure where to begin? At Best Fence Company of Jacksonville, we can make it easy for you by bringing product samples to your home for you to evaluate first hand, before making any major decisions, along with providing a free estimate. We'll coordinate your fence installation with your builder, pool company and other contractors for your convenience. Your decorative pool fence is guaranteed to pass inspection and meet all code requirements.

The first step is always to determine WHY you want a fence. Is it just to improve your yard's appearance or are you looking for added security or privacy? Continue reading below for some tips and other things to consider when weighing your options.

Helpful Tips:

· Before deciding on any fence, you will need to be aware of your HOA policies. Your neighborhood may not allow fences or at least certain types of fencing. Some HOA policies will specify exactly which materials, heights and other restrictions you will be expected to abide by.

· Be considerate of your neighbors. They will usually appreciate a fence that blends in with their existing fence or does not restrict any pleasant views.

· Do you have any small children or pets? If so, you may want to choose a fence design with a secure enough railing system to make it more difficult for anyone to get out or in and one that also includes a locking gate.

· Know your budget. What are you realistically looking to accomplish for your money?

· Consider environmental challenges. Do you live near the water or in a hot and humid climate? If so, you will want to choose a material other than wood, like vinyl or aluminum, which will not require regular maintenance.

· DIY is NOT always best. Save yourself the headache and potential regrets by hiring a professional team for the installation.

· Pool fences must meet certain national B.O.C.A. building code requirements. You can read more about that here.

· Ask for a referral. If you love your friend's fence, why not ask them who built and installed it? Or have you driven through beautiful modern neighborhoods like Nocatee, Durbin Crossing, or Del Webb and admired any of their fence styles? Those neighborhoods and many others in the Northeast Florida area have all utilized Best Fence Company of Jacksonville.

This advice will certainly get you started on the right path towards completely your fencing project.

Things to Do This Summer in Jacksonville and Your Own Backyard

Summer is a time for exploration, relaxation and re-connection. You can try that new restaurant in town, tan at the beach, or take a family vacation. There are numerous things you can do, and many of them are right here in Jacksonville and your own backyard. There are places to visit and things to try for every person’s interests. All you have to do is go out and discover them and we have a few suggestions where you can begin.

Jacksonville is known for its range of activities and places for every variety of entertainment needs. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can check out Adventure Landing on Atlantic Blvd. for some family fun with laser tag, a water park and much more. Thrill seekers should check out Autobahn Indoor Speedway, near the Southpoint area, for some adrenaline-pumping fun or grab a group of friends and solve puzzles to escape from The Great Escape rooms at the Town Center.

Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary in north Jax is the perfect place for animal lovers, although I wouldn’t suggest petting these big cats. Sometimes it’s just good to get outdoors for a little fresh air which you can find on Little Talbot Island State Park. The park offers camping, swimming, canoe/kayak launch, running and hiking trails, horse trails, tours and a plethora of other activities for all ages.

Now for those who prefer the comforts of home your actual home’s backyard is the perfect place to be. During the hot summer months, especially if you don’t have the advantage of a pool in your backyard, make your own slip and slide or run around in the sprinklers to cool off. Toss a ball around with your pet in the backyard or have fun with the whole family by creating your own family-style Olympic Games with items from around your home. You can even pitch a tent and spend the night right in your own backyard.

Spending time in your own backyard is a great way to spend your summer but without a fence you may be plagued with worry about your pet, or child, running into the street to catch a ball or having a lack of privacy for your family. At Best Fence Company of Jacksonville we can add beauty to your home and help ease your mind with our affordable and 100% satisfaction guaranteed fences. We offer Ornamental Aluminum and Ornamental Vinyl Fences as well as Puppy Picket Fences to help keep your pet in and unwanted critters out. Our Aluminum Fences are protected against the elements and won’t rust or oxidize. They’re baked twice for extra protection from salt and UV rays that can cause discoloration. If you’re building a new home we can even include the cost of your fence in your new construction mortgage. Best Fence Company of Jacksonville offers the best quality product available and ensures quality service! Call (904)-268-1638 now to get your free estimate. You can visit our website at www.bestfencejax.net for more information on our products and special offers.

If you own a pet and would like to take a proactive approach to their safety with the added benefit of increasing the beauty and value of your home, consider one of our Ornamental Aluminum Puppy Picket fences.

With summer just around the corner, the warm weather will be inviting many of us and our pets outdoors for some exercise and vitamin D.

Our 4-Rail Puppy Picket Fences are designed to keep your puppy inside your yard with their four horizontal rails and additional vertical rails near the bottom.

Keeping your pet within the perimeter of your home is one task, but fences have two sides. Keeping unwanted animals out is just as important as keeping your precious ones in. Our 4-Rail Puppy Picket Fences’ additional vertical railing help prevent your pet from getting through the bars, while keeping other animals out. Invasive critters can wreck your yard, garden, home and sometimes even your pets. A Puppy Picket Fence from Best Fence Company of Jacksonville can be a barrier for your canine and unwanted intruders. A fenced in backyard will allow your dog the freedom to roam their territory. As we all know, your dog staying inside and other critters staying out may vary. You've probably known a dog or two in your neighborhood or even a deer that can jump a fence!

Our Ornamental Aluminum fences are maintenance free and are constructed to withstand Florida’s hot humid, salt abundant climate and our Puppy Picket fences are no different. Our polyester powder coating is baked on twice for extra durability. Your Puppy Picket Fence will stand up to even the most adventurous of pups and will continue to look beautiful for years to come.

Get Your Dream Home with Best Fence Company of Jacksonville

Building a fence around your property can be a great way to beautify your home, keep unwanted trespassers out, and provide some privacy for you and your family. It’s also good for blocking out noise in case you live near a railroad or noisy highway. Before you build it’s important to determine the ultimate cost of this project. You have to take into account how large your enclosed area will be, the materials you want to use and other considerations.

If you already have a home you can buy a fence using your credit card or take out a loan. There are also a few more finance options you can consider using to pay for your home improvement project. For those building their home from the ground-up, it’s generally more financially feasible to add a fence during the initial construction rather than adding it after your home is built. If you upgrade during the initial build you can possibly waive some cost.

When building a from-the-ground-up or prefabricated home, most new construction homes include builder-grade products. This means that, unless stated otherwise in the contract, your property’s features are most likely being built with basic materials and are lower quality. Fencing is often not part of your original new construction contract at all so you’ll have to pay extra for the upgrade. A customized home can be expensive enough, so new-home owners may find the extra cost daunting. There can be two easy ways to help waive cost: having a construction-to-permanent loan and choosing Best Fence Company to install your fence. Here’s why:

What is A Construction-to-Permanent Loan?

A construction-to permanent loan, also called a Rollover loan, allows buyers to have just one loan. It provides the money you need to build the home (construction loan) and when construction is finished it converts that loan into your “permanent loan” or home mortgage.

Why You Should Chose Best Fence Company of Jacksonville

With Best Fence Company of Jacksonville, you can include the cost of your fence into your new construction mortgage. So instead of paying up front when construction is done, you just make it part of your specified mortgage rate. Our fences are affordable, protected against rust and oxidation and come with a lifetime warranty.

Something to consider is that all banks and home builders are different. Read your builder’s contract carefully before signing and ask your builder about what they provide up front. Also talk to your banker to find the best loan option for you and your fencing project. We are one of North Florida’s leading fabricators of Decorative Aluminum Fence and Ornamental Vinyl Fence. We promise quality service to all of our clients and install the highest quality products at a competitive price. If you’re ready to get your dream home and start building your fence right away, call us today at 904-268-1638 for your FREE estimate or visit our website at www.bestfencejax.net for more information about our special offers.

Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 15th - 21st

Most Floridians are aware that all it takes is one storm to change your life and community. While we may not experience the earthquakes that rock the West Coast or tornadoes that blow through the Midwest, if you have lived in Florida your whole life or at least part of it, you know hurricanes are nothing to sneeze at. Unlike these other storms, fortunately, hurricanes can be tracked fairly early and easily making it much easier to take safe evacuation measures. Most Floridians know the drill when it comes to preparing their heart and home for Atlantic Hurricane Season, which starts on June 1st. If, however, you are a new Florida resident or don’t know the best course of action in preparing for a hurricane, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) encourages you to take part in Hurricane Preparedness Week, May 15-21, 2016.

Hurricanes or tropical cyclones are among nature’s most powerful and destructive phenomena. Living in Florida, prone to tropical cyclones, you need to be prepared. Even areas that sit well away from the coastline can be threatened by flooding and powerful winds. Hurricane Preparedness Week is your time to best prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane that makes landfall. You can learn how with these tips. Share them tips with your friends and family to ensure that they are also prepared.

Step 1: Evaluate Your Risk & Insurance

Do you live on or near the water? Do you have proper flood or property insurance? How about boat insurance? These are all things to consider when preparing for Hurricane Season. It's better to have all of your ducks in a row beforehand than to be surprised later on, when you find yourself the victim of storm damage. Know your coverage and keep your documents in a water-tight bag.

Step 2: Know You Evacuation Routes

It's a good idea to map out an evacuation route during this preparatory time. Know your roads and highways, then formulate an alternate plan, should those roads become closed or inaccessible. You should also make a note of any nearby shelters.

Step 3: Assemble Disaster Supplies

You are going to need supplies, if not for the storm, for the potentially long and unpleasant aftermath. It’s important to have enough non-perishable food, water and medicine to last each person in your family a minimum of one week. You’ll need extra cash, a battery-powered radio and flashlights. Most of us have cell phones, so you’ll also need a portable, crank or solar-powered USB charger.

Step 4: Strengthen Your Home

If you intend to wait out the storm in your home, make sure it is in good shape and up to par with your local hurricane building code specifications. Have the proper plywood, steel or aluminum panels to board up the windows and doors. If you have a garage door, it is the most vulnerable part of the home. Properly board up and secure the garage door so it can withstand the winds.

If you were thinking of installing a fence, your best bet is an aluminum or vinyl fence from Best Fence Company of Jacksonville. Traditional wooden fences are highly susceptible to wind damage, falling down, losing panels or even becoming dangerous projectiles. Most aluminum and vinyl fencing is much more durable than wooden fencing, having passed high speed wind testing and a 3000 hour saltwater spray test.

Further Information

More information on hurricanes and hurricane preparedness can be found at www.NOAA.gov or by contacting your local weather service or county officials.
