Vinyl Fence Repair

You probably bought your vinyl fence because you thought it would never need repairing, and now there is a small hole in the fence. You can fix it without a great of time or expense.

If the hole is less than1½” you can fix the hole with plastic body filler. Fill it and allow it to dry for at least one hour. Then you will need to sand it with medium grit sand paper followed by fine grit so the plastic filler will be flush to the fence surface. After the filler is dry and sanded, wipe the dust away.

If the hole is larger than 1½” wipe the area with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime that may be around the edge of the hole.

You will need to fill the hole with expanding insulation foam. Simply spray the foam into the hole slowly to allow it to expand and fill the entire hole on the inside of your fence. The foam should be oozing out of the hole. Let the foam dry for about 24 hours.

After the foam is dry saw off the excess foam that is outside the hole. Sand away any excess with medium grit sandpaper, you’ll need to leave a slight dip in the foam because it shouldn’t be flush.
You’ll need to fill the dip with plastic body filler that will have to be flush with the fence. Allow it to dry for at least one hour. Sand the body filler with medium grit sandpaper, then use fine grit to make the plastic filler flush to your fence surface.

The entire process should be simple from start to finish, and you need to be sure to let both types of filler dry completely before sanding and finishing the job.

If it is still more than you want to deal with go online and search for a contractor that also does vinyl fence repair. It may even be the business that installed the fence in the first place.

Your vinyl fence is still the best in the industry, and they are popping up all over, in almost every neighborhood. Some may still prefer a wood fence, but the vinyl fence lasts much longer. It may cost a bit more, but when you figure in the work needed to keep a wood fence painted and repaired, your vinyl fence passes scrutiny every time.

Cheap Vinyl: Buyer Beware!

As with all things you get what you pay for. More often than not low-quality imported products are purchased by consumers who are either ignorant about the quality of the product or by those who aren't overly concerned with quality and want a cheap affordable solution.

The same is true for vinyl materials. Not all vinyl materials are created equal and some are downright atrocious. Many cheap vinyl products for the home lack UV inhibitors as well as other ingredients that are designed to withstand the damaging effects of not only the sun but moisture and wind as well. Without these ingredients in them, vinyl products often fail those who purchase them.

If you're the type of homeowner who's considering installing a vinyl gate, vinyl fence, or even vinyl siding on or around their home, buyer beware! There are a great many different types of vinyl products available and just as many different types of quality. Be sure when shopping for vinyl products to ask lots of questions and/or consult with a professional who works with or manufactures vinyl products to get the lowdown on the product you're interested in.

Should you have any questions about the quality of vinyl you've been looking at please be sure to contact us as we'd be more than happy to assist you.

Vinyl Decks: Less Hassle, Less Costly

Sitting outside on your deck with guests, friends, and family can be relaxing, rewarding, and refreshing. The majority of people think of decks as a gathering place in their backyard and as such don't usually give much thought to their upkeep or the long-term costs associated with it.

Those homeowners with decks made of wood will tell you that after the first year passes, their decks tend to lose their luster and some even begin to crack, warp, and see the paint peel from the wood. Once the spring and summer roll around however it can be extremely inconvenient to install a new deck or to have an existing one repaired. This inconvenience comes from both the homeowners desire to continue enjoying your deck without interruption and the high costs associated with deck repair.

This is why it's a good idea to at the very least consider a deck made of vinyl when the need for deck repair, upgrade, or new installation arise. Vinyl does not suffer from the same problems or the same type of decay that wood does which means homeowners won't have to worry about spending large sums of money to have it repaired after years of use nor will they miss a spring or summer due to repairs and upgrades.

Should you have any questions about vinyl decks this be sure to contact us so that we may assist you.

Low Quality Vinyl Fences: Buyer Beware

So you've been sold on the idea of purchasing a vinyl fence as opposed to a new wooden or metal fence. A vinyl fence can indeed be enticing for reasons related to both budget and design but homeowners must be wary of the many subpar vinyl fences on the market.

While nearly every company that manufactures and sells vinyl fences sells their products as being aesthetically comparable to wood, there are many brands and types of vinyl fences that are not up to snuff in terms of their design and construction. This is especially true of vinyl fences that are marketed as having the ability to be indistinguishable from a wood fence.

Vinyl fences constructed of lower quality plastics may, from great distances, look like wood but anyone who gets within a few yards of one will quickly recognize that the fence isn't made of wood but rather low-grade plastic. These types of fences don't even come close to looking like a middle-of-the-road vinyl fences either and instead look like nothing more than cheap plastic.

If you are currently searching for a vinyl fence for your home and are unsure of the different grades of quality please be sure to contact us that we may be of assistance.

Vinyl Fencing: The Non Toxic Solution

When individuals consider installing fencing in and around their home there is a lot to consider. Everything from cost, durability, and aesthetics crosses the minds of every person prior to the purchase of a fence. What many people don't think about however is safety which is equally important, if not more so, than all the aforementioned reasons.

While wood and metal fencing might look fantastic not only are they not as durable as vinyl fencing but they can be toxic to both children and animals as well. This is because wood and metal fences are often treated with hazardous chemicals in order to help preserve them and help them withstand things like heat, water, and wind. Who hasn't heard of children or pets who play near and sometimes ingest parts of a fence?

Vinyl fences on the other hand don't require any additional preservatives or chemicals as they are naturally resistant to weather and other natural elements. Should you have any questions about vinyl fences please be sure to contact us so that we may assist you.

Vinyl Fence Installation

Homeowners excited about the purchase of a new vinyl fence for their home usually have a number of questions even after purchase and even after speaking with someone who specializes in vinyl fencing.

Among the most frequent questions, "how long will it take to install my vinyl fence?", is the one question professionals here most often. In truth the installation of a vinyl fence is similar to the installation of a wood fence. The biggest advantage the installation of a vinyl fence has over one made of wood is time. If you've opted for professional installation you'll notice that the installation will be completed in a much more timely fashion than those dealing with wood fences. This is because vinyl weighs a lot less than wood does which therefore makes installation much easier. Installation is so much easier in fact that many people opt to install their new vinyl fence themselves.

Cleaning Your Vinyl Fence

We're often quick to point out just how easy it is to care for vinyl fences and how little maintenance they actually require. While we have rarely touched on however is how to actually care for a vinyl fence once it's been installed in your yard.

While vinyl fences are very resistant to moisture and heat, they like everything else, tend to collect dirt, mud, insects, and debris over time. Therefore owners of vinyl fences will occasionally need to venture outside and engage in some light cleaning.

Owners of a vinyl fence will need the following things to clean their vinyl fence:

• Water hose
• Either a bucket of soapy water or a spray bottle full of cleaning solution
• Several soft rags
• A scrub brush with soft bristles

Utilizing all these things an individual can clean a vinyl fence with relative ease and without spending too much time on the project. Tougher stains such as those left by mud may require a little elbow grease but even those shouldn't be too tough to remove.

Should you have any questions regarding the care of your vinyl fence please do not hesitate to contact us that we may be of assistance.

Tis The Season: To Start Planning For Summer

Although winter is nearly upon us and will hang around for a good 4 to 5 months, it's never too early to start making plans for summer. This is specially true for individuals who utilize their home during the summertime and even more so for those who begin entertaining guests in the spring.

Making plans well in advance of the actual season is especially helpful for those homeowners who plan on doing remodeling or setting up a new area in the front or back of their home for summer usage. There are a lot of homeowners who consider having a new deck or patio installed in their backyard so as to make the area more enjoyable for themselves as well as their guests. A backyard used for things like barbecues, pool parties, and just relaxing outside should feature a nice deck, patio, gazebo, and perhaps an outdoor living space.

Of course homeowners looking to have these things set up in their yards should spend the winter pondering what materials they like to use in the construction of these things and how much they want to spend on the project. Pricing different vendors during this time a year is a good idea and you might even find lower prices on these things simply because they are "out of season".

Should you be looking to have a deck, patio, or gazebo set up in your front or back yard please be sure to contact us as we would love to be of assistance!

1. Know your specifications: Prior to purchasing any vinyl fence know what you need for your specific fence. This includes posts, rails, and even bottom railing enforcements. You'll also want to compare the thickness of every vinyl extrusion. The majority of companies sell lower grade vinyl fence post which are .120 to .135 thick which are cheaper because they use less vinyl. If you want a higher quality fence be sure to buy thicker.

Vinyl: Saftey For Your Home

It goes without saying that anybody who's worked hard enough and saved enough to purchase a home will go to great lengths to ensure that it not only suits their living needs but that the home remains safe as well. There are many different things homeowners can do to ensure that their home stays safe from things like fire and erosion though they can now select vinyl materials for their home rather than traditional wood and sometimes metal which significantly helps.

Vinyl fences, gates, railings, decks, and even gazebos are all highly resistant to both heat and fire. Whereas things constructed of wood tend to catch fire very easily, even when treated with fire retardant chemicals, homeowners needn't worry about fire affecting their vinyl structures nor about fire on the structures catching to begin with. Once fire has begun on a wooden structure it becomes incredibly difficult to contain and that fire can jump to new locations rather easily. Fires can destroy houses very quickly along with any occupants inside but selecting vinyl for certain structures in and around the home can make any home a little bit safer.

Should you have any questions about vital structures for your home please do not hesitate to contact us as we will be happy to assist you!

Vinyl Fencing Stands Out From the Rest

How often have you driven down a street and compared fencing materials? Wood was the most popular for years and years, concrete blocks as well, but they’re very expensive, and it takes a skilled pro to install them. The chain link provided security, but little else. Then you saw those pure white vinyl fences, they offered you the privacy that you desired, but are they worth the price?


The wood fences became faded even after only one year and when the wind blew, and the wind often blows, the wood fences fell down. You saw places where they propped the fence up with stakes, and knew it was only a matter of time and they would join the rest of the wood fencing. Partially on the ground and they had neither privacy nor security.


Vinyl fences were the ones you want. Love the look, love the privacy. So you started researching the vinyl fencing. Yes, it was more expensive, and there was more than one grade of materials. You even went on line to check them out, and visited the local hardware stores who advertised them regularly.


The advantages to vinyl fencing: They never need painting; they are stronger and last longer than wood; the graffiti specialists don’t like vinyl fencing because the paint does not adhere to it; some even come with a lifetime guarantee, but probably not the ones at the hardware store; they are maintenance free, but they advise you to wash them at least once a year with soap and water. That would be easy enough.


You’ve also found that if you buy the cheaper stuff, you get what you paid for, so what else is new? The cheaper stuff is still pretty, but it cracks and chips and is brittle due to the seasons of hot and cold temperatures. It also stands to reason that if you want quality you will have to pay more for it, but it will be worth it in the long run.


The better vinyl is thicker and will resist the weather. You’ve also decided to find a professional who is knowledgeable about fencing especially vinyl fencing. Once the better grade vinyl fence is installed you know it is there to stay without all the painting and repair that other fences require. In the long run it will actually be cheaper without all those high cost repairs. Do it right the first time, and you will be able to forget it until one of your neighbor’s compliments you on your new fence. Then you’ll know you did the right thing.

Vinyl Security For Your Home

While many individuals place fences around their home in order to deter onlookers in people with more unscrupulous ideas from entering their home, no offense is indestructible or impenetrable. There are however certain types of fences that are more durable and are able to deter wrongdoers to a greater degree than others.

Vinyl fences are among the most durable types of fences currently on the market. We've talked about how avinyl fence save a couple in their home from a raging forest fire yet we have not talked much about how well they deter people from entering your yard and your home.

Provided your vinyl fence is tall enough most people, especially burglars, won't put forth the extra effort needed to penetrate or tear through a vinyl fence. Would fences can be burned in easily broken by both feet and hands when somebody wants into your yard. A vinyl fence on the other hand cannot be kicked or punched in nor can it be penetrated with tools very easily.

Vinyl Fence Saves Home From Blaze

There are numerous advantages to owning a vinyl fence, advantages that wood and metal fences don't always or are incapable of offering homeowners. Perhaps the most advantageous of reasons is vinyl's high resistance to heat and fire.

Take for example two homeowners in Florida. Lorenzo Riccio and Juliet Simmons installed their vinyl fence around their Florida home in order to save time and money on painting and maintenance though they never dreamed that their vinyl fence would keep their 3400 ft.² home from being destroyed in a raging forest fire.

The couple initially thought about purchasing a wood fence but decided to go with vinyl after reviewing the maintenance costs of a wood fence. Had they chosen a wood fence is very likely that they would've lost their home and potentially much more to his dangerous blaze.

If you have questions about the fire retardant properties of a vinyl fence please be sure to contact us and we'll be happy to answer any may have.

The Privacy Fence

There are number of reasons to put up a fence around a home. Perhaps the most important reason is privacy. Whether you rent, loan, or lease, you deserve all the privacy you desire in your own home. Having a fence surrounding the perimeter of the property or even just the front yard is a good way to up the level of privacy an individual has in their home. This also works well in the backyard and keeps neighbors from peering in while you're both in the home and enjoying some time outside in the backyard.

Residences without a fence offer far less privacy than those without one and as anyone who lives in such a home can tell you there are constantly people peering inside if for no other reason than curiosity. While curious individuals may be annoying, those with more devious intent might be looking into your home in order to plan a burglary or some other unscrupulous activity.

With many different types of material available for fences the majority of fences are terribly expensive and so there is little excuse to not have one set up. Fences offer peace of mind as well as privacy and safety. Contact us today to have a fence set up around your home.
