Vinyl Fences: They Make Perfect Sense

Traditionally wood has always been the material of choice when a homeowner wants to build or install a fence around their home. While metal fences have also enjoyed a high level of popularity among homeowners who want or need a fence, the material has never been as popular as wood do to some limitations and the heavy weight associated with it. Wood fences, and to a lesser extent metal fences offer homeowners a myriad of choices when it comes to design, color, and durability.

In more recent times fences made of vinyl have become so popular that they rival fences made of wood and metal. This is because vinyl fences are not subject to many of the downfalls and maintenance requirements that wood and metal fences are. In years past vinyl fences all looked cheap and didn't offer much in the way of variety and design though that has changed dramatically as of late.Compared to today's models the vinyl fences of yesteryear look pretty shabby and subpar. So good is the technology surrounding vinyl fences now that these types of fences have become virtually indistinguishable from fences made of wood. Moreover vinyl fences are impervious to moisture and heat and will therefore never peel, crack, warp, or begin to rot as a result of exposure to these things.

While temperature swings, even infrequent ones, can cause wood fences to expand and contract, vinyl fences are immune to these types of extreme weather changes. The vinyl fence that a homeowner purchases, providing they care for it properly, will look the same years after its purchase as it did the day it was purchased and installed. Moreover the maintenance just mentioned is very light and homeowners need only to hose off their vinyl fence whenever it begins to look dirty or has debris caught in it.

What it essentially boils down to for a homeowner who needs a fence is cost and maintenance. Does a homeowner want a fence that requires constant work and maintenance in order to not only keep it clean but save it from damage or does a homeowner want a fence that looks like wood that they can admire without having to clean it regularly or replace due to decay? With vinyl fences looking just like wood fences the choice should be a simple one for most homeowners especially given the fact that vinyl fences are also more affordable than fences made of wood.

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!

Buying A Vinyl Fence: Tips 3 & 4

In keeping with the tradition of helping our clients and prospective clients purchase a vinyl fence that best suits their needs we'd like to offer a few more tips that will help ensure that they get the fence they want.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when you're looking to purchase a vinyl fence is to not buy parts or fences that will be obsolete within the next year or two. This is important because should any part of a vinyl fence fail or have problems you'll want to be sure that replacement parts are available in the future. When parts aren't available a home owner must often purchase an entire new fence to fix their problem. Purchasing a vinyl fence that a manufacturer will back for years to come is the smart way to go.

Once an individual knows which type of fence they want and have found one that they're ready to purchase, the next thing to do is to check the backgrounds of the vendors they are interested in. The results will tell the consumer whether or not a company and its products are reputable and worth their time and money. Reading reviews from past clients online and even talking to a representative of the company will yield plenty of information.

As with purchasing anything, gathering as much information as you can prior to a purchase can help you make good educated decisions and ensure that you purchase a product that you really want as well as one that will last for years.

Orange County Fences: Fence Designs

The first decision you must make when you decide you want to fence your property, is what do you want the fence to do? Is it for security? Is it for privacy? Is it for beauty? Is it to keep the kids and a dog in an enclosed area?

The second decision is where do you live? Are there restrictions as to where the fence can be installed or what kind of fence? For instance your city or county where you live may require the fence to be six feet or under, and it should be installed how many feet from the road, street, or sidewalk? Who will install it? You need to answer those questions before you invest in a fence.


The cheapest fence you can buy is a chain link fence. The most common sizes come in 4’ 5’ and 6’ heights. There are several advantages to chain link. If you live in an area where the wind blows, the chain link will last much longer than a wood fence. It never needs painting, and it doesn’t block your view of the neighbors.

If it’s privacy you want and are willing to spend the time and money in painting it every year or two, a wood fence will work for most people. Weather is the biggest problem with wood fences. They rot, they fade, they blow down, but when you replace the rot, paint the fade, and put it back up when they blow down, a wood fence is a good investment.

There are new products that replace the wood fences and some you can hardly  tell the difference. Vinyl fencing is the new product and you will see them all over town. They come mainly in white, never need painting, you can wash them off when they get dirty, paint doesn’t adhere to them. They are more expensive, but there are cheap versions out there and remember you get just what you pay for.
Other fences are around that you may like. Picket fences that come in wood or vinyl are pretty, and add finishing touches to your property, but they don’t add any security. The wood needs the same care as the wood fence. Wrought iron fences are beautiful, provide security but not much privacy, but you could always plant shrubs around them if that is your choice.
One choice and it isn’t considered a fence, it’s a block wall. You have security, privacy and higher taxes, because they add value to your home and property.
