Not all vinyl fencing is the same
The vinyl fences that fail are the light-gauge panels sold as bargain systems: they get brittle, they rattle in the wind, and the rails pop out of the posts. We install thicker-walled, routed-post systems with aluminum stiffening in the bottom rails where spans need it. The difference isn't visible on day one; it's visible in year ten.
Vinyl works especially well for homeowners who want a clean, uniform look across a long run, and for rental properties and HOAs where nobody wants to schedule maintenance.
Styles we install
- Solid privacy, the most popular backyard choice
- Privacy with lattice or spindle top
- Semi-privacy with spaced boards for airflow
- Classic picket for front yards
- Post-and-rail for larger properties
Vinyl vs. cedar: an honest comparison
Vinyl costs more up front than cedar in most configurations, then costs almost nothing after that. Cedar looks warmer and can be repaired board-by-board, but wants occasional care. If you plan to be in your home ten-plus years and never want to think about the fence, vinyl usually wins the math. We'll price both if you're on the fence about it. That's a free estimate either way.
