Consider All the Facts before Choosing your Fence
Tired of looking at your old, dilapidated fence? Considering installing a new one? For the best fences Aurora IL can build, they trust America’s Backyard. Beyond choosing the right fence company, however, there are important elements to consider before installing the best fence for you and your family:
What is its purpose?
First, your need for the fence dictates its purpose. Make sure you take into consideration why you need it and let that be a large depictor for the kind you install:
- Privacy — Don’t allow nosy passersby to have a peek into what you and your family have in the backyard. This sense of privacy can help you feel more secure that neighbors can’t see into your yard to windows. It also adds a lot of value to a home when you’d like to sell it.
- Security — Keep the children and pets inside your yard and the people you don’t want, out. Adding an extra layer of protection to your home will allow you to sleep better at night knowing that homes with fences get broken into less often than those without them.
- Sound — If you live by a busy road or have raucous neighbors, a privacy fence of wood or vinyl absorbs much of the sound and gives you a higher quality of living.
Does my community have restrictions?
If you live in a community with a Homeowner’s Association, you may have to follow specific guidelines as to what fences you can or cannot build.
Materials do not tend to be restricted. Instead, it is usually the height of a constructed fence. Be sure to check with your town before choosing a fence to see if there are any guidelines to follow.
What level of maintenance do I want?
Wooden fences are a beautifully traditional option but they do require the most maintenance. More specifically, they require staining or painting every other season. When maintained, our quality cedar fences add value and curb appeal to your home. They also are more easily repaired than metal or vinyl fencing.
Vinyl or metal fences offer high-durability with little regular maintenance. This is often the most popular choice with homeowners who don’t want to worry about their fence and just be able to enjoy their yard. Ultimately, the choice for fence material boils down to what is best for your family and your available time.
