Before you have a fence installed in Central Florida, write down why you need and want the fence. Will be for privacy, keeping the kids and pets in the yard, block out unwanted noise, protect your pool, add a decorative element to your property or may be you have a combination of reasons. The first step is to understand what you are looking for and choose what time of fence will fill your needs.
“The first issue consumers need to consider is the reason they want to install a fence,” said Santo Pernicano, president of the American Fence Association (AFA).
“Figuring out the reason for the fence leads to the next question: How much are you willing to spend on it? Costs to put up a fence can vary, depending on how much area needs to be enclosed and the materials to be used, among other things.”
The traditional white wood picket fence is a classic choice. But take all the necessary maintenance into consideration. It will need to be painted and sealed at least once a year. Vinyl is another option, but they have a tendency to fall victim to warping and rotting in our tropical environment. If it is security you are looking for, a white picket fence may not be the right choice.
A Fence Can Also Make Your Backyard Feel Like An Extension Of Your Home.
How Much Value Does Fencing Add To Your Home
According to Realty Times, “On average, privacy fences are 4-9 feet tall. Installing a fence in your backyard for privacy purposes will increase marketability for your home with prospective buyers when selling. Homeowners with pets, such as dogs, may require a fence and could be reluctant to purchase a home without one due to the high cost of fencing materials and installation.”
It’s not just any fence that will add value to your property. A less costly chain link fence will give you a less than costly profit. While a quality precast concrete fence can add significant returns on your investment.
