After all, fences are used for security, to keep your pets in the yard, and to provide peace of mind for when your kids are in the yard. Not only that, but the aesthetic appearance is important in all cases. The way a fence looks is one crucial aspect, and it all depends on the type of material you choose.
Black Aluminum Fence
Black aluminum fencing is a fantastic option for those looking for a great finished product, lifetime warranty, and polished modern appearance. The aluminum fence options come with a powdercoated finish and provide a secure environment, while also giving your yard that high-end look.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link fencing is a great economical option when shopping for your next fence project. It is economical and extremely durable. We have seen fences up to 40 years old still standing up straight! Some prefer it, as it gets the job done. Others may not prefer it due to the “commercial” type appearance it lends itself to. In those cases, a black vinyl chain link may be for them. Black vinyl-wrapped chain link provides a nicer, more muted appearance along the same lines as black aluminum, without the cost premium.
Cedar Fence
Cedar fencing is fantastic for durability and a more natural appearance. Many people choose cedar for their fence project due to its ability to stand up to harsh weather. In the Chicagoland area, expect to get a solid 15-20 years max out of a cedar fence. Cedar fence can be maintained with the use of our staining services or pressure washing, which we provide. We recommend to pressure wash your cedar fence every 2-3 years to keep it looking its best year round.
Pressure Treated Fence
If you like the natural look of cedar, but just have a limited budget, pressure treated pine fencing may be best for you. It offers durability and retains its color over a longer period of time. The downside of pressure treated pine is the tendency to warp with the presence of moisture.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fencing can be a great choice if you like the care-free option. It has very little maintenance required, however we do recommend a good power washing every few years due to the tendency to show mold/mildew in high-moisture areas. Also, the vinyl fence materials tend to not be very forgiving when it comes to rocks or landscaping companies doing their yardwork, often times chipping the fence material, or causing small holes. Vinyl fences come in a variety of options from picket fence, privacy fence, to semi-private fence.
Composite Fence
Composite is not a very common choice, simply due to its price. But with its price, comes fantastic longevity and overall properties. It has the ability to appear as wood, but significantly outlasts any known wood to exist. There are a variety of colors and textures available. Composite fencing looks great for the life of your home, so it’s a purchase that you never have to make again.
