Replacing your home's fence is no small project. There's a lot to consider when choosing a fencing material, such as price, your local environment, how much privacy you want, appearance and much more. We'll walk through five of the most popular choices so you can make the best decision for your home. If your Dallas-Fort Worth home needs roofing, siding or fencing, Roof Experts can help with all of it. Our team is ready to bring careful workmanship to your home.
Iron Fencing
One of the most versatile options is iron fencing. Iron fences range from simple bars to ornamental metalwork. They're also available in a variety of colors, such as white, black or bronze. This type of fence is very secure and keeps your yard looking open. Iron fences can be pricey, but their style and security are worth it to many homeowners. Many "iron" fences today are actually steel or aluminum, which cost less and resist rust better.
Chain Link Fencing
Made from woven steel wire that's usually galvanized or vinyl-coated, chain link fences are known for being long-lasting and affordable. They cost much less than iron fences and install quickly, which makes them popular with many homeowners. They're a good fit if you don't want to block the view, since the open weave keeps things visible.
Vinyl Fencing
If you want a low-maintenance fence, vinyl is a great choice. It's durable and cleans up with a garden hose. Vinyl fencing has become more popular as an alternative to wood because it doesn't need staining or painting and won't rot.
Wood Fencing
Another versatile option is, of course, wood. Wooden fences are a common choice for privacy because of their solid construction and 6- to 8-foot heights. They're also popular because they can be stained or painted in almost any color you want. Roof Experts offers a variety of finishes for wooden fences, including semitransparent stains.
Custom Gates
For those who want something a little fancier, custom gates are a great option. Driveway gates can be automated with swinging or sliding operators, and some include add-ons like keypads, intercoms or cameras. Make sure experienced installers handle them, because the last thing you want is to be stuck outside your own driveway because of bad wiring.
