Choosing the Best Fencing Material for Your DC Home

Fencing for your DC home

What type of fence will you choose for your DC home?

There are many different residential fences available on the market. But how do you know what is the right fencing material for you and your Washington, DC home? Well, we’ve come to help. While we can’t tell you what kind of fence you need, we can help you make that decision by breaking it down for you.

The Reasoning

If you already have fencing around your property, why are you looking to change it? If you’ve never had a fence, why are you thinking about installing a fence? There are a few reasons people install a fence around their home: for privacy, for protection and safety, an increase in property values, and visual appeal. So why do you need a fence?

The Maintenance

How much time do you want to spend working on your fence? Do you mind spending a few afternoons a year scrubbing the fence? How about a few weekends painting and sealing? When choosing fencing material, these are questions you need to think about. Wood fenceing is beautiful but requires the most maintenance between painting and staining. But the beauty of a wood picket fence can boost your home’s property value. For something with a little less upkeep, choose aluminum or vinyl fencing. Unlike wooden fence, these fences cannot be easily repaired if one or two posts are damaged. The entire section must be replaced if it is damaged. Maintenance is an important part of being a homeowner but how much time do you realistically have to maintain your fence.

The HOA

Before hiring Hercules Fence of Washington, DC to install your new residential fence, be sure to ask your Home Owner’s Association (HOA) if there is a restriction. Some HOAs have a restriction on the materials or height of the fences in their neighborhood. This restriction could mean you waste money and time if you have to take the fence down after installation.

After answering these questions, you should have one fencing material in mind for your Washington, DC home. And with Hercules Fence of Washington, DC, your home will be protected and beautiful in no time!
