Here’s what you should know about replacing your residential fence and indicators that you’ll need a new fence installation.
Hercules Fence DC provides residential fence installations throughout the Washington, D.C. region. If your residential fence is currently in less-than-stellar condition, we can help you determine whether it’s time to repair your fence or replace it entirely. There’s a few telltale signs that indicate your residential fence should be replaced rather than seeking out additional repairs to it. This is particularly important when it comes to residential fences made from natural wood materials, which often can deteriorate and become unsightly over a span of 10 years. Here’s what you should know about replacing your residential fence and indicators that you’ll need a new fence installation from Hercules Fence DC.
Replacing Your Residential Fence: Lifespan of Materials
You’ll want to consider the lifespan of the materials used on your current residential fence installation. This can help you determine whether it’s time to implement repairs to your fence or opt for a replacement fence entirely. For example, fence installations made from natural wood materials will only withstand the test of time for 10 to 15 years maximum with proper maintenance and care. If your natural wood fence hasn’t been properly maintained, it may need to be replaced earlier on. While that may seem overwhelming, it provides you with the opportunity to select a new fence installation with a lifespan that’s even longer than your previous fence installation.
If Your Residential Fence is Bent, Damaged, or a Safety Hazard
It’s important to consider replacing your residential fence if it’s entirely too bent, damaged, or a potential safety hazard within your backyard. Remember, residential fences are meant to help secure your property and keep your family safe. A bent fence or a damaged fence defeats the purpose of a residential fence entirely, and can make your home vulnerable to foot traffic and provide access into your yard for wildlife and strangers.
If You’re Ready for a Change
Lastly, you can opt to replace your residential fence if you’re simply ready for a change of your landscape scenery. Whether you installed your original residential fence or it came with a home you purchased, it’s important to enjoy the aesthetics of your backyard — that includes your residential fence!
