Vinyl / PVC Fences
Low-maintenance, durable vinyl fencing that stays beautiful for decades without painting or staining.
The Low-Maintenance Fencing Solution
Vinyl fencing has become one of the most popular choices for homeowners who want a beautiful fence without constant upkeep. Unlike wood, vinyl never needs painting, staining, or sealing. It won't rot, warp, or splinter. Your fence looks as good in 20 years as it did the day we installed it, with nothing more than an occasional rinse with a garden hose.
Modern vinyl fences are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions. They resist fading from sun exposure thanks to UV inhibitors built into the material. They handle temperature swings without cracking or becoming brittle. Rain, snow, and humidity don't affect vinyl the way they damage wood. Even salty air near the coast won't corrode or deteriorate vinyl fencing.
The upfront cost of vinyl runs higher than wood, but you save money over time by eliminating maintenance expenses. No more buying stain or paint every few years. No replacing rotted boards. No scraping and refinishing. Many homeowners find that vinyl pays for itself within five to seven years when you factor in the time and money saved on maintenance. Our professional installation services ensure your vinyl fence is built correctly for maximum durability.

- Resistant to rot, insects, rust, and weather damage
- Won't splinter, making it safe for kids and pets

Vinyl Fence Styles and Options
Vinyl fences come in every style you can imagine, from solid privacy panels to decorative picket designs. Privacy vinyl fences typically stand six feet tall with tongue-and-groove panels that lock together, creating a seamless, solid barrier. These are perfect for backyards where you want complete seclusion from neighbors and street traffic.
Semi-privacy styles feature panels with small gaps between boards, allowing some air flow while still blocking most views. This works well if you want privacy but don't want to feel completely closed in. Picket vinyl fences offer the classic white picket fence look without the maintenance hassles of wood. They're ideal for front yards and garden borders.
Ranch rail vinyl fences mimic traditional wood split rail designs but never rot or need painting. These work beautifully for larger properties where you want to define boundaries without blocking views. Some homeowners mix styles, using privacy panels in the backyard and decorative pickets in front. White remains the most popular color, but vinyl comes in tan, gray, beige, and even wood-grain textures.
The quality of vinyl varies significantly between manufacturers. We use only premium-grade vinyl with reinforced posts and panels designed for long-term durability. Cheap vinyl can yellow, crack, or become brittle after a few years. Quality vinyl maintains its appearance and strength for decades.

Installation and Simple Care
Proper installation is critical for vinyl fences. Posts must be set deep and perfectly level, as vinyl panels snap into place and won't tolerate misalignment. We install vinyl posts in concrete footings that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. This ensures your fence stays straight and stable even in high winds or shifting soil.
Vinyl panels are engineered to expand and contract slightly with temperature changes. We account for this during installation by following proper spacing guidelines. This prevents panels from buckling in summer heat or cracking in winter cold. Gates receive special attention with reinforced posts and heavy-duty hinges to handle repeated use.
Once installed, your vinyl fence requires minimal care. Spray it down with a garden hose once or twice a year to remove dirt and pollen. For stubborn stains or mildew, use mild soap and water with a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface. Keep vegetation trimmed back so plants don't stain the vinyl or hold moisture against it.
If a panel does get damaged, replacement is straightforward. Panels pop out of the posts and new ones snap in. This is much easier than repairing wood fences. We offer fence repair services if you ever need help with damage from storms or accidents.
