Why Vinyl Fencing Adds Home Value
Materials
Vinyl outcompetes other fence materials in its durability, strength, and flexibility. Vinyl fencing can prove up to five times as strong as its wooden counterparts. It doesn’t absorb moisture so that it can survive years of storms, sprinklers, and freeze-thaw. Wood fencing consistently breaks down under these weathering pressures that vinyl fencing easily endures. You won’t see rotting, stains, mold, and other eyesores that appear relatively quickly into the lifespan of other fences. Pests like termites, ants, and beetles that plague wooden fences and homes have no interest in vinyl fencing. It won’t rust like iron fencing or peel like the paint on other fence varieties.
Despite its strength, vinyl proves remarkably flexible. Its flexibility becomes especially important in climates where severe storms, wind, and winters can take a toll on anything left outside. When weather happens, vinyl fencing has the give to bounce back and remain in its place. This resilience means vinyl fence owners spend much less money on weather-related repairs that can cost up to thousands of dollars. Given its flexibility, it’s often used in floors, siding, and upholstery.
Beautification
The beauty of a home is not only of value to its current residents but also to its prospective buyers as well. Real estate agents use the term “curb appeal” to denote a property’s initial attractiveness to interested buyers. Fences are often one of the first features that buyers notice, making it especially important that their aesthetic qualities enhance the overall beauty of the house.
Vinyl fences often offer the best curb appeal given their clean, polished, enduring look. The show little wear and tear and frequently appear like-new years after their installation. This means that even for those looking to maintain their residence in the foreseeable future, vinyl fencing can prove a worthy investment years down the line.
