BUYER'S GUIDE

If you are planning to build a fence yourself, here are a few tips that can help you to avoid some common pitfalls:

BEFORE GETTING STARTED

BENEFITS OF OWNING A FENCE

Owning a fence has many benefits. These benefits are the reasons homeowners install a fence. Although initially a homeowner may have a fence installed for only one or two of these benefits, it’s not long after that other added benefits are soon recognized and enjoyed!

Privacy:

Nowadays our homes have become one of the few places where we can find privacy. Fencing in your back yard is a great way to build your own private space to entertain guests and create memorable moments with your family.

Containment:

Fences are safety perimeters for your children and pets. It provides a safe place for your children to play, keeping them in arms reach and away from the street. It also keeps unwanted animals out and your pets safely in.

Security:

A fence acts as a security measure placing a clear boundary around your home while protecting your assets. Storing your outdoor toys behind the security of a fence keeps them out of sight and out of mind.

Curb Appeal:

Let’s face it; the right fence just makes any house look better. Building the fence that fits your home is sure to add curb appeal. There are many styles to choose from, and we can help pick the fence that’s right for you!

Value:

Value is not only the equity a fence adds to your home, it’s much more than that. It’s the back yard experiences, the BBQs, the birthday parties, the times with family and friends outdoors that gives you the memorable value out of a fence.

Resale benefits:

Is there the possibility you may sell your home in the future? Here is something good to remember. Because a fence makes your home more marketable to potential buyers over a home without a fence, it’s a good idea to look at your options. Even if you are in a home short term and want the advantage of owning a fence during your time there, just remember a fence can help you sell your home when you are ready!

Locate your property lines to be sure you are building in the correct location.

Contact your HOA to see if there are any restrictions you must follow.

If you are friendly with your next door neighbors, ask them if they are planning to build a fence. They just might be willing to split the cost on the shared portion of the fence.
