In the words of Robert Frost, “good fences make good neighbors,” which we can all relate to. Being in a community surrounded by wonderful neighbors is the ideal situation. But just because you get along with the people next door, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you won’t appreciate a little privacy to enjoy quiet time with your family. A fence is a perfect way to set boundaries, gain privacy, and keep your furry loved ones in your yard, while still allowing them to roam. But there are many other advantages to adding a fence – or repairing one. These are the biggest reasons to consider having a new fence installation and repair.

Add Value and Equity

A fence is one of those upgrades that not everyone can afford, but most homebuyers appreciate. According to statistics, a well-built fence can increase the value of your home by as much as $1500 to $5000 depending on the material and type. When you consider the average cost of building, you not only get to enjoy your fence, if you should sell your home, you will recoup about 70% of the money you spent on your new fence installation. 

Keep in Furry Friends

There is no better way to allow your dogs to run free in your yard without worrying about them getting loose. A fence is an excellent way to both let them roam, while also keeping them contained. Electric fences are great, but the training process doesn’t work with every animal. And you also have to worry about the batteries going out, or an electrical surge, that can leave them open to getting away. With a fence, you know that it will have the predictability of working 100% of the time.

 Keeping Out Trespassers

A fence not only keeps animals and children in your yard; it keeps out trespassers. You won’t have to worry about other animals and pets encroaching on your property. And a fence can make an excellent deterrent for someone looking to take advantage. Leaving things like bikes and toys out on your lawn won’t be enticing, whatever is yours will stay safe and hidden in the confines of your home’s property.

A Fence Installation ADDS Privacy

Your home is your haven – a place where you can let your guard down and relax. If you have neighbors that are too close, it can feel like an invasion when you are trying to enjoy some alone time with friends and family. A fence is an excellent way to separate you from the rest of the community at will. But they aren’t so off-putting that they feel like you are trying to be secluded. A fence makes the perfect happy medium for people looking to only see their neighbors and socialize when they want to.

Aesthetically – They Just Look Stately

A fence is a perfect separation to make your home look stately. It helps to showcase your home and gives it that high-end luxury feel. With so many different types of fences to choose from, you can find the one that will best suit your home. And if you choose the right fence installation and repair company, it can significantly improve your curbside appeal to make it that much more appealing.
