Pricing on all fencing materials can fluctuate, but generally speaking, the up-front cost of aluminum fencing is often higher than other types of fencing. However, because aluminum fencing doesn’t rust, or rot, or splinter, and it never needs to be painted or refinished – the total cost of ownership can turn out to be lower over the full life of the fence.
The Richmond, Virginia climate is a major factor when determining the total cost. Wood fencing (for example) will usually be less expensive than aluminum fencing, but will require continuous upkeep which, over time, will add time and money to the total cost of your fence.
Additionally, many Richmond, Virginia homeowners claim that aluminum fencing has a positive impact on the price of their home if and when they sell it down the road.

Chain link fences are popular everywhere, and Richmond, Virginia is no different. Chain link is a strong, durable material that is low maintenance, too. Many people prefer chain link fences for their dog yards, pool yards, and any kind of space that needs security and protection. The versatility and relatively low cost of chain link fencing make it a great choice for just about any situation or location.
It’s fairly easy to secure your chain link fence from being able to be pushed out for an animal to escape. All you need to add is a bottom tension wire to reinforce the fabric and frame. Tension wire can be added in a variety of gauges just like the chain link fabric itself can be adjusted. If a tension wire is not enough, a bottom rail could also be installed for a stronger barrier.
Chain link fencing is totally appropriate for providing protection for pools in the Richmond, Virginia area and can be configured to meet pool safety regulations. We recommend choosing a PVC-coated mesh to give your chain link fence additional protection from pool water and the elements.
Chain link fencing is maintenance-free! No need to treat it or clean it, except to spray it down with a hose once a year if it builds up a little dirt. The galvanized zinc coating helps protect the steel from rust and corrosion and when you buy a PVC-coated steel fence, that adds another layer of protection, giving you a fence that will stand on its own for many years to come.

Wood fencing in Virginia is one of the best-priced fencing materials available. All fencing prices can fluctuate, and it depends on the type of wood, size, and style to know exactly what the price will be. One downside to wood fencing is its propensity to warp or rot over time, sooner than most other materials. This should be factored into the overall cost as repairs and maintenance add up as well.
Wood fences do require more maintenance than some other types of fencing, but when properly cared for, they have an unmatched beauty that makes the extra effort worthwhile. To ensure the longevity of your wood fence, begin with the application of a high-quality stain or paint product and recoat every 2-3 years. We recommend that you check your fence now and then for any problem areas you may notice, like boards warping or cracking, and get the problem areas fixed right away. Regular upkeep will allow your wood fence to last longer.
We will custom-build your wood fence in styles that will give you the privacy you would like for your property. Wood fences can be built in solid panel or semi-private designs based on your preferences and needs. You can even adjust the height of your fence and the shape of the picket tops.

Wood fences are susceptible to rot and warping, however, if properly maintained with high-quality paint or stain and examined regularly for damage, a wood fence may last for decades. The type of wood your fence is made out of can also affect how long it will last. We use a high-quality, pressure-treated pine that will outperform traditional wood.
