When your clients hire you, they’re looking for a few things. The first, of course, is your competency in installation. But they might also want to tap your expertise. They may ask for recommendations about everything from materials to design choices.
If they ask about fencing, you can help them choose a top-tier option by recommending vinyl fencing from Vinyl Craft. Vinyl fencing and gates have some notable benefits over the alternatives.
Here are a few reasons vinyl is a good recommendation for your clients — and some vinyl features you may want to highlight for them.
Durability
One of the key differentiators in vinyl fencing is its lifespan. Vinyl fences and gates last longer than other options, primarily because they’re both weather and pest-resistant.
Compare it against wood, for example. Moisture and sun exposure contributes to a range of wood fencing issues, like:
- Rot
- Warping
- Splintering
On top of that, termites and other insects can burrow into the wood, further compromising the fence’s structural integrity.
Metal might seem like a better option then. But it’s more susceptible to moisture problems. Even with good coating, metal fences often rust and get corroded as time marches on.
Vinyl, then, stands apart. While it’s generally more expensive than wood, if you look at the cost over time, using vinyl is often more cost-effective overall. A wood fence, for example, often lasts about 15 years (maybe 20, if you’re lucky). Vinyl fencing, on the other hand, has a normal lifespan of 30 years — double that of wood. And some vinyl fences even last up to 50 years.
Easy installation and maintenance
Vinyl also tops other fencing material types because it delivers ease. For starters, because vinyl fencing from Vinyl Craft can be pre-cut & pre-routed, or even ordered as pre-fabricated panel kits, installation is faster. For clients who are concerned about when their project can be completed, vinyl offers clear advantages.
And the speed carries over when it comes time to maintain that fence. While wood fencing requires regular painting/staining and sealing and metal needs rust-prevention measures, maintaining the vinyl fence is fast and easy. Because it’s mold and mildew resistant, this material usually only needs a quick hose-off to look like new.
Safety
For clients concerned about privacy, the gap-free nature of vinyl panels is often attractive. Plus, the way the panels interlock and get supported by reinforced posts means the fencing provides a secure perimeter.
Vinyl fencing from Vinyl Craft offers other safety advantages, too. To last as long as possible, wood fences often need treatment with chemicals. These can leach into the soil, harming plants, pets, wildlife, and even humans. Vinyl doesn’t introduce any potentially harmful chemicals.
And if your client has children, wood poses another risk: splinters. Vinyl provides a smooth surface that’s safe for kids to play near without any fear of getting caught on a rough spot.
Clearly, vinyl fencing from Vinyl Craft can deliver some notable benefits to your clientele. Plus, it adds a beautiful touch to their property, which can serve as the cherry on top of all your other quality work.
