Most homes have or could use some type of fence for their yard. Whether you need privacy and security or simply want to spruce up your property, a fence is a great way to improve your outdoor landscaping. It wasn't that long ago that the only choice for residential fencing was a wood fence, chain link fence, or an elaborate wrought iron fence. Today, more and more homeowners are discovering the benefits of fencing alternatives. Aluminum fences are built to last, won't rust or rot, and can fulfill any common fencing needs.
Installing Aluminum Fencing
Some homeowners are tempted to install their own fences. If this is you, beware that not every fence installation is the same and the information you find on the Internet may not be accurate for Austin fence installations. Despite the fact that Austin rarely sees extreme winds, much of Texas is covered with about 12 inches of unstable topsoil. The good news is that the extra strength of aluminum means you can install panel sections of about 8 ft. which reduces the labor cost of hiring an Austin aluminum fence installer. Aluminum, like any other fencing material, also comes in several different grades that will affect your fence's stability.
Fencing Design
In Austin, aluminum fences come in all shapes and sizes. You can install a small decorative landscaping fence or garden fence that's every bit as beautiful as a wood one, but won't attract termites or other pests that can wreak havoc on your home, garden, and lawn. If security and privacy aren't huge priorities, you can install a white picket aluminum fence or even a post and rail fence that is a reasonable facsimile of the real thing. Aluminum fences can be designed and finished to imitate beautiful wrought iron fences for a fraction of the cost. You can also build a traditional panelized privacy fence made from aluminum. It won't have an authentic wood texture, but it'll be aesthetically pleasing nonetheless.
Cost of an Aluminum Fence Installation
HomeAdvisor does a lot more than just find local home improvement contractors for homeowners. We also gather customer satisfaction ratings on all our contractors and specific information on the projects themselves. Here's what we've learned about Austin aluminum fence installations: The average cost is between $2,500-$3,000 (which is just a little below the national average). As expected, aluminum fences are a little more expensive than wood fences and a little less expensive than vinyl fences. Of course, an aluminum fence will still be going strong long after your wood fence has needed repair work. This makes aluminum fences the most cost-effective fence installation you can choose.
Project Length
Austin aluminum fence projects usually take a little bit longer than other fence projects, although this usually involves getting on the same page with your contractor and deciding the exact specifications of your fence so it can then be fabricated. The most common complaint we hear from homeowners has to do with simple miscommunication about what the fence was supposed to be. Naturally, you'll also want to spend some time getting multiple bids from Austin aluminum fence builders to ensure you get a reasonable price for your fence installation.
