Many San Antonio homes wouldn't be complete without a fence. No matter where you live, security and privacy are usually qualities that homeowners are eager to achieve. A quality residential fence is a key component to these ends. Along with keeping things off your property, they also keep children and pets safely within your property line. Moreover, San Antonio neighborhoods, more than other places, frequently don't have sidewalks. A small decorative fence will help frame your front yard and enhance your outdoor landscaping.
Aluminum Fencing
Whether you're looking at larger privacy fences or small landscaping fences, one of the first things you'll need to choose is your fencing material. Wood is beautiful, popular, and affordable, but don't doesn't provide nearly the same strength or durability as aluminum. Aluminum won't rot, rust, catch fire, or attract termites and other pests. Additionally, it almost never requires repair or maintenance as wood fences often do.
Types of Fencing
Aluminum fencing may not sound like a beautiful fence installation at first, but few people realize the power and versatility available with modern finishing. Aluminum can be built and painted like a white picket fence. It can be fashioned to imitate the most ornate wrought iron fencing designs. If privacy and security aren't huge issues, an aluminum post and rail fence can give your property a beautiful, lasting border for an affordable price. Traditional panel fencing can also be made from aluminum with any number of beautiful finishes.
Fence Installation
Local San Antonio fence contractors offer more than just the convenience and professionalism of expert fence building. They bring local knowledge to your project, which is vital to building the best possible fence for your home. Much of central Texas, for example, has a 12" layer of unstable topsoil that must be accounted for during fence installation. This means fence posts may need to be dug a little deeper than in other areas, despite the relative lack of extreme weather.
Do-it-yourself fence building is far from impossible, but it's also more difficult than many homeowners imagine. At the very least, even a competent DIY fence building project probably won't have the same longevity as a job done by a professional San Antonio aluminum fence builder. If you're willing to spend the extra money for aluminum fencing, you might as well pay a pro to build the fence right as well.
Cost of Fencing
Many homeowners find they don't want to run to the least expensive option, but can't afford a high-end installation, either. Aluminum fencing is a little more expensive than wood, a little less expensive than vinyl, and nowhere near as much as a classic wrought iron fence. Each and every day, HomeAdvisor collects data on aluminum fence installations in San Antonio and throughout the country. The national average to build an aluminum fence is $3,440. (Wood fences average $2,863, and vinyl fences average $3,962.)
We find that San Antonio fencing contractors usually come in a little below the national average, but obviously the cost of your fencing installation can vary from the average quite a bit depending on the size of the fence you want built.
Project Length
The size of your fence will, naturally, affect not only the cost but the time it takes to build, as well. A small fence can be built in a day; a more extensive project may take up to a week. Total project lengths may run well over a week and closer to two weeks. This time is usually spent making sure you and your San Antonio fence contractor are on the same page and scheduling a time for the project that meets both your needs. Talk to multiple contractors to find someone you trust and the most reasonably priced bid. Don't assume your contractor knows what you want, either. The most common complaint we hear stems from simple miscommunication between homeowners and contractors about what was expected from the fencing project.
