Your fence material determines how long it lasts and how much you spend maintaining it. Pick wrong and you'll repaint, repair, or replace sooner than you want.
Cedar costs less upfront than vinyl but needs maintenance. You'll stain or seal it every few years. It looks natural. It smells good. It weathers to gray if you skip the maintenance. Bugs can damage it, but proper treatment helps. Cedar lasts 15 to 20 years with care.
Vinyl costs more now but saves you time later. No painting. No staining. Hose it off when it gets dirty. It won't rot, crack, or splinter. Vinyl lasts 30 years or more. White stays white. Colors don't fade much. Cold weather can make cheap vinyl brittle. We use quality vinyl that handles Wilmington winters.
Chain link gives you the lowest price and the longest life. It won't rot or need paint. You see through it, so it doesn't work for privacy. Great for keeping dogs in or marking property lines. Add slats if you want some privacy. Chain link lasts 20 years minimum.
Aluminum and iron look sharp. They cost more than wood or vinyl. Aluminum won't rust. Iron needs protective coating or it will. Both give you that classic look around pools or front yards. They last decades with minimal care.
Here's what matters most: match the material to your needs. Want low maintenance? Choose vinyl or aluminum. Want natural look? Choose cedar. Want budget-friendly? Choose chain link.
We manufacture and install all these materials. We've done fence installation Wilmington properties for years. We know what holds up here. We know what looks good. We know what fits your budget. You get honest advice about what works, not what makes us the most money.
