There are many reasons that vinyl fencing can and should replace your current fencing. Not only is it easy to maintain and stylish, but it could add value to your home if you install them around your property. As summers grow hotter and winters grow colder, many people prefer a low-maintenance fence that doesn’t need to be repeatedly painted, mended or repaired. Below are the top five reasons why you should consider vinyl fencing today:

1.A vinyl fence adds re-sale value: You may not wish to sell you house right now. But you should never say never-in a few years or even decades, you may wish to sell your house. Items that add beauty to the home and area easy to care for will add value to the home, ensuring a much higher selling price. One of those items is vinyl fencing. A vinyl fence is so elegant and easy to clean and maintain that many will wonder why they haven’t installed on their property already.

2.Vinyl fences never need painting: When your vinyl fence purchase arrives, it comes in the color that it will stay for the rest of its existence. If you ordered a white vinyl picket fence, then that fence will always stay that color. It will not fade in the sun. If it gets caked in mud due to rain or muddy puddles, a quick hose down with water and it will be like new again. You can spill paint or any other stains or dyes on it, and it will not pick up any color.

3.Vinyl Fences don’t chip or get waterlogged: If you live in an area where it rains a lot, your wooden fences may need lots of care. You likely have to treat them at least once a year with a water sealer to make sure that stormy weather doesn’t make the wood rot. Once wood begins to rot, not only is it discolored and unpleasant to look at, but it also can begin to weaken and fall apart. Vinyl fencing does not absorb water and will never rot or become water logged at all. No matter how much rain falls into your yard, your vinyl fence will look the same as the day it was installed.

4.Vinyl fencing is strong: Even if you live in an area with hurricanes or tornadoes, your vinyl fence won’t bend or snap in half like wooden fences would. It is made of heavy-duty and super-strong vinyl that is thick. The thickness of the vinyl makes it virtually impossible for anything to bend it in half or make it break. They are nearly indestructible and will likely last you a lifetime.

5.Vinyl fencing comes in all shapes and sizes: We already mentioned picket fencing but did we also mention that vinyl fencing comes in patio and pool versions as well? If you want complete privacy, you can buy a large enough vinyl fence to where your neighbors can’t see over or through your new fence. If you live on a ranch or farm, you can also buy and easily install horse vinyl fencing.

I have my own “handyman” business and can’t seem to find people that want to work. Maybe I am being too hard on them-how much siding should they hang in a day and how much should I be paying them?

Am debating between liquid vinyl siding, Tex-Coat and standard vinyl siding. Thought liquid would be less than “real” siding, but after getting my first estimate - WOW! Sure doesn’t seem any less. So if it’s not cheaper, any advantage to choosing liquid instead of siding?

Vinyl siding on a house saves huge amounts of re-painting and waterproofing and general maintenance. If you have often wished that you could have vinyl siding on your house, but did not like the pale grays, whites and pastels that were the only option, then read on.

A new product has been introduced into the manufacture of vinyl siding which means that suddenly we can have dark and intense colors in vinyl siding! So anyone who prefers the natural dark woody look on the exterior of their home can now choose a dark brown color yet still have the maintenance free care that comes with vinyl home coverings. The most you may have to do is to wash it once a year, and even then it does not usually need a power washer; a garden hose will do it.

Why the sudden increase in choice of color? Well, the original vinyl siding was known to fade slightly with weathering, so it was only ever introduced in the pale - fade-friendly - colors. This fading tendency is because vinyl siding is made in two layers: first is the substrate layer of PVC, and second is cap stock layer (which is the top layer to protect against weathering). This top layer is made out of polyvinyl chloride which can only offer limited buffering against the weather.

A new coating has now been introduced to protect the color against weathering much more efficiently. It’s called Solarkote and it’s an acrylic cap stock which is applied in the manufacturing stage. It has the qualities we are used to in vinyl, i.e. no peeling of the layers, but it also protects the vinyl against weathering effects. The manufacturer states that it will significantly reduce fading or yellowing. So this is great news for all those people who want the burgundy or navy houses, and keep getting out there with the paintbrush every other year!

With this news, so many more people will no doubt be changing to vinyl siding, so here are a few tips that come from the experts:

Be sure to check the brochure or ask about wind resistance; it’s important to know what the manufacturer offers.

Remember that even though vinyl siding doesn’t trap moisture because it’s hung loosely to encourage free flow of air, it is critical that proper materials such as flashing and builder’s felt or house wrap are installed before the vinyl goes up.

Check the certifications of potential installers; if possible ask for an address nearby where they have installed siding.

Compare thicknesses; to ensure quality; look for thickness for durability as thinner siding may sag over time.

Look for the newer product and use vinyl siding that has Solarkote in it to preserve the color and richness.
