Both are assembled from posts, rails and panels, with no individual boards to nail and nothing to paint.
Vinyl suits homeowners who want a tidy, attractive fence and would rather spend their weekends on something other than staining. Call (704) 868-3559 to book a free visit, or browse all of our residential fencing options first.
Is a Vinyl Fence Right for Your Yard?
A vinyl fence in Gastonia, NC is a strong fit for some yards and the wrong one for others. These are the signs it may be right for you:
- You are tired of staining, sealing or painting a wood fence
- You want a bright, even look that matches white trim
- Your neighborhood favors a clean, uniform look
- You need full privacy for a backyard, patio or hot tub
- You want an open, horse-fence look along a front yard
If your yard has steep slopes, we will talk through how vinyl panels step down the grade. They do not bend to follow the ground the way some metal panels can.
How We Handle PVC Fence Installation
A vinyl fence in Gastonia, NC is only as straight as its posts, so most of the care goes into layout and setting them. Here is how a job runs with us.
Walking the Fence Line
We visit your home, walk the property with you and mark where each run and gate will go. You hear what the yard truly needs, not a pitch for the priciest option.
A Free Written Quote
Your estimate is in writing and costs nothing. It lists the style, color, height and gates, and we go over the local fence rules and any HOA guidelines with you first.
Setting Posts and Panels
One of our two installation crews sets the posts, checks them for plumb and fits the panels and rails. Every crew member is a J & G employee.
Our Triple-Check at the End
We triple-check the lines, the post caps and the gate hardware before calling the job finished. You walk the fence with us at the end.
Vinyl Privacy Fence Options for Backyards
A vinyl privacy fence uses solid panels that lock securely between the posts, leaving no openings to see through. It gives a backyard complete visual separation, with no boards to warp, split or deteriorate over time.
The most popular color is white, and a white vinyl fence brightens a yard and complements the trim on many homes. If white feels too bright for your house, ask about other colors during the estimate, and we will show you how each one looks against your siding and brick.
Vinyl privacy panels are an excellent fit around patios, hot tubs and back property lines where neighbors live close by. Dirt and pollen wash off with a garden hose, which makes seasonal cleanup quick and easy. That convenience is a major reason homeowners who are exhausted by staining decide on vinyl.
Vinyl Post and Rail Fence for an Open Look
A vinyl post and rail fence has two or three horizontal rails between posts, much like a classic farm fence. It marks a boundary and frames a lawn without obstructing any view.
Homeowners frequently use it along a front yard, a long driveway or the perimeter of a larger property. It also works beautifully to line a garden bed or a walkway, and because it is vinyl, it holds its bright finish without the painting a wood rail fence would need.
Post-and-rail is not designed to contain small pets on its own, since the openings between the rails are generous. If you want the open look in wood instead, our split rail fence page covers acreage and property-line work. For a solid fence in a natural material, see our wood fence styles.
Factors Behind the Price of a Vinyl Fence
The price of a vinyl fence in Gastonia, NC depends on the style, the height and the size of your yard. Your free written estimate gives the real figure, built around these items:
- Privacy panels or open post-and-rail
- The height of the fence
- Total footage and the number of corners
- The color you choose
- Gates, including double drive gates
- Slopes that need the fence to step down
We go through each line of the estimate with you. We will point out any place where a simpler choice would save money without giving up what you need.
What Sets J & G Apart on Vinyl Fencing
Our story began in 1989, after Hurricane Hugo, when Joe and Gary started rebuilding fences for their Gastonia neighbors. Today the company is still locally owned and operated, and Joe remains involved in the work.
Day to day, Tim manages the business alongside Angie, who keeps the office and the schedule organized, and Tim's son Logan represents the next generation. The two crews who build your fence are J & G employees, not day labor.
More than half of our jobs each year come from repeat customers and the people they send our way. That is the measure we care about most, and it is why we put every price in writing.
Vinyl and PVC Fence Questions
Every board on this fence is a question we hear often. Pick one and it swings open.
How is vinyl different from a wood fence?
Vinyl will not rot, splinter or need paint, and it keeps the same look with little more than a rinse. Wood has a natural feel and can be stained any color you like, though it needs more upkeep. Many homeowners decide based on how much care they want to give the fence. We build both, so we can compare them honestly.
Does vinyl hold up in windy weather?
A well-built vinyl fence handles normal wind, and posts set firmly in the ground do most of the work. Open post-and-rail styles let wind pass right through. After a major storm, any fence can take damage, and we handle storm damage repair and section replacement when that happens to your fence.
Can a vinyl fence follow a sloped yard?
Yes, though it usually steps down the hill rather than bending with it. Each panel sits level, and the panels drop in steps along the slope. On steeper ground this can leave small gaps under the low side of each panel, and we will explain how we plan for that during your estimate.
Is vinyl a good fence for dogs?
Solid vinyl privacy panels work well for most dogs, since there is nothing to see through or climb. Dogs that chew may scratch the surface, and diggers can still work at the bottom, so we plan the bottom edge and the gates with your pet in mind. Post-and-rail styles are not meant to contain dogs by themselves.
How do I clean a vinyl fence?
Most dirt, pollen and mildew comes off with a garden hose and a soft brush. For tougher spots, mild soap and water usually do the job. Skip harsh scrubbing pads, which can dull the surface. A rinse once or twice a year keeps the fence looking bright, and there is never any paint or stain to redo.
