Is an aluminum fence a good choice for the Middleborough MA area?

Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the Middleborough MA region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight; with their durable protective coating, aluminum fences easily stand up to the harsh weather conditions of Middleborough MA.

Other fence materials are less expensive initially, but aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, aluminum fencing is a less expensive fencing material, saving time and money when compared to many other alternatives because aluminum fences do not need to be painted or sealed.

If a maintenance-free elegant fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.

How durable are aluminum fences?

Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business while standing strong in the face of the Middleborough MA weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more is usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.

It should be mentioned, however, that some discount fencing contractors in Middleborough MA are known to undercut prices by using lower-quality aluminum fencing, which absolutely does not hold up well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!

How much will a new aluminum fence cost?

Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.

We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! E-mail us or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.

Important!

We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality aluminum fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will bend, and have limited, if any, warranty. We don't use them.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.

Aluminum fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Middleborough MA weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.

Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

How do I maintain my aluminum fence?

Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is naturally rust and corrosion-resistant. In addition, our professional-quality aluminum fencing has been factory-treated, further preventing rust and corrosion while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower-quality aluminum fencing.

For this reason, an occasional rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!

What is a powder-coated aluminum fence?

Our aluminum fences are powder-coated at the factory. A powder coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.

If you are considering an aluminum fence for your Middleborough MA property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. To minimize your stress, we ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for residential and commercial applications.

Do aluminum fences have a warranty?

Yes, they do!

Our aluminum fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific brand and style of aluminum fence you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring that all aluminum fencing materials and powder-coated finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course, we will guide you through these essential details to make sure you get the best warranty available.

We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship. We earn our outstanding reputation in Middleborough MA one happy customer at a time!

How long will it take to get my aluminum fence installed?

Whether you need a residential aluminum fence or a commercial-grade aluminum fence, it generally only takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Middleborough MA, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your aluminum fence project.

You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!

Once you approve the estimate, we can often install aluminum fences in most of Middleborough MA within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.

Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom aluminum fence material, style, color, or add-ons that must be specially ordered, your fence installation will often be delayed. Like nearly every fencing contractor in the Middleborough MA, we do not stock a large amount of custom aluminum fencing options. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

How can I estimate how much fence I need for my project?

Make it Easy on Yourself!

Don't stress yourself! Our fence experts will gladly come to your property and take all necessary measurements! We are a full-service fence company that specializes in aluminum fence installation. You do not need to work hard to get a great new fence.

DIY Fence Estimate

If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:

If you know the dimensions of the area you wish to enclose, add the length of each side together. Use a tape measure. Rough estimates are fine; there is no need to be too precise.
Be sure to subtract the length of any structures, like a house, a barn, or a shed, that will serve as part of the barrier. This will give you a rough estimate of how much fencing you need.
For even greater accuracy, subtract the length of any gates you will be using. Often, gates are priced much differently than fencing. For this reason, we recommend that property owners looking to develop their fence estimate list the gates separately. A standard walk gate is approximately 4 feet wide, and a standard single driveway gate is closer to 10 feet wide.

Caution!

Aluminum fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!

If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Middleborough MA area use!

What are some of the most popular applications of aluminum fencing in Middleborough MA?

The versatility of aluminum fences makes it uniquely suited for many applications. Listed below are some of the most popular uses of aluminum fencing:

Decorative Aluminum Fencing
Many believe that black aluminum fencing is the most elegant and beautiful fence to provide the ideal accent to their entire property or just a portion of it.
Aluminum Pool Fencing
One of the most common uses of aluminum fencing in the Middleborough MA area is to protect and beautify a pool area. Aluminum fences are designed for pools; they are non-corrosive, attractive, and simple to see beyond, allowing you to monitor easily.
Aluminum Perimeter Fencing
Typically used for higher priced homes and stunning settings all across Middleborough MA, 4-foot, 5-foot, and even 6-foot or taller aluminum fencing can provide a strong, beautiful, secure perimeter to your property.

Do I need a permit to get an aluminum fence installed in Middleborough MA?

Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes aluminum fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

We have installed many aluminum fences in almost every possible area across Middleborough MA so we are happy to answer these questions and guide you through the process.

The best way to get specific answers quickly and accurately is to call your town building code office.

What time of year is the best to install an aluminum fence in Middleborough MA?

There is no bad time of year to get an aluminum fence in Middleborough MA. As professional fencing contractors, we build aluminum fences across Middleborough MA all year!

There are certain times during the year when our installation schedule is busier, but our fence team always does its best to get you the fence you need right when you need it. Reach out today to find out what our current schedule looks like. We always have room for one more fence!

Do I need a survey done before installing a fence?

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea. In many cases, the property lines are clear and well-marked and installing your fence can be done without an official survey. However, some municipalities do require it, so be sure to check!

Why does it matter if I use a professional fence contractor for my aluminum fence?

Many small fence companies in Middleborough MA install aluminum fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminum fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminum fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminum fence.

Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminum fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:

The Aluminum Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your aluminum fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best aluminum fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install aluminum fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about aluminum fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing aluminum fences in the Middleborough MA area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.

Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!

At first glance, hiring a novice to install your aluminum fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!
