Why Choose a Vinyl Fence for Your Calgary Home or Business?

One of the most attractive features of vinyl fencing is a welcome surprise to many Calgary property owners. Its eco-friendliness is sometimes overlooked – but is an increasingly important consideration for homeowners. However, that’s just one of many reasons why people are choosing vinyl fencing. The long list of benefits includes: Eco-friendliness - It has a minimal impact on the environment due to the 100-percent recycled materials used in its manufacture. The lack of need for chemical weatherproofing sealants, staining, painting or pest treatments is also better for the environment. Security - A vinyl fence does a fine job of securing the perimeter of your property. Despite being lighter than wood, it provides a sturdy and imposing structure that can deter potential intruders. Privacy - Your vinyl fence can be built tall enough to allow a high level of privacy in your backyard and other areas of your property. Durability - Vinyl is resistant to rot, discoloration, sun damage, corrosion, and moisture damage (no warping), all of which can be major problems for some types of fencing in the harsh Calgary climate. Low-maintenance - Because it needs no special treatments, a vinyl fence is very low-maintenance. A quick blast with a water-based cleaner once a year is the extent of the maintenance you’ll have to do. Visual appeal - While vinyl fencing has traditionally been viewed as one of the least attractive options, the advances of technology have helped provide more options: a good variety of colours and designs are now available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a vinyl fence cheaper than wood?

You will find that vinyl fencing is a little more expensive than most wooden fencing or, in some cases, around the same price.

How long does vinyl fencing last?

You already know that vinyl fencing is durable but how long can you expect one to last?

The lifetime warranties tell you their own story. Without any maintenance, your fence will last decades.

Vinyl has five times the tensile strength of wood, which is a good indication of its strength. It also boasts four times the flexibility of wood.

What are the differences between PVC and vinyl?

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a common form of vinyl used in many ways around the home: from plumbing and electrical insulation to fencing.

PVC is a popular type of vinyl and is a commonly used material because it is inexpensive and durable. This often leads to the two terms “vinyl fencing” and “PVC fencing” being used interchangeably.

However, many vinyl fences contain other formulations of vinyl to deliver the required performance over the long-term.

As a painting contractors and real estate agent, I have no doubt in confidence in their work. Great leadership and workmanship throughout. You’ll get to experience a modern way of how contracting should feel like. I have no worries referring them to current clients of mine.

Graham Kennelly

Searching for a fence contractor to replace my backyard fence, two of my coworkers recommended First Class based on their professionalism, quality, and expertise. Intrigued, I contacted them.

The owner was very personable, straightforward, and efficient, and had a quotation for me within a day. I immediately had a good feeling about this company, not just because my coworkers (who had much bigger jobs done for their residences and dealt with the same individuals). I definitely appreciated how he was honest and straightforward and communicative thoughout the whole process including what has to be done.

His team came by and did a great job with tearing down the old fence and replacing the new one. They worked efficiently and expertly. It was exactly as I expected it to be, and they did what they needed to do to ensure it was a fantastic, satisfactory job.

First Class Fencing is definitely worth contacting. I would, and have, recommended them to other people. I would definitely hire them again!

Herman

Great company and crew. Feels great having the nicest fence in the community. If you want a fence built right Tyler and his crew are who to go with.

Tyler kept us informed of start dates as due to weather he was pushed off but to make up for it the guys worked through the weekend and finished on time and budget. The crew was so nice and pleasant to work with and extremely anal when it came to building the fence making sure it was straight and plum. I’ve never seen a crew take their time like these guys did making sure everything was aligned and identical.

They built the fence like it was their own and you can’t ask for anything else. The fence stands out in our community.

Cannot give them enough praise

Miles

We are very satisfied with our new fence.Work meets our expectation. Mckeehan and Jacqueline did a great job-thank you both!

Merly

Tyler was great with coming to our home and assessing the damage from a car that nailed our fence and gate. He takes great pride in the workmanship of his company and does the “job right the first time” which is also the company’s motto. The partial rebuild and gate construction are solid and were done better than by the “professionals” who tried to do the original project. I highly recommend First Class Fencing for anyone who is interested in great workmanship and a 5-year warranty. Thanks Tyler for a great job!

Wendy

First Class understood what we needed, explained the options specific to our property, provided competitive pricing and got the job done in one weekend. We are so happy with this contractor!
