Can a New Fence Increase the Value of Your Property?

Whether you’re perfectly content with your current home or looking to sell and maximize your profits, as a homeowner, you are always mindful of what you can do to increase the value of your property. And as you may know, you definitely have a lot of options for doing so. Things like new landscaping, a fresh coat of paint, new garage doors, and a new roof can all go a long way in boosting your home’s value, but one of the most sensical and easy to undertake is a new fence installation. 

Here are just a few of the ways a new fence can increase the value of your property. 

Aesthetics and Curb Appeal

The most obvious value increase from a new fence is the effect it will have on your property’s overall aesthetics and curb appeal. A new fence, especially one with a fresh and perhaps contemporary design, will have a major influence on how your home looks as a whole. After all, old, outdated fences can make your home look, well, old and outdated . Sprucing things up with a new fence will instantly boost the aesthetics and curb appeal, even if you don’t do much else to the exterior. Going further with a more updated and unique look by taking advantage of materials like steel , aluminum , or even vinyl fence designs can help even more. 

Security

If your home’s fencing is damaged, worn out, or even missing panels, the security of your property is compromised, which will certainly not discourage intruders and the occasional animal who may otherwise decide to keep moving by instead of exploiting an easy way in. This aspect also plays into the property value of your home. Ensuring a high level of security with a new fence will go a long way in keeping your property value up. 

Privacy 

Privacy is a concern for almost any homeowner, especially in certain neighborhoods when the layout of neighboring homes and geography can create an unwanted lack of privacy. With a new fence installation, you can pick not only your own materials and designs but also the size—which certainly includes the height. If desired, you can install a tall fence without any gaps, ensuring a boosted sense of privacy and peace of mind. And, as you guessed, you’ll increase your home’s value in the process.
