A fenced in yard can provide your family with endless joy outside, allowing the kids and pets to roam safely, while also providing some privacy. For some families, fences also prevent a neighboring dog from running through your well-manicured garden. Additionally, fences can act as a blank canvas when landscaping, allowing you to arrange plants and flowers up against a fence to accentuate a certain part of your yard and draw attention to your hard work.
Endless choices and styles
One of the first decisions you will need to make is what type of material and style you envision. Long Fence, a family-owned and operated business, has myriad choices to match your style and budget. Material choices include aluminum, wood, ornamental iron, vinyl, and chain link. Vinyl, or PVC, fences have been around for many years, and there have been many transformations and improvements during this time. Many homeowners prefer vinyl for its low maintenance appeal—no need to paint it every couple of years—while others prefer the look of real wood that weathers over time, sometimes turning into different shades of gray. Depending on whether the wood is cedar or pressure treated, you can expect different hues and colors.
Long Fence also installs a large number of chain link fences, known for their affordability, reliability, sturdiness, and openness. Even with chain link fences, there are ways to customize with different colors available.
Making the process easy for the homeowner
The process of selecting a fence is as easy as calling 866-977-4060 and scheduling your free in-home estimate with one of their employees. Another option would be to visit longfence.com and complete the free in-home estimate form. You request will be followed up with a phone call from one of their representatives, most often within 24 hours, if not sooner (except weekends), whereby you can schedule your appointment directly with one of their agents. There is no obligation to purchase and a representative – not a high-pressure salesperson but rather an educator – will come to your home at a time convenient for you to discuss options and help you make the choice for you. Proposals are valid for 30 days, which is advantageous in these economic times where prices can fluctuate on certain goods. Long Fence will also work with the homeowner to provide the necessary information they may need to gain the HOA’s approval. Long Fence can also take care of permitting when required and calls to Miss Utility, which is required before they dig.
Besides accepting all major credit cards for payment, financing is also available to qualified buyers.
Long Fence guarantees their products for one full year against defects and materials and workmanship with some products backed by a manufacturer’s warranty as well.
Adding value to your home
Of course, with any home renovation or addition, homeowners are looking to add value to their home when it comes time to sell your home. A fenced in yard definitely adds value, as prospective homebuyers are drawn to a home that already has one, eliminating one more expense for them once they move in.
A beautiful fence also provides curb appeal—not only for you when you drive up to your home, but also to homebuyers when you sell your home. A well-manicured yard with a gorgeous fence will help your home stand out from the crowd.
Family-owned business
Many people are familiar with Long Fence as the company has been in business since 1945 when Henry Long opened a small fence company in Washington, D.C. The business remains a family-owned business, with five generations of the Long family still involved in the day-to-day operations.
At Long Fence you will find that many employees have been with the company for decades – a true testament to the culture and commitment they have to their customers and the communities they serve.
