Vinyl / PVC Fences

The Benefits of Vinyl Fencing

If you want a fence that looks great without the hassle of constant maintenance, vinyl is your answer. At GuardGate McLean Fences, we install high-quality vinyl fences that give you the beauty of painted wood without the work. No more staining, painting, or sealing. Just occasional washing to keep it looking brand new.

Vinyl fencing has become incredibly popular in McLean and throughout Virginia for good reason. It stands up to our humid summers and cold winters without warping, cracking, or fading. It never rots, rusts, or attracts insects. Your vinyl fence will look as good in 20 years as it does the day we install it.

Why Vinyl Outperforms Other Materials

Let's be honest about what makes vinyl fencing such a smart choice for busy homeowners:

• Zero maintenance: No staining, no painting, no sealing. Just spray it down with a garden hose once or twice a year.
• Long lifespan: Quality vinyl fences can last 30 years or more with virtually no upkeep.
• Weather resistant: Won't crack, split, or fade in harsh weather. UV inhibitors protect against sun damage.
• Won't rot or rust: Unlike wood fences that can rot or metal fences that can rust, vinyl stays perfect.
• Pest proof: Termites and other insects have no interest in vinyl.
• Color stays true: The color goes through the entire material, so scratches don't show, and it never needs repainting.
• Strong and flexible: Modern vinyl is surprisingly strong yet flexible enough to withstand impacts without breaking.

Vinyl Fence Styles We Install

Vinyl fencing comes in just as many styles as wood, giving you plenty of options to match your home and landscape. Here are the most popular choices:

Most vinyl fences come in white, tan, and gray, but we can also source wood-grain textures and other colors if you want something different.

Installation and Quality Materials

Not all vinyl fencing is created equal. We only use premium-grade vinyl from trusted manufacturers. Cheap vinyl can become brittle and crack, especially in cold weather. The vinyl we install is engineered to handle temperature extremes and resist UV damage.

Proper installation is just as important as quality materials. We set posts in concrete below the frost line to prevent shifting. We use stainless steel hardware that won't rust. We ensure panels are perfectly level and gates operate smoothly. These details make the difference between a fence that lasts a few years and one that lasts decades.

We handle all aspects of your fence installation, from pulling permits to cleanup. We work efficiently and respect your property, leaving your yard clean when we're finished.

Cost and Value

Yes, vinyl costs more upfront than wood. But when you factor in the years of maintenance costs for wood fencing, vinyl often comes out ahead. Think about it: no staining every few years, no repairs for rotted posts or damaged boards, no painting. That's money and time saved over the life of your fence.

Vinyl fencing also adds value to your property. Potential buyers love the idea of a beautiful fence that requires no work. It's a smart investment that pays off in convenience and curb appeal.
