You finally have a beautiful, new wooden fence in your backyard, but perhaps it’s looking a bit plain.  Not only is painting your fence a great way to add to the décor and theme of your backyard, but it’s also a unique opportunity to do some work outside with the family and have fun doing it.  Painting a fence doesn’t have to be a tedious or dreadful experience.  Plan first what color fence would work well with its surroundings (nothing too zany, you don’t want your neighbors to get on your case).

One important thing to remember is not to skimp financially on your project. You should purchase only quality paint and brushes-you’ll probably be happier with the results in the long run. After you figure out what kind of paint you’d like to use and how much of it to get, there are some things to consider about painting your fence properly, especially
with the weather conditions in Florida.

-Make sure you give the fence a quick sanding to remove any dust and dirt
-Choose a good primer to use before painting the fence.  This could help especially in more adverse weather conditions. Also aids with the painting process.
-In Florida, the heat may dry your paint too quickly.  Find an optimal time of day for your work.

Keeping these points in mind, with the general process of painting a fence, will ensure your endeavor goes smoothly.  For a great fence that you can’t wait to apply your brushstrokes to, contact Paramount Fencing today!

The beauty of Vinyl fencing is that it never fades, needs painting, rots or rusts. It’s strong and durable and is very easy to clean.

Vinyl fencing will withstand extreme cold and hot temperatures, as well as high wind. This combination makes it the perfect fence for a home in Florida.

All of these wonderful qualities make vinyl fencing a very cost effective investment. To keep your investment looking it’s best, we have put together a list of known vinyl fence menaces.

· Lawn Equipment – getting to close with a weed-eater, edger or lawn mower could scratch or scuff your fence. The damage is minimal compared to the damage lawn equipment can do to a wood fence but over time those scratches could add up. Just make sure to give yourself a two or three inch buffer zone between your fence and the lawn mower.

· Projectiles – any heavy object hurdled through the air like a baseball, rocks, etc. could ding your fence. Vinyl is durable but heavy objects thrown at high rates of speed can make a mark. Have your star little leaguer aim away from your fence.

Its November, but here in Orlando it still feels like July.  Its so hot and gross, but at least its not as humid. During the summer the humidity makes it feel well into the 100’s. One effect from the summer is mildew or wood rot.

So, now that the summer is over, this is a good time to check your wood fencing for mildew spots, wood rot or even termite damage.  Unfortunately these kinds of problems seem to get worse before they get better.

When inspecting for damage, check both sides of your wood fencing.  Look for mildew, wood rotting away (easily pulls apart when touched) and termites or termite damage.

Sometimes its best to replace your fencing when the damage is too big. Most will just continue to grow and eat away at your wood.

If you are tired of the wood fencing, you can always switch to vinyl fencing or aluminum fencing.  It lasts longer, looks nice and easily maintained.
