Orlando Custom Fencing Education Center

Imagine a perfect American suburban neighborhood in the 1960s. Kids run and play in the yard. A Pontiac GTO drives by a bit too fast. A dog barks as it chases a squirrel. A church bell rings on Sunday morning. And what else can be seen in this neighborhood? – a white picket fence!

The picket fence is a classic type of fence that has been popular in America since the 17th century and is still vastly popular today. This famous style of fencing can be distinguished from other styles because it has short, evenly spaced vertical boards (called pickets) with pointed tops. Usually a picket fence is made of wood, or a plastic material that resembles wood, and painted white. This is where we get the term “white picket fence”.

The white picket fence has become an icon in America. It is the symbol of the ideal middle-class suburban life, which includes having a nice house, a loving family, a dog, and a comfortable standard of living. This comes from the fact that homes in quiet, middle-class neighborhoods often have a garden, which is usually bordered by a picket fence. Many people associate the white picket fence with property ownership and the embodiment of the “American dream”.

The picket fence is more than just a way to divide land; it has become an icon in American culture.

At Paramount Fencing our number one goal is to EDUCATE our customer and assist them in making a well informed decision.

“Keeping up with the Joneses” is a popular American expression that originated in 1913 when a comic strip, “Keep Up With The Joneses” was published in the New York Globe. The strip, created by cartoonist Arthur R. “Pop” Momand, ran in American newspapers for almost thirty years and was adapted into several books, films, and musicals. In the comic strip, the “Joneses” were the neighbors of the strip’s main characters. The “Joneses” were spoken of and referred to, but never actually seen in the comic strip.

Therefore, the phrase “keeping up with the Joneses” became a common phrase which earned the meaning: striving to match your neighbor in spending and social standing. Examples of this include competing with your peers to buy the fastest car, biggest flat-screen TV, newest phone, most expensive home, or even the nicest looking fence!

Here at Paramount Fencing, we encourage you not to play “keep up with the Joneses”, but to become the “Joneses” instead. Why be like everyone else? Be different! Be the house with the custom built fence that your neighbors are jealous of. Orlando custom fencing is a great way to compliment the architecture of your Orlando home and bring your landscaping to life.  Give us a call and let the power of Paramount start creating for you.

Customer Service is often a quality that can make or break a company.  That’s why it is so important to Paramount Fencing to routinely provide customer service.  Without a solid reputation for outstanding performance, a company really doesn’t have too much else to gain the attention of potential clients.  Here are some other ways fencing companies earn the trust and respect of their community:

• The fencing company doesn’t try to sell you or pressure you into going with them.  They just state the facts, and their experience does the rest.
• Giving the people what they want! That means wood, aluminum, PVC, arbors, customizable….you name it.  Customer service not only means being courteous and kind during service-it means you have exactly the product they’re looking for.
• A good Orlando fencing company will educate their clients on every step of the fencing product.  That means customers can understand what the company is doing at all times and it isn’t a complete mystery.
• Can’t gauge customer service?  If a company garners 90% of their business from repeat customers and customer referrals, that is certainly going to be a good sign.

Paramount Fencing truly cares about the fencing needs of customers.  If you have any more questions about if this is a good fit for your project, contact us today.  Call (407)341-2720.

Building a fence for a client is both a product and a service.  The product itself is the finished, gorgeous, well-constructed fence.  The service is making it smooth and effortless for the customer.  And being that it is a service, that means it requires the utmost customer service.  Just because you and your crew can build a great fence doesn’t mean you can be intrusive, rude, slow, or destructive to personal property.  Here are some ways a good an Orlando fencing company can provide exceptional customer service while engaged in a project:

• The job doesn’t end when the fence is completed.  A good fencing company will still consult/follow up with clients after the fence construction to make sure it’s still holding up fine, and to suggest ways to keep it up.
• The fencing company will offer personal, professional advice and options to obtain a better result for the fence.  These suggestions might be the ones that elevate your end result satisfaction.
• Will do things on your behalf (tell neighbors about the project, obtain and submit a permit, pick up paperwork)
• Keep you constantly updated on the progress of your fence.

These are just some ways excellent customer service matters for your next fence.  We will be discusses more ways it should matter to you next week.

We have all sorts of great fencing for light commercial, residential, commercial, you name it.  We only provide the best materials for these projects, but if we had a specialized product we’d be very pleased with, it would definitely be our Alumi-Guard Advantage for light commercial.  It is manufactured right here in Florida and is the industry leader in quality for aluminum fencing and rail products.  It has an OUTSTANDING reputation, and tends to be on the forefront of innovation, craftsmanship, and excellent customer service.

What makes this product so good?  Here is an excerpt from their product description:

“Alumi-Guard™ Aluminum products are constructed with heavy wall aluminum extrusions and are finished in Armor-Guard™ TGIC polyester powder coating. Tested in Florida’s hot, humid, high salt concentrated environment, our finish surpasses the 4000-hour salt spray test - which is more than double what the AAMA mandates! Because Armor-Guard™ powder coating is twice as thick and twice as hard as baked on enamel finishes, it is much more durable and will look attractive now and for a very long time. Alumi-Guard™offers a lifetime limited warranty on the finish and workmanship of all its materials.

Paramount Fencing offers these products for your fencing needs.  If you have any more questions about if this is a good fit for your project, contact us today.  Call (407)341-2720.

Construction trends change, and often times for the better.  Asbestos was once thought to be a breakthrough in home insulation, but the repercussions were detrimental.  The same has come into play for fencing, and if you aren’t knowledgeable about what’s going into your fence, you might not be getting the best possible product.

In 2003, the EPA banned the use of Cromate Copper Arsenate (ACC) and replaced it with Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) for use of wood preservation.  Cromate Copper Arsenate declined in usage because of the fact that arsenic-containing timber could pose health hazards.

Some people skimp out by using nails and staples that can’t withstand the elements.  Quality construction materials last up to ten times longer than their cheap counterparts.

These are only a few, but it takes the trust and credible reputation of a great fencing company to accomplish something you’ll still be pleased with a decade from now.  For a reliable fencing company in Orlando that won’t let you down, contact Paramount Fencing today at 407-341-2720.

For a reputable and respectable fencing company in Orlando, there is nothing more gratifying than constructing a fence for a customer that they absolutely love.  There’s no way this can be accomplished unless the right materials are used, communication between parties is clear, and professionalism is maintained during the entire project.  Here are more examples of what the right professional company will do:

• Pictures of neighbors properties are taken before construction begins to avoid any liability for damage accusations.
• Contact neighbors to find out of they would like to split the cost of particular fences.
• Complete communication through the entire process.
• Educate you thoroughly of the different options you have.
• Will work with you to assess any problems that might arise in the ground you’re working on, such as sprinkler heads or pump lines.

Fencing is not a job for amateurs. It’s not something you want to tinker around with and watch hundreds of YouTube videos to try and figure out. It takes time, experience, and that right amount of professionalism. Now, there are a lot of fencing companies out there that can probably do a good job, and possibly give you the fence you’re looking for. But what makes a fencing company really stand out is when they bring a professional dynamic to your home and your property. This includes, but isn’t limited to:

• Writing your neighbors ahead of time to let them knowing there’ s going to be a fencing project going on.
• Starting a project ON TIME and finishing on time, sometimes even before projections.
• Having crew members be available to answer questions when needed.
• Crew members are courteous and always clean up after themselves.
• Obtaining permits and submit forms to the Home Owners Association on your behalf.
• Telling you exactly what to expect and giving you an invoice that accurately outlines how the cost of the project was decided.

Though it seems like this is enough to represent a professional fencing company, it really takes a lot to go “above and beyond”.
We will learn more about how a fencing company in Orlando should deserve your business.

Every home has different fencing needs. Depending upon the outdoor layout of your house, maybe the elegant design of the “Majestic Rings Gate” (pictured below) would be the perfect fencing touch.

The aluminum fence comes in 6 standard colors - Light Bronze, Florida Bronze, White, Black, Green, and Beige. The material is great because it is less expensive than wrought iron and requires less maintenance in the long run. Aluminum is also resistant to corrosion from soil, water, and lawn chemicals!

PVC is great.  It doesn’t crack, chip, peel or rot.  It stands up very well in the harsh Florida weather, especially during heat spells and times of extreme moisture.  It can withstand great wind speeds, and is four times more flexible than wood while still being five times stronger.  These are the attributes for a well-made, solidly-constructed PVC fence. But did you know there are actually four types of vinyl fences?

The four kinds are plastic, refurbish, monoextruded, and double extruded.  We recommend double extruded to really get the results and longevity you want for your fence.  The reasons the others don’t compare are as follows:

• Plastic-Brittle and only lasts an average of 5 years.  Not exactly the best life span.
• Refurbish-Last roughly 10 years, but is hollow and is made from recycled plastic and vinyl.
• Monoextruded-The thickness is thin, and its coat wars off within 3-5 years, exposing it to unpleasant aesthetics.

Going vinyl for your fencing is a smart decision, but not every fencing company in Central Florida is going to give you the product you’re looking for.  We will ensure your satisfaction by only using the best available PVC. Contact us today at Paramount Fencing in Orlando by calling 407-341-2720.
