Fence Material Options We Install

Aluminum Fencing
Aluminum fencing is a popular choice for homeowners who want a clean, upscale look with minimal maintenance. It offers excellent durability and resists rust, corrosion, cracking, and peeling. Aluminum fencing is ideal for pool enclosures, front yards, and properties where visibility matters. Key benefits include long lifespan, low upkeep, and strong perimeter definition without blocking views. Elite Fence North Carolina installs aluminum systems backed by limited lifetime manufacturer warranties, with coating protection and workmanship coverage on gates. Best for: pool safety, decorative boundaries, long-term durability, and HOA-friendly designs.

Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing is a low-maintenance solution designed for homeowners who want privacy and consistency. It does not warp, rot, peel, or attract pests, and it holds color well over time. Vinyl fences are easy to clean and require no painting or staining. Vinyl fencing is frequently used for backyard privacy fences, side yards, and residential developments where uniform appearance matters. Best suited for homeowners seeking privacy, minimal upkeep, and a clean, modern fence design.

Wood Fencing
Wood fencing remains a popular choice due to its natural appearance and design flexibility. It can be customized in height, spacing, and style, including privacy fencing, picket fences, and decorative layouts. Wood fences can be stained or painted to complement landscaping and home exteriors. While wood requires periodic maintenance, many property owners prefer its classic look and adaptability. Custom wood fencing is ideal for properties with specific design or layout requirements. Best suited for traditional aesthetics, customization, and natural curb appeal.

Chain Link Fencing
hain link fencing is a practical and cost-effective option for both residential and commercial properties. It provides clear boundary definition and security while requiring minimal maintenance. Chain link fencing is commonly used for pet enclosures, side yards, playgrounds, and industrial sites. This fencing type offers long-term reliability and can be enhanced with coatings or privacy features if needed. Best suited for budget-conscious projects, security-focused properties, and functional enclosures.

Split Rail Fencing
Split rail fencing is a classic choice for large lots and rural properties. It defines property boundaries without enclosing the space fully, maintaining open views and a natural landscape feel. Split rail fencing is often used for decorative purposes rather than security. It works well for farms, estates, and neighborhoods that value open aesthetics. Best suited for large properties, decorative boundaries, and rural settings.

Ranch Rail Fencing
Ranch rail fencing offers a clean, structured alternative to split rail fencing. It provides a similar open look with a more uniform design. Ranch rail fences are commonly installed on residential estates, equestrian properties, and large residential lots. This fencing style balances visibility and boundary definition while preserving a spacious appearance. Best suited for estate properties, large yards, and open landscape designs.
