Types of Fences We Install

Wood Fencing

Wood remains a popular choice for Big Island properties, offering natural beauty and privacy. This material can be treated to resist insects and moisture. Wood fencing can be stained or painted to match your home’s style. Our wood fence installations include picket, privacy, and split rail designs.

Vinyl Fencing

Vinyl offers a low-maintenance option for fences on the Big Island. This durable material resists fading, warping, and insect damage. Vinyl fences come in various colors and styles, providing a clean and consistent look for your property, often chosen for privacy or decorative purposes.

Chain Link Fencing

Chain link provides a practical and cost-effective solution for properties needing secure containment without blocking views. It is durable, requires minimal maintenance, and is suitable for pet enclosures, backyard boundaries, and security. We offer galvanized and vinyl-coated options.

Ornamental Fencing (Aluminum/Steel)

For property owners seeking elegance and security, ornamental fences in aluminum or steel offer a refined appearance. These fences add curb appeal and can be designed with decorative elements. They are strong, resistant to rust (especially aluminum), and provide clear property delineation.

Composite Fencing

Composite materials offer a wood appearance with less maintenance, making them an attractive alternative for fences. These engineered products combine wood fibers with polymer binders, creating fence materials that resist fading, warping, and insect damage while keeping a natural look.

Privacy Fences

Designed to block views into your property, privacy fences offer seclusion and create a personal space. They are often built from wood, vinyl, or composite materials and can feature solid panels or tight spacing between pickets.

Security Fences

Security fences are built for strength and deterrence. They often feature taller heights, specific materials like steel or heavy-gauge chain link, and can include additional features like barbed wire or anti-climb designs to protect commercial or high-security properties.

Benefits of Professional Fence Installation

Enhanced Property Value

Professional fence installation significantly increases property values while improving curb appeal and marketability. Quality fencing creates defined outdoor spaces that appear larger and more organized. Potential buyers recognize the investment value of professionally installed fencing, particularly when using premium materials and expert craftsmanship.

Improved Security and Privacy

A well-built fence adds a layer of security, discouraging unauthorized entry and helping to keep your home or business safe. Privacy fences, in particular, create secluded outdoor living areas, reducing visibility from outside and providing a personal retreat.

Child and Pet Safety

A securely installed fence helps keep children and pets safely contained within your yard, preventing them from wandering off or encountering dangers outside the property. This provides peace of mind for property owners with active families and animals.

Noise Reduction

Certain types of fences, especially solid privacy fences, can help reduce noise from outside sources, creating a more peaceful and quiet environment in your yard. This is particularly helpful for properties near busy roads or commercial areas.

Defining Property Boundaries

A fence marks your property lines, helping to avoid disputes with neighbors and creating a distinct separation for your outdoor spaces. It establishes clear limits for your garden, lawn, and recreational areas.

Aesthetic Enhancement

Fences come in various styles, materials, and colors, allowing property owners to select an option that complements their home’s architecture and landscape. A well-designed fence adds to the beauty and character of your property.

Fence Maintenance Requirements

Annual Inspection Schedule

Big Island’s climate calls for proactive fence maintenance to maximize lifespan and appearance. Annual inspections identify potential issues before they become costly problems. Our maintenance checklist includes examining post stability, checking for loose boards or panels, evaluating hardware condition, and assessing finish deterioration or rust.

Spring Maintenance Tasks:

Cleaning to remove debris, mildew, or dirt buildup.
Inspection of post foundations and stability.
Tightening loose fasteners, boards, or connections.
Trimming vegetation that contacts fence surfaces to prevent moisture retention and damage.

Fall Preparation:

Application of protective stains, sealers, or rust inhibitors as appropriate for the material.
Repair of any minor damage from summer weather or general wear.
Cleaning and lubricating gate hardware for smooth operation.
Preparation for winter rainfall and stronger winds.

Climate-Specific Care

Hawaiian conditions present unique maintenance challenges, including salt air corrosion (for metal components), UV exposure, and high humidity. Our maintenance programs address these factors with specialized treatments and protective measures. Coastal properties, for example, may need more frequent attention due to salt air effects on materials and hardware.

Professional Maintenance Services

Big Island Fence & Gate offers comprehensive maintenance programs that handle all aspects of fence care. Our services include pressure washing, staining, minor repairs, and hardware replacement. Regular professional maintenance extends fence life significantly while maintaining warranty coverage.
