Residential fences come in a variety of styles to meet homeowner needs, and many homebuyers find them a must-have feature. They often add value to homes depending on the type and intended use; for example, the recoup on wooden privacy fences is 50%. If you are considering fence installation, review the following ways it will add value to your property.

Top 3 Ways Residential Fences Boost Property Value

1. Protection for Children & Pets

Residential fences make it easy to keep an eye on children and pets. They keep dogs in their owners’ yards, so they don’t have to be on leashes to remain safe. They also create a secure playing area for children, which is especially important if you live near a busy road. If you plan to have children and pets or already do, fence installation offers the peace of mind you need. This feature is also particularly attractive to homebuyers who have a family or are planning to start one. 

2. Privacy

Vinyl and wood fences provide optimal privacy whether they surround the entire yard or are used to create backyard sanctuaries. If the house is located on a busy road, the neighbors’ homes are close by, or you prefer the private spaces solid fences offer, many potential buyers will feel the same way.

3. Sound Barrier

Fences are also used as effective sound barriers. This adds to a home’s value if it located in a high-traffic area. They block noise to create a quiet oasis in your yard so you can use it to spend time with your family and entertain guests. If your property features a pool or hot tub, a sound-blocking privacy fence makes each swimming or spa experience even more enjoyable.
