Chain link fencing is a very low-maintenance type of fence. When you have a chain link fence installed, you practically do not need to do anything to it to keep it looking great. The galvanized coating will protect your fence and keep it standing strong for many years. For extra longevity, choose our PVC coated fences. The PVC coating adds an extra layer of durability, which prevents rust and is more visually pleasing. If it does become dirty, you can always hose it down with water, but otherwise, there’s no need for extra care.

Wood fences are known to be one of the most economical types of fencing for Columbia South Carolina. The price of your fence depends on factors like the wood material, the style and, of course, the size your fence needs to be. Of all the types of fencing, wood is usually one of the cheaper options.

When taken care of well, wood fencing can last a very long time and look great doing it, however wood is known to break down either by pests or rot over time and does not usually include a warranty. Alternatively, our company does offer a 10 year labor warranty on all of our wood fencing installations to give you peace of mind that your fence was built properly and securely.
At The Fence Company Columbia, we do ask our customers to be present the morning that we start your fencing job, just in case there are additional instructions you or we need to discuss before breaking ground. After that, you’re free to go about your day and stay or go as you please.
