Rain is undefeated against wood
On the wet coast, even good cedar is in a losing battle. Moss, rot at grade, blackened boards – Vancouver contractors spend half their careers replacing fences that simply got wet for fifteen years. Vinyl does not absorb water. There is no rot, no moss feeding on the surface, and a pressure wash brings a ten-year-old fence back to day one. For clients tired of the replacement cycle, that is the whole sales pitch.
Cedar prices keep making the case
BC contractors know better than anyone what has happened to cedar pricing. As the gap between cedar and vinyl narrows on material – and vinyl pulls ahead on lifetime cost – more Lower Mainland clients are asking for PVC by name. Carrying a quality vinyl line means you keep those jobs instead of referring them away.
Styles for coastal properties
The Fairmont good-neighbour privacy style suits Vancouver’s tight lots where both sides of the fence are on display. For pool and patio work in the Fraser Valley, the Lakeside and Clearview pool styles will never rot no matter how much water they see – something no wood pool fence can claim.
