Sherman Vinyl Fence Installation

Your Weekends Back, Your Property Protected

You’re tired of dealing with fence maintenance every spring. Scraping, staining, replacing boards that couldn’t handle another Connecticut winter. Your old fence looks rough, and you’re spending more time fixing it than enjoying your yard.

Vinyl fencing changes that completely. It’s built to handle whatever Connecticut throws at it – from ice storms to summer heat – without cracking, warping, or fading. You get a fence that stays looking new for decades, not years.

The best part? Once it’s installed, you’re done. No annual staining. No replacing rotted sections. Just a clean, attractive fence that defines your property and gives you the privacy you want.

Sherman Fencing Company

17 Years of Sherman Fence Projects

We’ve been installing and repairing fences in Sherman since 2007. We’ve worked on properties throughout the area – from the hills near Candlewood Lake to the rural roads off Route 39.

Sherman’s unique challenges don’t surprise us. The rocky soil, the sloped lots, the way winter weather hits this part of Fairfield County. We’ve learned how to work with what Sherman gives us, and our installations reflect that experience.

You’ve probably seen our work around town. We handle both residential and commercial projects, and we take the same care with a backyard privacy fence as we do with a commercial installation.

Vinyl Fence Installation Process

Straightforward Installation, Professional Results

We start with a site visit to assess your property and discuss exactly what you need. Every lot in Sherman is different, and we want to understand your specific situation before we recommend anything.

Next, we handle the permits and property line verification. Connecticut has specific regulations about fence height and placement, and we make sure everything is done correctly from the start.

Installation typically takes one to two days, depending on the project size. We dig post holes below the frost line – usually 30 to 36 inches deep in this area – and set everything in concrete. Each post is level and properly spaced, and we clean up completely when we’re finished.

Connecticut Vinyl Fencing Options

Built for Connecticut, Designed for You

Our vinyl fencing is specifically chosen for Connecticut’s climate. The material includes UV inhibitors that prevent yellowing and brittleness under the summer sun, and it’s flexible enough to handle the freeze-thaw cycles that are so hard on other fencing materials.

We offer privacy fencing, picket styles, and semi-privacy options in white, tan, and gray. Heights range from 4 feet to 6 feet, depending on your needs and local regulations. All materials come with manufacturer warranties, and our installation work is guaranteed.

Sherman properties often have unique challenges – slopes, rocky soil, or existing landscaping that needs to be worked around. We’ve developed techniques over 17 years that let us install quality fencing even in difficult conditions. The result is a fence that looks great and performs well, regardless of what your property throws at us.

How long does vinyl fencing last in Connecticut weather?

Vinyl fencing can last 30 years or more in Connecticut’s climate when properly installed. The material is designed to handle our freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and heavy precipitation without cracking, warping, or fading. Unlike wood fencing that needs regular maintenance to survive Connecticut winters, vinyl requires virtually no upkeep. The UV inhibitors in the material prevent sun damage, and the non-porous surface won’t absorb moisture that could cause problems during freezing weather. We’ve seen vinyl fences we installed 15+ years ago that still look new. That’s the kind of long-term performance you can expect when you choose quality materials and professional installation.

What's the cost difference between vinyl and wood fencing?

Vinyl fencing typically costs more upfront than wood – usually $25 to $45 per linear foot installed versus $15 to $25 for wood. However, vinyl becomes more cost-effective over time because it eliminates ongoing maintenance expenses. Wood fencing requires staining or painting every 2-3 years, plus regular repairs for rotted or damaged boards. These costs add up quickly – often $500 to $1,500 every few years for a typical residential fence. Vinyl fencing eliminates these ongoing costs completely. Once installed, the only maintenance is occasional cleaning with soap and water. Over a 20-year period, vinyl often costs less than wood when you factor in maintenance and replacement expenses.

Can vinyl fencing be installed on sloped properties?

Yes, vinyl fencing works well on sloped properties, which is important in Sherman where many lots have significant grade changes. We use a “stepping” or “racking” method that allows the fence to follow the natural contour of your land. For moderate slopes, we can rack the fence panels to follow the grade smoothly. For steeper slopes, we step the fence in sections, maintaining level panels while adjusting the height at each post location. Sherman’s terrain requires experience to handle properly. We’ve installed fencing on everything from gentle slopes to steep hillsides, and we know how to make the installation look natural while maintaining structural integrity.

Do I need a permit for vinyl fence installation in Sherman?

Most residential vinyl fence installations in Sherman require a building permit, especially for fences over 4 feet tall. Connecticut regulations generally limit residential fencing to 6 feet without special permits, and there are specific setback requirements from property lines. We handle the permit process for you, including submitting plans and ensuring compliance with local regulations. This includes verifying property lines, checking for utility lines, and making sure the fence design meets Sherman’s requirements. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, and we don’t start installation until all approvals are in place. This protects you from potential issues and ensures your fence installation is completely legal and compliant.

How do I maintain vinyl fencing?

Vinyl fencing requires minimal maintenance – just occasional cleaning with soap and water. For most Sherman properties, natural rainfall handles much of the cleaning, especially for white or light-colored fencing. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pressure washers on high settings, which can damage the surface. Most homeowners find that cleaning once or twice a year is sufficient. If you notice any loose posts or damaged sections, address them promptly. While vinyl is very durable, ground movement from freeze-thaw cycles can occasionally affect post stability. We provide guidance on what to watch for and handle any warranty issues that might arise.

What vinyl fencing styles work best for Sherman properties?

Privacy fencing is the most popular choice in Sherman, providing both security and wind protection. The 6-foot height offers good privacy while staying within local regulations, and the solid panels help block wind that can be strong in this area. Semi-privacy styles work well for front yards or areas where you want some visibility while maintaining definition. Picket fencing is popular for decorative applications, though it provides less privacy and wind protection. We recommend considering your specific needs – privacy, wind protection, pet containment, or purely decorative. Sherman’s rural setting often means neighbors aren’t close, so privacy fencing is frequently chosen more for wind protection and property definition than privacy from neighbors.
