Fence lifespan depends on material and maintenance:
Vinyl: 35+ years
Aluminum: 25–40 years
Chain-link: 20–30 years
Cedar/Wood: 15–30 years with proper sealing
Choosing the right material for your climate plays a major role in durability.
Many cities require a permit for fences over a certain height, near sidewalks, or along property lines. Even if a permit isn’t required, the fence must follow local zoning codes. Always confirm local regulations or HOA restrictions before starting your project.
Consider your priorities:
Privacy: Wood or vinyl
Low maintenance: Vinyl or aluminum
Affordability: Chain-link or basic wood
Decorative style: Aluminum or ornamental steel
Climate, budget, and your desired lifespan will help determine the best material for your property.
The most common residential garage doors include sectional doors, which open vertically and fold into the ceiling; roll-up doors, which coil into a compact roll above the opening; side-hinged doors, which swing outward like traditional barn doors; and tilt-up (canopy) doors, which lift as a single solid panel. Sectional doors are the most widely used in homes today.
Garage door prices vary based on size, material, insulation, and design.
Basic steel doors: $400–$1,000
Insulated or mid-range wood/fiberglass doors: $1,200–$2,500
Custom or premium doors: $4,000+
Professional installation typically adds $200–$500 to the total cost.
Common garage door materials include:
Steel: Durable, low maintenance, often insulated
Wood: Beautiful and customizable, but requires regular care
Aluminum: Lightweight and rust-resistant, but more prone to dents
Fiberglass/Vinyl: Resistant to rot and insects, ideal for harsh climates
The best choice depends on your budget, design goals, and local weather conditions.
