Good Fences Make Good Neighbors: The Benefits of Fence Installation

The saying “good fences make good neighbors” exists for a reason. Clearly defined boundaries help create privacy, safety, and mutual respect—while also improving the look and value of your property.

Professional fence installation offers far more than just separation. At Lafferty Aluminum and Screening, we provide expert fencing solutions that enhance security, functionality, and curb appeal for homeowners across Florida.

Why Fence Installation Is a Smart Investment

A well-installed fence improves everyday living while offering long-term value. Whether your goal is privacy, safety, or aesthetics, fencing delivers multiple benefits.

Enhanced Privacy & Peace of Mind

Privacy From Neighbors & Streets

A properly designed fence shields your yard from outside visibility, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space comfortably—whether relaxing, entertaining, or spending time with family.

Privacy fencing is especially valuable for patios, pools, and backyard living areas.

Reduced Noise

Fences help reduce noise from nearby streets, neighbors, or surrounding activity, creating a quieter and more enjoyable environment.

Safety & Security for Your Home

Child & Pet Safety

Fence installation creates a controlled outdoor space where children and pets can play safely without wandering into streets or neighboring properties.

Our residential fencing services are designed with safety as a top priority.

Protection From Wildlife

In areas with wildlife, fencing helps prevent animals from entering your yard, protecting landscaping and outdoor features.

Increased Home Security

Fences act as a visible deterrent to intruders and trespassers. A secured perimeter makes your home less attractive to theft or vandalism.

Increase Property Value & Curb Appeal

Boost Home Value

A professionally installed fence can increase resale value by enhancing security, privacy, and outdoor usability—features buyers actively seek.

Enhance Curb Appeal

Fences are available in a variety of materials and styles that complement your home’s architecture and landscaping, creating a polished, well-maintained appearance.
