In many cases, installing a fence around your property increases the value of your home. Privacy is something that many potential homeowners look for when searching for their new home. When a fence is already installed, this is a bonus for them. Security and safety are also on the top of any homeowner’s list, making fences an added layer of assurance. Homebuyers with small children and pets often look for homes with fenced-in yards. Depending on the type installed, a new fence can also improve your home’s curb appeal.
