Paramount Fence, a locally owned Illinois company with over 100 years of combined experience, offers durable and easy-care fence materials that minimize upkeep. Here’s a look at the best low-maintenance options and why they’re a smart investment.

1. PVC/Vinyl Fencing – The Ultimate Low-Maintenance Option

PVC/Vinyl fencing is a popular choice for those seeking a durable and easy-care fence. This material requires minimal upkeep, as it resists fading, decay, and damage from Illinois weather.

• Durability – PVC/Vinyl fences can last 25-35 years, offering long-lasting performance without needing paint or sealant.
• Simple Cleaning – A quick wash with soap and water keeps vinyl looking new, with no need for additional treatments.

2. Aluminum Fencing – Elegant and Resilient

Aluminum fencing offers an attractive, modern look with minimal maintenance. While not suited for heavy-impact areas, aluminum fencing provides an easy-care solution for residential and commercial properties seeking a sleek appearance.

• Rust Resistance – Aluminum fences don’t rust, so they maintain their appearance with little intervention.
• Weather-Resilient – This material holds up well against Illinois’ varied climate, making it an ideal choice for lasting value.

3. Chain Link Fencing – Practical and Easy to Maintain

Chain link fencing is both practical and relatively low-maintenance, providing a functional boundary with minimal upkeep. Ideal for both residential and commercial properties, chain link fences are easy to install and durable.

• Affordable and Long-Lasting – With a lifespan of 25-35 years, chain link fencing is a cost-effective choice that performs well for a variety of uses.
• Minimal Upkeep – A periodic wash with water keeps the fence clean and ready for the long haul.

4. Wood Fencing – Low Maintenance with Proper Materials

For those who prefer the classic look of wood, choosing high-quality, durable materials like western red cedar can help reduce maintenance needs. Paramount Fence’s wood fences are built to withstand the elements and age well with basic upkeep.

• Western Red Cedar – Compared to pre-pandemic pricing, western red cedar is a bit more costly but offers natural resistance to decay, making it a worthwhile choice.
• Minimal Treatments Required – Western red cedar holds up well without additional staining or sealing, giving you the charm of wood with minimal work.
