Posts set plumb, in concrete
Canyon wind works on a fence the way it works on a roof edge. Posts set to depth in concrete are the difference between a fence that shrugs off a gust front and one that leans by spring.
Vinyl privacy fence installation with straight lines, set posts, and clean sites — the habits we bring to roofs apply just as well to fences, and our sun makes vinyl the smart material.
Our sun destroys wood stain in a season or two and dries pickets until they split. Vinyl doesn't rot, doesn't feed termites, and doesn't ask for a re-stain every other summer — which is why it's replaced wood as the Grand Valley's default. The photos here are from a recent Grand Valley install.
Wood still wins on looks for some homes, and we'll tell you honestly if yours is one of them.

Valley yards are rarely flat. We step or rack the panels to follow the grade cleanly, so the top line reads straight from the street and the gaps stay even at the bottom.
Spoils hauled, concrete cleaned up, old fencing gone if we removed one. Same standard as our roof sites: you'd never know we were there, except for the fence.
A privacy fence gets looked at; the gate gets used. Every fence we build hangs its gates on posts set for the job — because a gate that sags, drags, or won't latch turns a good fence into a daily annoyance.
Reinforced gate posts, hardware rated for our wind, and a latch that still lines up next summer — the details are small, which is exactly why most fences get them wrong.
From our own jobs around the Valley — vinyl privacy fence runs set straight and finished clean.
For most yards, yes. Our sun destroys wood stain in a season or two and dries pickets until they split, while vinyl shrugs it off. Wood still wins on looks for some homes — we'll give you an honest read for yours.
No. Fencing stands on its own — plenty of our fence work has nothing to do with a roof. If you do have both on the list, bundling them means one crew and one schedule.
Installed right, yes. Wind failures almost always trace to shallow posts or skipped concrete, not the material. That's exactly the corner we don't cut — see the install standards above.
Yes — same as roofs. We measure the run, talk through heights and styles, and give you a written estimate with no obligation.
Full-privacy panels are the most common ask, with shorter and semi-private styles available for front yards and pet runs. We'll show you the options at the estimate and give an honest read on what fits your yard and neighborhood.
Most HOAs accept vinyl readily — it's the tidy, low-maintenance option covenants tend to like. Check your covenants for height and color rules, and we'll provide the specs and drawings your application needs.
Every fence needs at least one, and it's the part you'll use daily — so gate posts get set for the load, hardware is rated for our wind, and the latch still lines up after a season of use. Tell us how you use the yard and we'll place gates where they earn their keep.
For most yards here, a six-foot vinyl privacy fence — our sun destroys wood finishes in a couple of seasons, and vinyl shrugs off the UV without staining or painting. The honest exception: if you want the warmth of real wood and don't mind maintaining it, wood is a fine fence — it's just not a low-maintenance one in this climate.
Plumb, in concrete, at a depth matched to our soil and wind — because every fence that leans started with a post that wasn't set right. It's the least visible part of the job and the one that decides whether the fence is still straight in ten years.
