Will adding a fence increase the value of a home in New Hartford?

Installing a fence on your property can increase the value of a New Hartford home. It depends on several factors: the value of your home, the size of the property, the quality of the fence, and trends in your neighborhood. The bottom line is, any fence from Poly Enterprises is going to increase your home value.

There are several factors to consider when putting up a fence in the town of New Hartford, each of which changes the fluctuation in value you’ll see if and when a fence is installed. If a large percentag eof homes in your neighborhood have fences, you should consider having one installed. This brings the property “features” in line with other, similar homes. 

Take note of the fencing styles that are most popular in your neighborhood. You’ll want to have fencing installed that is at least as high in quality as the fencing on surrounding properties. For example, if most people have custom made northern white cedar fences you’re not going to increase the value of your home by slapping in a basic chain length fence or rustic horse fence. Having low-quality fencing in comparison to the properties around you could be an eye-sore and even lower the value of your property.

Luckily, Poly Enterprises never installs a low-quality fence. You can see examples of our New Hartford fencing projects on our projects page. This can provide samples of the work that can be done. Please, feel free to compare our fencing styles to what your neighborhood already features.
