At JTI Fence, we’ve spent years helping homeowners across Whatcom County choose fencing that fits their property, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you’re building a secure space for your pets, adding privacy to your backyard, or enhancing curb appeal, it’s important to understand what today’s options offer and how your choice can affect your budget and your property value.
With more people turning to online research before ever picking up the phone, we’ve fine-tuned our process to meet homeowners where they are. That includes tools like mySalesman on our website, which helps you draw your fence, explore material options, and get a ballpark price before scheduling a site visit. By the time we meet in person, we can focus on what really matters: your property conditions, your timeline, and your vision.
Let’s look at what’s trending in 2025 for Whatcom County residential fences and why vinyl fencing remains one of the top choices in our region.
Why More Homeowners Are Fencing in 2025
Fencing requests in Whatcom County this year are all about two things: privacy and pets. With more families investing in their outdoor spaces, the need for private, secure yards has never been greater. Whether it’s to safely let your dog run or to host friends without the whole neighborhood watching, homeowners are putting up fences that protect what matters most.
While we work with a wide selection of materials, we’ve noticed a shift in preferences this year. Many of our customers are requesting prestained wood fences (we use Wood Defender in cedar tone as our go-to) and upgrades like steel posts and old fence removal as part of their installation.
That said, vinyl fencing is still a standout in Whatcom County, and for good reason.
Why a Whatcom County Vinyl Fence Might Be Right for You
Vinyl fences are the perfect blend of low maintenance, durability, and clean design. If you want a fence that won’t rot, warp, or require constant upkeep, vinyl is a smart choice. It holds up well to Washington weather, and its smooth surface makes it easy to clean; just a hose and some soap will do the trick.
Vinyl also comes in a wide range of styles. Whether you prefer a tall, solid panel for privacy or something more open with decorative details, you can find a vinyl fence that fits your home’s look. We often recommend it for homeowners who want long-term value without maintaining traditional wood.
Plus, vinyl fences provide a safe, secure barrier for families with kids or pets with no splinters, rust, or peeling paint to worry about.
Whatcom County Fence Upgrades Homeowners Love
In 2025, we’re seeing more people invest in fencing upgrades that add strength, value, and convenience. Among our residential customers, the top upgrades this year include:
- Steel Posts (PostMasters): These hidden metal posts are built to last and add serious strength to your wood or vinyl fence.
- Demo & Disposal: We’ll remove your old fence and haul it away, no hassle for you.
- Pre-staining: Adds protection and instant curb appeal to wood fences.
These upgrades help extend the life of your fence and reduce future maintenance costs. We’re happy to walk you through the pros and cons of each option during your consultation.
