Vinyl is a popular choice across Port St. Lucie, especially in HOA neighborhoods. A 6-foot privacy run costs about $32–$55 per foot installed, a 4-foot picket or ranch-rail front fence about $22–$38 per foot, and it never needs painting. We measure, handle the permit and HOA paperwork, and build it on posts set in concrete.
Why vinyl suits this city
Most of the housing here went up in two waves: the quarter-acre lots laid out across the original city, and the master-planned communities west of I-95 in St. Lucie West and Tradition. Both tend to have HOA or deed rules that favor a clean, uniform fence line, and vinyl gives you that without the yearly maintenance wood asks for. It does not rot in wet sand, termites ignore it, and a garden hose takes off most of the mildew that builds up on the shady side.
It is also a good match for pets and young children. Privacy panels have no gaps at the bottom rail for a small dog to squeeze through, and there are no splinters or exposed nails.
Styles we build
- Privacy (solid tongue-and-groove panels). The usual backyard choice, 6 feet tall, in white, tan, almond, gray or a woodgrain finish.
- Semi-privacy. Spaced boards or a lattice top. Lets a breeze through, which many people appreciate in August, and is often around $30–$50 per foot.
- Picket and ranch rail. 3 to 4 feet, for front yards and corner lots where a tall fence is not allowed near the street.
- Vinyl pool fencing. Built to the Florida pool barrier rules with a self-closing, self-latching gate. See pool fences.
How we install it so it stays straight
Vinyl is only as straight as the posts holding it. We string the line from your survey, dig post holes to a depth that suits a 6-foot sail in sandy soil, and set each post in concrete. On longer runs and around gates we use aluminum-reinforced posts and a steel-insert bottom rail where sag is a risk. On sloped ground we step the panels rather than racking them, so the top line stays level and neat.
Gates get the most attention, because a sagging, dragging gate is the most common way a vinyl fence goes wrong. Every gate post is reinforced and every gate frame is metal-lined.
What decides your price
The main things are the total footage, the height, the style and color (white is the least expensive, textured and dark colors cost more), how many gates, corners and end posts there are, and whether an old fence has to come out first. Taking out and hauling away an existing fence usually adds $3–$8 per foot. The fence price guide has the full table.
A note on wind
A solid 6-foot panel takes the full force of the wind. Vinyl privacy fences rated for high wind exist, and the post spacing, post depth and reinforcement are what make the difference. Ask us which rating the panels in your quote carry.
