Thinking about a porch makeover?

There are five vinyl makeover products which are easy to install and maintenance free:

1.  Vinyl Post Wraps are relatively inexpensive vinyl material designed to cover 4 X 4 inch porch posts where the porch has an existing roof. By simply wrapping the existing support beams rather than replacing them, there is no need to remove the roof support posts which would also normally require installing a temporary roof support during construction.

2. Vinyl Cladding is thicker and more substantial than vinyl post wrap but also a little more costly. It is designed to cover 4 X 4 inch, 6 X 6 inch or 8 X 8 inch posts while keeping the major porch or deck structure in place. Like vinyl post wraps, cladding saves money because there is no need to buy new lumber or dispose of any old treated lumber as with a full porch or deck replacement.

3.  Vinyl Post Sleeves are designed to slide over new posts prior to installation. To build a new porch or create a new addition to an existing porch or deck, use vinyl post sleeves for the new posts and then vinyl post wraps or vinyl post cladding to cover old sections of the existing porch or deck to match. The whole project will look completely unified and new.

4. Versatax Trim Board is designed to install over existing sound wood deck boards, concrete decks, docks and patios. Over time, deck boards can begin to look shabby no matter how many treatments are applied. The OnDeck™ covers eliminate splinters and they never need painted or stained. Homeowners can expect to install OnDeck™ for about 20% of the cost of replacing the boards.

5. Vinyl Railing kits: There are many matching styles of vinyl railings, pickets and rail posts available to give a porch or deck project a new style and professional look. Railing kits consist of the hand rail, pickets and hardware to mount the railing. Additional rail posts may also be needed to attach the end of the hand rail where there are no existing porch columns like at the bottom of a stair case. Vinyl post caps fit on top of each railing post to give the post a finished look. The caps come in interesting styles and can even come as solar post cap lights. All of these products are maintenance free so they eliminate bi-annual painting or staining projects making these five makeover products a great value now and in the future. A full selection of vinyl post wraps, vinyl cladding, vinyl post sleeves, and vinyl railing kits can be found at M.C. fence co.
