The team at Lone Star Fence and Construction has helped to create fences for dozens of Houston churches, daycares, and other businesses around the region. You’d probably recognize quite a few of our customers, were we to name them off for you.

Maybe you’ve even recognized a few while scrolling around our gallery.

Meanwhile, you’re thinking about adding a fence to your business lot, and are wondering whether the benefits will outweigh the initial investment. Here are four major benefits to consider. 

#1) Increased Security and Decreased Liability

No business can afford to lose inventory to thieves. Nobody wants to close business for the day because of vandals. And nobody wants to find themselves on the wrong end of a personal injury lawsuit launched by a person who got hurt by a criminal operating on the property. This is especially true if you’re a business that deals with the safety and security of pets or children. 

The greater the value of your inventory and business assets, the more you need to protect them. Every step you take to harden your target is a good one, including lighting, security systems, fences, and automatic gates like the ones we install along with many of our custom commercial fences. 

#2) Increased Credibility 

Want customers to take your business just a little more seriously? An attractive fence can make all the difference, lending your location an air of gravitas that would otherwise be missing.

If you’re purporting to protect something customers care about or are trying to provide a safe environment, the little psychological nudge a fence can bring may make a big difference when your prospects decide which company they want to go with. 

#3) Increased Property Values

If you own the property you’re doing business out of, then you’ll be happy to know that adding a fence increases the value of that property. 

If you ever want to sell either the property itself or the business, the fence will be part of that valuation, and may even bring a modest return on investment depending on the type of fence you choose and when the sale happens. 

#4) Reduced Insurance Premiums 

Want to lower your property insurance premiums? A fence can help you lower your property insurance premiums by several percentage points. It’s well known that adding a fence to a business helps to reduce risk, which translates to plenty of savings in your monthly overhead. 

Of course, to realize these benefits you’ll need to contact your insurance agent to make sure the type of fence you’re ordering will translate into benefits for your policy. You’ll also need to keep your fence in excellent repair.
