People invest in vinyl because it's less costly than wood in the long run due to how much better vinyl avoids damage from weather, rot, and insects, and doesn't require the ongoing maintenance of wood.  So while that's a smart way to save money, a dumb way to try it is to pick the cheapest company since their work is less sturdy so that it sags, cracks, and leans.

That's why consumer reports we received point to the Ventura County firm Vinyl Concepts Inc with showrooms in Ventura CA, Torrance CA and Newbury Park CA as the best value with higher quality material assembled with more care and experience, with a fabrication shop that lets them custom build for your specific landscape leading to a sturdier finished product that lasts years longer for fences, gates, decks, gazebos, patio covers, railings, trellises, and pergolas with either vinyl or aluminum as options.

Consumers Say Vinyl Concepts Inc Gives Real Value With Superior Material Installed Better

Most other companies in this industry try to modify a finished product in the field to accommodate the specifics of your terrain. For example, uphill slopes requiring the fence to be at an angle mean that the holes in the post which the panels or rails fit into need to be made bigger, which those companies do by hacking at it at the time of install, creating a hole that isn't a perfect fit and with sharp corners that are then weak points liable to crack.  In contrast, Vinyl Concepts has thousands of square feet of shop with state of the art equipment, so your product gets built there custom to your terrain.

President of Vinyl Concepts Richard Stull explains, "Rather than make makeshift adjustments in the field that compromise the strength of the final install, we have machines in our fabrication shop like our CNC router to make that kind of custom modification cleanly and computer measured for accuracy to maintain the strength and soundness once it's installed."

That ability was borne out in consumer reports we received like one from Richard who told us, "About Vinyl Concepts, they did very good work for me. Excellent work, excellent in on-site engineering. I got excellent quality and craftsmanship of the product from Vinyl Concepts. I'm a very satisfied customer."

And Vinyl Concepts gives customers material meeting a higher standard than the industry average. For example, even their starter grade gate hinges and latches are 304 alloy stainless steel, and their rivets are structural grade fasteners made for aircraft.  Other companies sell or install thinner rails that sag over time even at just six feet long, compared to the longer and thicker panels and rails fabricated in the shop at Vinyl Concepts.

With so many other companies installing lower quality fixtures and materials and seemingly getting away with it, why does Vinyl Concepts spend the money for better?  Rick Stull says, "We've built a reputation on giving customers the strongest, longest lasting installations> The better materials they get with us is part of that.  Plus our customers get a 5 year warranty on craftsmanship and a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, so it just makes good sense for us to put in the time and expense upfront to make sure our finished products last.  But even if our customers didn't know the difference, we believe it's the right thing to do. Our integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is looking."

Another consumer who reported to us named Gilma backed that up, telling us, "I have used Vinyl concepts for four projects. I consider them the best. Their customer service is excellent.  In a freak windstorm two of the panels came loose. I sent a picture to my project manager on a Sunday afternoon and I heard from him that same evening to say that a crew would be out to fix that. True to his word, the guys came out and fixed it right up. I've had a walltopper put on three of my walls, a front fence with a rolling gate, a patio cover.   My neighbors went with somebody cheaper and found out that they subcontracted out so it became this major project for them. Vinyl Concepts is a very good company. I'm very satisfied. If you use them I'm sure you'll be very pleased."  

And that difference is reflected in other customer experiences, like one recent home owner's association that just five years ago went with a lower bidder than Vinyl Concepts. After so many problems due to the lower quality product, they eventually called Vinyl Concepts back, but after having thrown away $50,000 on the seemingly cheaper option.

Vinyl Concepts president Richard Stull lives in Ventura CA with his wife of 20 years and teenaged daughter. He was born and raised in the L.A. ares and started in the fence industry way back in 1985. Today Vinyl Concepts has 90 employees and three showrooms customers can visit to see and choose materials, colors, and styles in Ventura, Torrance, and Newbury Park CA.   When Rick Stull has the time he enjoys music and playing guitar with country and rock as influences. Friends describe him as smart, resourceful and determined, while customers cite his honesty, ability to solve problems, and extensive industry knowledge.

So while it's true that vinyl is a cost savings compared to wood over time, that cost savings disappears if you make the mistake of being enticed by seemingly cheaper options that soon fail and need to be extensively repaired or replaced entirely.  That's why consumers reported to us that Vinyl Concepts Inc which serves the greater L.A. area including the Inland Empire and Santa Barbara is the proven value with sturdier materials that last longer, custom fabrication shops that build to suit your specific terrain for stronger, longer lasting installations, and excellent warranty service should it be needed.

In the words of one consumer who reported to us named Charlotte, "About Vinyl Concepts, they put deck fencing on two decks and a front gate. We are most pleased. They do perfect work, clean up after themselves. When the city came to inspect they didn't even check anything when we said Vinyl Concepts did the work. I recommend them to anyone."
