For being a stationary structure, a privacy fence sure does provide some great benefits to the home it belongs to. Sure, it can keep the dog from running away and mark your property lines, but the perks go deeper than that. A privacy fence installation provides comfort, security, peace of mind, and so much more. In this blog, we’re going to explore five prominent benefits of an aluminum, vinyl, or wood privacy fence and discover why it’s such a beneficial addition to your home.

Enhanced Privacy

This is the obvious one—it’s in the name, after all. A privacy fence offers privacy! Why not extend the privacy you enjoy within the walls of your house and apply it to your property? Enjoying the outdoors shouldn’t have to mean you’re exposed to the world. You deserve a secluded retreat when you’re throwing the football, having a barbecue, or just taking in the fresh air. And in the midst of summer, a fenced-in backyard is the perfect place to lay out and catch some rays without feeling like everyone is looking at you! You’re not just building a fence. You’re creating a personalized space that affords you relaxation and leisure.

Improved Security

A privacy fence doesn’t just deter prying eyes—it makes your home safer. If there’s a potential intruder casing homes, which one are they more likely to target? The one with the tall fence and locked gate or the one with an open yard they can easily stroll onto?

Moreover, security is about more than just keeping people out. Sometimes it’s necessary to keep people in—pets and small children in particular. When your property has a fence, you won’t constantly worry about your dog running away or your kids chasing a ball into the street. When you install a fence, you’re taking a proactive step towards keeping out unwanted guests and protecting your loved ones.

Noise Reduction

Nothing kills the mood of a nice relaxing nap on your outdoor furniture like the sound of vehicles going by and the neighbors’ kids screaming as they play. We aren’t promising that a fence will magically make everything silent, but it provides a substantial improvement. When you have a privacy fence surrounding your outdoor haven, plenty of things will cease to be assaults on your ears:

  • Street traffic
  • Kids at play
  • Neighborhood dogs
  • The neighbor’s party you weren’t invited to

Increased Property Value

Want to boost your home’s value? A privacy fence can work wonders here! Not only does it improve initial curb appeal, but should you put your house on the market potential buyers are likely to see it as a huge draw. This means you can set a higher asking price, as buyers frequently prioritize privacy features in their future home. We’re not saying you should sell your home right after installing a fence, but it’s something to look forward to as a possibility down the road.

Clear Property Boundaries

You’ve probably heard at least one story—be it from a friend or a coworker—about a property dispute that got nasty, leading to tensions between neighbors. Maybe you’ve been in that situation yourself. Whatever the case, arguments over property lines—sometimes down to the inch—have the potential to cause serious headaches and even court costs.

With a privacy fence installation, it’s more difficult to dispute property lines. The gray area is taken out of the equation, and your neighbor is just going to have to take care of that tree that fell on their side of the fence, rather than make it your problem.

Privacy Fence Installation Done Right

A privacy fence offers numerous advantages that are difficult to overlook—enhanced privacy, better security, peace and quiet, a boost in property value, and clarity over property lines. On top of it all, it’s a structure that can make your home even more stylish than it already is.

The best part is that now is as good a time as any to have an aluminum, vinyl, or wood privacy fence installed! If you want to enjoy these benefits on your own property, give us a call today! We’ll provide quotes, guide you through the planning process, help you with material selection, and more. Once the project is underway, we’ll maintain constant communication so the final result is everything you want it to be!

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
