With the severe weather that Maryland has seen lately, your fence might be looking like it needs a little help. Even if your fence hasn’t been particularly damaged by the weather, years of wear and tear cause a lot of stress on the wood. With these fence care tips, you’ll be able to properly care for your fence and brighten up your yard!

Time For The Power Washer

If you already own a power washer, you probably know how to use one and understand how effective it is. If you don’t own your own power washer, you can easily rent one. Power washers are the best way to get the deepest, most thorough clean for anything. While renting a power washer, you might find more uses for it than just your fence. Power washers are great for decks and patios too — any outdoor area that collects a lot of hard-to-clean dirt and grime. You’ll need to attach your garden hose to the power washer first. Then snap a 25-degree tip onto the wand and keep the wand about 18 inches away from the fence as you spray.

Find The Damaged Areas

While you’re power washing, take note of any areas of your fence that may be damaged. After thoroughly washing your fence, allow time for it to dry. If you come across any areas that are split or broken, glue the pieces back together with waterproof wood glue. With a screwdriver, you can easily tighten any loose boards. Be sure to use stainless steel or waterproof screws to prevent rusting. Realigning gates and doors may be tricky, depending on the type of gate that you have. If you have any trouble with your gate, a local fencing specialist can help.

Thorough Staining Techniques

One of the easiest ways to stain your fence is to roll it on. Once you’ve rolled it on, you can go over harder to reach areas with a brush. Make sure you take care of any drips and cover even the smallest areas of your fence.

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!!
