Placeholder ImageDeciding on a Deck Installation Contractor Do the following when you’re deciding on a deck contractor.

If you’re getting a deck built, the first thing you’ll want to do is find a contractor to help you with the installation. Not all decking contractors can be trusted, so the one you pick will have a heavy influence over the quality you get with the finished product. Fortunately for you, there are some ways to make deciding on a contractor a little easier. Do the following when you’re deciding on a deck contractor.

Look for Credentials

You will want to know whether or not the decking contractor you’re thinking of hiring has the right credentials for the job. You should always verify that the contractor you pick has general liability insurance. Otherwise, your homeowner’s insurance will have to get a claim paid. An insured contractor is the only one you should ever pick because it protects you from liability concerns if an accident were to happen on your property.

Pick a Deck Contractor Who Has Plenty of Experience

There are a lot of deck contractors who are experienced at what they do. With that said, some contractors have more skill and experience than other ones.

There’s a lot of complexity during the deck-building process. They have to know your wants and needs and factor them into the finished product. The deck also has to work with the landscape. Lastly, if anything is going wrong, you want a contractor who will make adjustments so that your deck turns out the way you want in the end.

References are Always Important

It takes a lot of money to get a deck installed. For this reason, you need to know that you’ll get good results from the decking contractor you select. A good way to find out if a contractor is trustworthy is to ask past clients about their experiences. Were they pleased with the services they were provided? How is their deck holding up these days? Would they recommend other people to hire the same contractor? These are the questions you want answered before you commit to anyone. Don’t pick a contractor who isn’t well-received by their past clients.

Your Deck Contractor Should Have Integrity

Always pick a contractor who is honest with you. Sometimes, you just get a feeling that something isn’t right when you’re talking to someone. Don’t fear just going with your instincts in these situations. If you don’t trust them, don’t pick them.

Look over the contract they give you and see if there is anything in it that doesn’t sit right with you. Are they trying to hide anything from you? If you think the answer is yes, look for someone else to handle your deck installation for you.

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!!
