Placeholder ImageDeciding What Deck Height and Size is Best For Your Property To help figure out the right deck height and size for your home, here are some thoughts you should be considering.

If you’re installing a new deck in the near future, then you understand that it takes a lot of planning. Your deck should have dimensions that work best for your property. It has to complement your home’s look, and it has to function the way that you want it to function. Another important aspect of your deck is that it has to be the appropriate size and height for your needs, and this takes plenty of thought. To help figure out the right deck height and size for your home, here are some thoughts you should be considering.

What Do You Want Your Deck to Include?

Your deck isn’t going to be an empty space outside of your home; there will be features you want to include, and the features you want will influence how big your deck will be in the end. Maybe you want an outdoor kitchen to be included. Perhaps you want to have a dining area. Some people elect to get fire features installed as well. Once you know everything that you want your deck to have, you can figure out how much space is needed to fit all of these features.

Is Your Deck at Ground Level Or Is It Elevated?

You can choose to install a deck either at ground level or on a higher floor of your home. For decks built at ground level, it will likely be connected either to a living space on the first floor, or it will be connected to your basement if you have one.

Elevated decks, on the other hand, will be constructed in a manner so that a door on a higher story of your house will be connected to it.

If you have a two-story deck, your deck height will be determined by how tall your home is. Your deck height should match the height of your home to ensure the deck and house connect to each other seamlessly. Working with a deck contractor can be beneficial in this situation to ensure the deck height is appropriate

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!!
