Expert Deck Installation VS. DIY Nightmares

Placeholder ImagePlaceholder Image

We’ve all heard the stories. One of your friends decided to take on a complex, lengthy home improvement project without the necessary tools, skills, or planning capability. What were the consequences? A lot of wasted time, energy and money resulting in a subpar, dysfunctional product. Custom deck design is tricky! You really need to understand how to make accurate measurements. Your carpentry skills must be polished and well-practiced. If you have little experience with construction work, chances are you’re not going to get the product you desire. You’ll end up paying a lot more than you would for professional deck installation to make up for error and replacement materials. Of course, it is ultimately your decision whether you take on a project by yourself, but the question is should you?

Trust Your Expert Deck Builders

You’ll want your deck to last. Do-it-yourself projects do not ensure optimal deck longevity. Often times, unprofessionally installing your deck leads to unconsidered complications such as wood rot and termites. Building a sound deck is great, but only expert craftsman will enable your deck to stay in usable condition for 30+ years. Novice carpenters cannot deliver the same quality tightened screws, straight angles, deep posts, and proper materials. Unless you’ve been a carpenter or worked construction at some point, Do-it-yourself deck installation is ill-advised. Don’t waste an awesome investment on a product that won’t last more than 3 years. If you want your new outdoor space to be the platform for family memories for years to come, call an expert to install it today.

The Consequences Of Do-It-Yourself Deck Projects

Poorly executed Do-It-Yourself projects could decrease your home’s value! Any home improvement project that’s a major undertaking with specific expertise required could result in disastrous monetary consequences. For example, a vast majority of home renovations require knowledge of city/county building codes. If you’re unfamiliar with these or did not know they were necessary until after your project is completed, you could be forced to take your new deck down by your local state entity. Imagine how much money you’d lose! Local, professional deck builders have knowledge of the most common building code requirements. Maryland residential deck building codes change frequently. Trust the experts to be well-versed on these issues and deliver a state regulated product that looks good, and lasts for years. We build decks using natural hardwoods or maintenance-free composite decking including Trex, Timber Tech, and Azek. We produce custom deck designs for every client. Tell us the details of your Do-It-Yourself project and we’ll execute it 100% according to plan. You’ll get the product that you need with skilled hands and expert installation. Don’t risk not getting a return on your home’s investment! Increase it’s value and curb appeal by hiring one of our owners as a project manager for the best carpenters in the business. We design decks according to the state of Maryland’s safety codes and ordinances. A faulty do-it-yourself project could result in personal injury by a novice home improvement team!

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!!
