Placeholder ImageFence Maintenance Suggestions for the Fall Season Here are fence maintenance suggestions we have for you during the fall season.

The summer season is just about at its end, and we’re going to be starting the fall season. Summer can be a tough season for our outdoor landscapes, including our fences, so the more moderate weather of fall will be a huge welcome. With that said, winter will be here before we know it, and winter can be just as brutal to our fences as fall. That’s why it’s important to get a lot of preventative fence maintenance done this season so you can be ready when winter arrives. Here are fence maintenance suggestions we have for you during the fall season.

Trim Any Vegetation You Have

The summer weather helps promote vegetation growth around your fence, and while we want our plants to thrive, you don’t want them to grow too much. Trimming back the vegetation surrounding your fence is an important part of fence maintenance because it’s this vegetation that could be hiding noteworthy damage your fence has sustained. Once greenery has been trimmed back, you’ll be able to inspect your fencing more easily and address any damage it has taken.

Make Cleaning a Part of Fence Maintenance

Cleaning is a fairly standard part of fence maintenance. To do this, you typically just need to spray your fence down with a hose, and you’ll be good to go. Avoid using pressure washers for this job because, while they are more effective at removing dirt, they can cause damage to your fencing because of the extra force that pressure washers put out. It might also be a good idea to look at different fence cleaners. If you aren’t sure what cleaner to use, a fencing company could give you advice on what cleaners would be effective, based on the kind of fence that you have.

Add Stain or Paint to Your Fence

Any fence can benefit from being stained or painted. Not only do staining and painting give you the chance to reinvent the look of your fence, but they also offer your fence a layer of protection from unpleasant weather conditions. Do note that you shouldn’t perform painting or staining if your fence is damaged in any way. Fence damage should always be addressed before you carry out painting or staining. Also, like with fence cleaners, it’s a good idea to consult a fencing company for advice on what paints and stains would be best for 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!!
