Placeholder ImagePlaceholder Image

In Maryland, the seasons are temperamental. It isn’t uncommon to experience 80-degree weather late into autumn, and the first snowfall may happen as early as November. When the temperature changes drastically in fall and spring, it’s more likely that a bad storm will head our way. When this happens, it’s best to be prepared.

We may not have to board any windows or hide out in dark basements, but it’s best to take a few precautionary steps to prevent any damage to your property. Your fence may have been installed to protect your house and family, but during a storm, it may do more harm than good. As the seasons change, take a few minutes to examine your fence and ensure that its storm proof.

Check for Loose Posts

Whether your fence is brand new or has been protecting your home for years, it’s best to walk around the perimeter and examine each post. Unstable posts could potentially break off during a storm or snap under the weight of a heavy wind. This is problematic for your fence as it may cause damage to the rest of its exterior and problematic for your home as loose posts could fly towards to house or your neighbor’s property.

Check the Fence Line

Are there any trees or limbs that hang over top of your fence line? These provide shade during sunny days but potentially cause damage to your fence during a bad storm. Large limbs could fall onto your fence, or dead trees could become uprooted and break your fence as well. Trimming any large limbs are removing dead trees could save your fence from destruction.

Check Your Yard

That lacrosse goal may appear innocent now, but come time for a storm it could have the potential to damage your home or the interior of your fence. Be sure to bring any items close to the house or into the garage before a big storm hits. If you have any potted plants outside it’s best to bring them closer to the house as well as they could tip over and break during a heavy wind.

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!!
