How To Get Your Deck Prepared For Fall

The doors of August have closed, which means the summer is slowly coming to an end. It’s a bittersweet time. While some prefer the perfect warmth of summer, others love the crisp air that the fall season brings. Regardless of which season you prefer, you have to prepare for the transition. The weather element is a clear change, and it will impact your house and surroundings. Looking at your backyard, the deck is a feature that requires specific attention for this switch.

Maintenance

The key to a strong deck is maintaining it. By that, we mean making sure that any and all filth is eradicated, and the material remains in fine form. A good way to do this is through scrubbing. It’s not the most efficient way, as it can become quite tiresome, but it is effective. If you have the budget, the best and quickest maintenance method is to power wash. Power washing blasts away any buildup and truly leaves your deck looking the way it did when you originally installed it. This goes together with waterproofing your deck. Especially if you have one of the wooden variety, you want to make sure you’re sealing it.

Illuminate Your Area

With the fall season comes a change in light. The sun will slowly start setting earlier and earlier, which means you should prepare for it by illuminating your deck. There are plenty of light fixtures that you can add to make your deck come to life. With the crisp air and early sunsets, you’ll want to enjoy that time outside.

Be Mindful Of Leaves

Fall brings a lot of wind with it, and that produces leaves piling up on the ground. It’s commonplace to clear leaves, but you don’t want to do it after they’ve been sitting for awhile. Letting leaves build up on your deck is a recipe for disaster. The plant particles can find a way between deck cracks, leading to future decay.

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!!
