Placeholder ImageGetting Your Fence Ready for Fall We’ll be helping you figure out how you can get your fence prepared for the fall season.

We’re getting ready to say bye to summer for the year, and welcome the fall season. During the transition from summer to fall, temperatures will begin to cool down, and leaves will begin to fall from the trees. For homeowners, this means there will be changes to how you take care of your outdoor landscape. One area you’ll need to monitor during this time is your fence if you have one. You don’t want your fencing to run into problems during the new season, whether it’s fading, rotting, or a buildup of mildew. That’s why we’ll be helping you figure out how you can get your fence prepared for the fall season.

Check If Your Fence Has Any Damage

If you don’t want damage to build up on your fencing, it’s helpful to monitor it and see if damage has started to develop. Catching problems early allows for you to quickly resolve the issue. If your fencing has started to rot, for example, you may notice boards that are starting to cave in a bit, or you have posts that are a little loose. A weakened fence won’t be able to handle the upcoming wind of autumn or the snow of winter, so getting these problems fixed will be a necessity.

Have Your Fencing Waterproofed

Maybe your fencing doesn’t have signs of rotting at the moment. If so, this is your chance to take a proactive approach and waterproof your fence so it will be ready for inclement weather down the road. Some fences, like vinyl ones, will typically be waterproof already, but this can be a good idea for other fences, such as those made of wood. If you want to see if wooden fencing is waterproof, run a splash test on the fence. You’ll know that waterproofing is needed if your fencing either gets darker with water, or if the wood absorbs the water.

Make Sure Leaves Aren’t Touching Your Fence

Falling leaves are one of the most commonly-known parts of the upcoming autumn season. These leaves are best kept away from your fencing because leaves will collect moisture, which can then transfer to your fencing and accelerate the rotting process. Because of this, you just want to be sure you’re raking your leaves as they come down. As long as you stay on top of leaf cleanup, your fence’s rotting chances will be kept to a minimum.

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!!
