Placeholder ImageHow to Prepare For Your Next Fencing Installation This is what you should do to get ready for your fence installation.

One of the best ways to keep your home safe is by getting a fence installation done. You create a strong border around your yard that defines your property and keeps intruders away. Many people elect to get their fence installation done with the help of a professional fencing company. But this doesn’t mean you can’t help with the installation. If you prepare properly, you can make sure that your installation goes as smoothly as possible. This is what you should do to get ready for your fence installation.

Understand Your Property Line

A simple and effective way to prep for your fence installation is to know your property line. While it may sound easier to make a rough estimate, we strongly advise against this. You don’t want to run into problems with neighbors by having your fence on their property. This could get you into trouble. Speak with your neighbors ahead of time to make them aware of the situation before you move forward.

Know What Materials You Want to Use for Your Fence

Before your fencing installation can begin, you have to know what material your fence will use. There are many materials available, such as wood, vinyl, and aluminum. Each has its merits, so you’ll want to do your research on each type of fence. The fence you go with will depend on your home’s specific needs. Also, some neighborhoods will prefer certain fences to others, which could influence how much money you can make selling your home one day.

Move Obstructions Out of the Way

Sometimes, there will be obstacles that are found right where you want to install your fence, such as rocks and tree stumps. You’ll have to get those removed before you can start your fence installation.

Check Your Utility Installations

While the fencing installation looks like it’s being done above ground, you actually need to make sure you don’t destroy any underground utilities like water and sewage lines. One of the perks of hiring a fencing company is that they will often inspect your yard for utilities before the fence installation begins.

Think About Your Budget

The last thing you want to do is plan out a fence installation only to find out it’s out of your budget range. You should know how much money you are willing to invest into your fence before you start the installation. This will help you determine which company to hire, what material to use, and how large your fence will be, among other things.

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!!
