Placeholder ImageIndicators That Your Metal Fencing Needs Replacing Read on for signs that your metal fencing is in need of replacing.

When people get metal fences installed, many will use aluminum, iron, and steel as fencing materials. However, even these reliable choices won’t last forever. There will come a time when your metal fencing can’t hold up against the elements anymore. At this time, a replacement fence will be needed, but when exactly should you make the switch to a new fence? Read on for signs that your metal fencing is in need of replacing.

Your Fence Has Accidental Damage On It

Maybe your fence has taken a heavy amount of damage from incidents such as fallen trees, crashed vehicles, or hazardous weather conditions. When these events happen, your fence will have weakened structure, so it won’t be able to provide the safety and privacy that you need from it.

Your Metal Fencing Has Rust

Nowadays, metal fences will typically be coated with rust-resistant finishes. Even so, though, it’s still possible that rusting could occur. Preventing rust is truly the best option, and if you only have small amounts of rust, you could make repairs to save your fence.

When there is rust all over your fence, however, it is beyond saving. This is when it’s time to stop trying to fix your current fence, and instead invest in a brand new one.

The Metal is Heavily Sagging, Warped, or Bent

If the metal in your fencing has been bent, it means that the fence has taken critical damage. Some people may think you can bend your fence back to how it was, but this only serves to make your fence weaker.

You don’t want your fence to lean because there is a great risk of your fence falling over and hurting someone. This is why you should call a professional fencing company and get your metal fencing replaced as quickly as possible.

There are Damaged and Exposed Fasteners on Your Fence

Keep a close eye on your fence’s nails and screws. They are needed to keep the different parts of your fence together. If you see that your fasteners are rusting, worn down, or even protruding from your fence, then your fence is not structurally sound anymore, and there is a high chance of your fencing collapsing. Getting a new fence is the best solution available in situations such as these. This way, you’ll have a fence with strong fasteners that will keep it structurally stable for years to come.

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!!
