Why your vinyl fence needs to be cleaned

If you notice a distinct green or yellowish tinge starting to creep over your once-brilliant white vinyl fence, it might be time to get the hose and bucket. That color is algae, growing on your fence and feeding on the particles of plant matter that stick there over time. With the combination of sunlight, plant matter, and moisture from rain, algae starts to grow and spread.

How to clean a vinyl fence

If you have a power washer, the whole process is simplified, and you can skip this part. But if you don’t, never fear! With a little bit of elbow grease the job will be over in an afternoon. Just make sure you have a

  • Garden Hose
  • Large Bucket
  • Vinyl Cleaning Solution
  • Stiff Brush

From here on out, the process is quite simple. First, wet the fence down. Next, soak your brush in the cleaning solution and scrub any areas that show staining. Use your garden hose to rinse off the soap and any residue, making sure it is all removed.

Your vinyl fence should optimally be cleaned once per year. If you want to perform some preventative maintenance, make sure to wash away any grass clippings that cling to your fence after mowing. This will deny the algae a food source, and keep it from growing on your fence.

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!!
