Placeholder ImagePlanning a Vinyl Deck Installation in Fall If you’re getting a vinyl deck installed, you’ll want to follow these steps during the planning process.

Fall brings plenty of great things. Sweltering heat gives way to more moderate and comfortable temperatures outside. People get ready for autumnal holidays. The leaves become more colorful. On top of all of these wonderful aspects of the season, fall is also the perfect time for getting a new deck installed. For many people, a vinyl deck is the option that they will choose. If you’re getting a vinyl deck installed, you’ll want to follow these steps during the planning process.

Think About Your Climate and Location

When planning a vinyl deck installation, you might think about what view you want once the installation is complete. While this is smart to consider, it’s not the only factor to keep in mind. The weather should also influence your deck’s location. For example, in hotter environments, the north side of your property is better for your deck so that it stays cooler. This means the south side of your property is better if you want more warmth.

You’ll also want to think about when you’re using your deck. Will your deck be used during the start, middle, or end of the day? A decking contractor can help you with your decision once you know what you want.

Make Measurements Twice

Your vinyl deck needs to fit comfortably within your landscape, so before you decide on your deck’s design, you should measure your lawn. By making measurements, you can figure out whether or not the dimensions of your deck will be suitable for your property. This is much better than starting an installation only to find out the design won’t work later. Think about how you will enter the deck and where you’ll install furniture so that it’s easy to navigate across your deck at all times.

Consider the Size of Your Vinyl Deck

When you’re getting ready for a vinyl deck installation, understand that they tend to get sized in increments of 2-4 feet. This is done so that they match up with the sizes of standard lumber. If you’re torn between two different deck sizes, you should opt for the larger size to be safe. The extra space you get will be much appreciated, and you won’t pay too much more for that space. The comfort you get from the extra space will be worth the minimal amount of money needed to pay for it.

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!!
