Signs You Need Deck Maintenance

Placeholder Imagedeck-maintenance Find out the signs your deck needs a little TLC.

You deck is a valuable extension of your home that offers many lifestyle changing benefits. You’ll love being about to grill up dinner, mix summer cocktails, and lounge on outdoor furniture with expertly installed decking. While these outdoor activities are filled with good times, your deck often suffers from all those years of foot traffic, rambunctiousness, and boisterous holiday celebrations. Normal wear and tear is expected from any outdoor home improvement structure that is constantly exposed to the elements. Just as we clean other areas of our home, it’s also important to practice deck maintenance. Pay attention to these signs that your deck needs some tender, loving care.

Worn Or Faded Appearance

If your composite deck’s once bright color begins to fade, it’s time for some much-needed deck maintenance. You might remember the day those composite slats were installed, and how rich, bright and bold they appeared. With the buildup of dirt and grime, those pieces will quickly become muted and dull. You can restore your deck’s natural luster with a good cleaning to help the color return to normal.

Spots, Lot and Lots of Spots

Harmful algae and mold will, potentially, start to grow on an old, worn deck. From bright sunlight and moisture exposure, your deck’s worn surface presents a perfect environment for algae and mold growth. They’ll start to form spots riddled throughout your outdoor surface. If you don’t take action to rid your backyard of both, you and your guests will be breathing harmful spores while in a space that’s supposed to be relaxing. A good scrubbing with cleaning detergents should wash those spots right off!

Corroded Fasteners

Metal fasteners used in the deck installation phase are prone to corrosion. When metal materials interact with chemicals in the environment, corrosion will often occur. Routine cleaning of the fasteners themselves will keep corrosion from building up to the point where it’s not manageable. While washing away that dirt and grime that’s accumulated on the deck surface, be sure to give the metal fasteners some tidying up as well.

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!!
