The Benefits of Spring Deck Maintenance

Before you can enjoy cookouts and lounging in the sun, spring should be the start of your deck maintenance preparation for the summer.

The winter not only makes things harder on us, but our homes take a beating as well. Deck maintenance is needed right after winter to address any issues, whether large or small. Without proper maintenance, larger problems may occur down the road.

Spring Deck Maintenance

When the more pleasant weather of spring approaches us, inspecting the area around your deck is a great way to start the proper maintenance needed for the summer. Just like you were hidden away for the winter, rodents, spiders and termites can quickly find a home in wood and debris around your deck. Make sure to clean up any woodpiles or any other materials that may have served as a refuge for a variety of critters. Also, pruning trees and shrubs that are near your deck also helps to prevent any additional infestations.

Waterproofing & Other Issues

An early jump on your deck maintenance will help you to detect any issues that may have occurred through water damage. Although your deck may have waterproofing, it’s important to make sure that the waterproofing is still intact, as well as the envelope is still protected. This helps to avoid any issues that may occur in the future from excessive water. While some issues may jump out at you, others can be hard to notice with an untrained eye. Hiring a home improvement contractor will help in detecting issues with your deck’s slope, the stability of your deck and deck rot.

Proper Deck Maintenance Saves Money

The longer you wait to fix any issues with your deck, the quicker it can deteriorate. With proper deck maintenance, however, you can make sure that you will have full access to hosting barbeques and enjoying time with your family on your properly maintained piece of paradise. Don’t let small issues turn into big issues, and spend the money in the spring to make your deck prepared for the summer.

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!!
