Placeholder ImageVinyl Decks Vs. Wooden Decks Both wood and vinyl decks have their merits, and there are plenty of reasons people use them on their properties to this day.

Back in the day, when people looked at decking materials, wood was always the first option that came to mind. While wooden decks are still highly popular to this day, a new decking material has begun to rise in popularity as well: vinyl decking. Both wood and vinyl decks have their merits, and there are plenty of reasons people use them on their properties to this day.

About Wooden Decks

Wooden decks are classics. They have been around for decades with no sign of leaving any time soon. What makes them so popular is three main factors. First of all, they are one of the more budget-friendly options. This makes them more accessible to the average homeowner.

Wood also offers a pleasant aesthetic for your deck. It’s a material that complements many houses, and it blends in seamlessly with nature given its natural-looking appearance.

What’s more is that you get a lot of mileage out of wooden decks. With lifespans hovering around the 10-15 year mark, you’ll be able to enjoy your investment for a long time, provided you give your deck the proper care.

Lastly, wood decks are some of the most customizable decks you can find. There are so many stains and paints you can pair with your deck, allowing you to create whatever look or style you want to achieve.

About Vinyl Decks

While wooden decks have been around for much longer, vinyl decks are surging in popularity today, and not without good reason. They have even longer lifespans than wooden decks, lasting around 25 years. This lifespan is also sustained while requiring less maintenance on your end, meaning you won’t spend as much time working on your deck, and instead, you’ll have more time to enjoy it.

Vinyl also comes with the upside of high durability, allowing it to withstand the various weather conditions you may face where you live. It even comes with resistance to both moisture and insects, making it suitable for areas that experience constant rain and snow, or places where there are many bugs present around your yard.

Finally, vinyl decks come with their own aesthetic appeal, just like wooden decks. You can choose from a large assortment of colors, allowing you to match the exterior of your home and landscape without trouble. You’ll have to pay a little extra upfront for the kind of quality you get from a vinyl deck, but you’ll find that the long-term value will make your purchase worth your while.

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!!
