Placeholder ImageWhat Can Go Wrong During a Fence Installation Here are some of the mistakes that could happen during a fence installation.

If you get a fence installed, you can improve your home’s security levels while also helping it look nicer.  You’ll also raise the monetary value your home has when you already have a fence installed on the premises. For those getting fence installations done, though, you need to make sure you don’t make mistakes while the installation is happening. That’s why we’re going to look at mistakes that could happen. This way, you’ll know what to avoid doing for your fencing project. Here are some of the mistakes that could happen during a fence installation.

Going Beyond Your Property Line

It’s commonplace for homeowners to get their fences installed along the property lines of their yards. This maximizes how much free space is around the yard while also making it clear where your property ends. However, this is only true if the installation is done correctly. It can be a risky gambit trying to install your fence right along your property line because, even if you’re only a couple inches beyond your property, there could be legal consequences. Just be sure you understand your property lines before your fence installation begins, and stay in touch with all affected neighbors to be sure they are ok with the installation being done.

Not Knowing Where Your Utilities Are Buried

It’s not just property lines that need to be made clear; you also have to determine where all underground utilities are found. Find a utility company to survey your property and figure out the location of all of your underground utilities so that you don’t damage anything by mistake during your fence installation. By being proactive in this regard, you avoid much bigger problems down the road.

Not Knowing the Regulations in Your Area

There are regulations that must be followed whenever a fence installation is being done. Failure to abide by these rules could mean you face hefty fines, or you may even have to take down your fence entirely.

Knowing which regulations to follow can be tough because they change based on where you live. For this reason, it’s good to get in touch with a fencing company that knows the regulations where you live. Picking a local company is advised because they work mainly with clients who are in the same area as you, so they will be more familiar with your area’s regulations.

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!!
