What To Do Before Your Fence Installation

Having a fence installed is a complicated process, but with Albaugh & Sons it’s made easy. It’s an exciting moment when your fence is completed and you can admire the privacy, and the beauty it brings to your overall landscape. However, before you reach completion, there are a few steps you need to take prior to beginning. Following these necessary tips will ensure a smooth process.

Do A Self-Evaluation

Before installing a fence (or anything really), make sure you understand why you’re installing it. This is because your reasoning can lead you to a certain style of fencing. It will also impact the height and thickness of your fence. Are you aiming for privacy? Is it to cooperate with the pool code and surrounding it with a fence? Are you going for an aesthetic appeal? There are plenty of questions to ask and answer.

Look Into The Property Lines

A crucial aspect of fence installation is knowing exactly where your property line is located. You can install or do anything up to the point, but do not go over it. If you do, you run the risk of irking your neighbors, which may end up costing you in the long run (and creating an unhappy neighbor). There are plenty of ways you can go about finding your property line. The easiest is to find your property deed or the survey you received when purchasing the home. If either of those fail, you can always go to the county office to get the exact measurements. In addition to this task, you should also make sure to follow the correct codes, and obtain any necessary permits. Depending on where you are installing your fence, you should also be aware of the height maximums, as you do not want to exceed any limitations and get fined.

Alert Your Neighbors

It’s a simple task, but you should always keep your neighbors in the loop if you plan on installing a fence. It’s just a common courtesy, as construction will be ongoing, whether you plan on hiring a contractor or doing it yourself.

Utilities

Make sure you check for utility lines before beginning anything. You do not want to cause damage to them, or anything underground. That would be a worst-case scenario, so be sure to take the proper precaution.

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!!
