Placeholder ImageWhat You Need To Know Before Buying Vinyl Fencing Follow this guide to ensure your next vinyl fencing project goes well.

Vinyl fencing is a cheap yet beautiful option to give your home extra glamour and security. While buying and installing it can seem intimidating, it can be a simple process if you’re properly prepared. Follow this guide to ensure your next vinyl fencing project goes well.

Material Strength

The first thing you need to think about is how strong the vinyl you’re purchasing will be. You want to pick fencing that won’t chip, crack, or rot as time goes on. Other fences, such as wooden fences, may perform well for a little while. But once the harsh natural elements start to take their toll, these fence types won’t be able to stand up to the conditions. This means your fence might not last as long as you would like. If you invest in vinyl fencing, you can get a strong, durable fence that will last you for several years to come.

Style

Once you have your material picked out, you’re going to want to select a style of fence for your house. The type of fencing you choose can depend on a number of different factors. The fencing you choose can change based on what personal preferences you have, the look of your house, or perhaps even the surrounding area in your neighborhood. You’ll also want to consider the purpose your vinyl fencing will serve. Do you want privacy fencing? Pool fencing? Horse fencing? Based on what purpose you want the fence to serve, it can influence factors of your fence, such as height.

Layout & Access

Knowing the style of fence for your home is important. Once you have that figured out, though, you’ll need to consider the size of your yard. Depending on how big or small your yard is, the size of your vinyl fencing will vary. Make sure to measure the area you want to have fenced, and draw a layout of the area where you’ll have the fence installed. This will help you determine how many fence panels you need, as well as the type of fence posts.

Check Local Ordinance

You might have an image for what you want your vinyl fencing to look like. However, you need to make sure that your local codes are fine with you building the type of fence you want. You can check in with your local zoning services to find out what’s acceptable. Most local codes are online, but you could also visit your city’s department of building and zoning services. It is recommended that you have the scope of the project figured out before you do this step, so you can see if your vinyl fencing abides by local building codes.

Property Line

Talk to neighbors about your vinyl fencing before going through with the project. They’re impacted too, and you don’t want to impose on their property. To prevent any conflict, determine the property line. Speak with your county office to get the exact property lines.

Underground Utilities

Make sure that all utility lines are marked down before your fencing starts. This helps with placing post holes.

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!!
