Your home’s fence is important for both practical and aesthetic reasons. Not only does it protect you and your family and provide privacy, but your fence is also a means to express your home’s style. Many people choose a fence that matches their home’s exterior, providing a nice complement to it. The material you use for your fence is an important decision to make. Here is some information about different materials that you can use to help with your decision.

Wood

Wood fences are beautiful and sturdy fences that evoke a classic look. Their strength is perhaps their greatest feature, so you know that if you get a wood fence you will have it for years to come. One thing to consider though is the need for regular maintenance. You will have to weatherproof your wood fence to protect it from the elements. Failing to do this can result in your fence rotting, which can be expensive to repair. If you know that you will not have the time to do weatherproof your fence, then you may want to consider another option.

Vinyl

Using vinyl for your fence is an excellent choice. It isn’t susceptible to rotting like wood fences or rust like some metal fences. This means that they are relatively low-maintenance. You only have to remember to clean your vinyl fence and ensure that the ground below it hasn’t shifted. Also, these fences are highly customizable, meaning that you can use them to show off your sense of style.

Aluminum

These fences are great because they are low-maintenance and are more resistant to corrosion than other metals. Corrosion usually results from precipitation, which can be a problem if you don’t add a finish to your fence. You won’t have to worry about weatherproofing your aluminum fence. Aluminum fences are ideal for people who want a low-maintenance fence that can be used in several places around their property.

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!!
