Placeholder ImageWhy Fall is the Best Time for a Decking Installation Having a decking installation in fall has its perks over spring or summer when others are installing their decks.

For many people, they think that outdoor renovations come to an end when temperature drop and the leaves change colors and that it’s time to start bundling up inside and getting cozy by a warm fire. What they may not realize is that fall is the perfect time to make outdoor renovations, like having a new decking installation. Having a decking installation in fall has its perks over spring or summer when others are installing their decks.

Pick the Best Contractors

In the fall, decking installations are easy to set up. Decking contractors are in the “off-season” during fall, so there aren’t many jobs they work on at this time. This means all of the best contractors are more available, so you can pick the best person for your decking job.

Less Negative Impact on your Landscape

In spring and summer, the weather is more intense. You can get days of sweltering heat, and other days that have heavy rain. When the weather is cooler, like it is in fall, it helps to dry out your landscape. This makes a decking installation much easier because you won’t cause as much damage to your yard.

Get Ahead of Others on your Decking Installation

If you do your decking installation in the fall, that means you beat the spring rush, so while others are still installing decks on their property, you’re already enjoying your deck. You also won’t have to worry about the hot weather like everyone else.

You Can Capitalize on Predictable Weather

Speaking of weather, it is relatively predictable during the fall, more so than in the spring or summer. There are fewer troublesome weather conditions that pop up, such as thunderstorms, that could force you to delay your decking installation. This makes it easier to get your deck installed more quickly.

You Can Save Money

While business tends to slow down in the fall, most contractors are available all year long. Usually, during this time, contractors will offer off-season prices. This means you can get the same decking installation done at a reduced cost. You could use the money you save to help find accessories for your deck, so you get a more refined deck for the same price as a regular deck in spring or summer.

Enjoy Your Deck in the Warmer Months

If you want to use your deck in the spring or summer, then you want to get your decking installation finished before then. Otherwise, you’ll be spending the time working on the deck instead of enjoying it as you planned.

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!!
