Placeholder ImageWhy You Should Get Your Deck Installed in Early Spring Find out why early spring is the best time to install a new deck.

We’re getting closer and closer to the end of winter, and that means the weather is going to start warming up. It also means that there will be more people working on their outdoor landscapes. One way people like to improve their yards is with the addition of a new deck.

Fortunately, this will be a great time of year to consider a new decking installation. You may hear from deck builders that spring is the ideal time for getting a new deck installed. But why is now the time? Find out why early spring is the best time to install a new deck.

Scheduling Appointments is Much Easier

During early spring, it’s a lot easier to get appointments scheduled with professional deck contractors. The demand for decks goes down during winter but doesn’t truly pick up again until the middle of spring, making now your golden opportunity to get in touch with a decking contractor. With a lower demand for decks, you might still be able to get better deals on decking materials too.

The Weather is Mild

Spring provides you with some pretty ideal weather conditions for a deck installation. Temperatures don’t get too hot or cold, and contractors can work more efficiently when the weather conditions are ideal like this. Also, by starting your deck installation in early spring rather than later in the season, the installation won’t carry over into the summer when the weather gets hotter.

You Have a Smaller Chance of Wood Movement

A few months will be needed for pressure-treated lumber to dry. In late spring, moisture levels can go on the rise, causing the lumber to absorb too much moisture. If this happens, the lumber will swell. This doesn’t even take into consideration that wood takes longer to dry in the later parts of spring.

In late winter and early spring, the weather still won’t be too humid, which means your lumber can dry more quickly and evenly.

You’ll Get to Enjoy your Deck in Late Spring

Deck installations take time, and a lot of people want to be able to enjoy their decks once the weather has warmed up. This means you have to start building your deck before the weather has gotten warmer.

By getting your deck installed at the start of spring, you can have it ready to go later in the season. This will allow you to enjoy all of your favorite outdoor activities right away instead of having to wait an extra year because you started your installation a little too late.

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!!
