Our process

How we handle fence staining

1

Assess

We look at the wood, the existing stain, sun exposure and any damaged pickets or posts.

2

Clean

Dirt, mildew and graying are washed off the fence and gates.

3

Prep

Peeling old finish is sanded or stripped back, and plants, walls and nearby surfaces are masked or covered.

4

Stain

Stain goes onto pickets, rails, posts and gates, brushed or sprayed depending on the fence, with even coverage.

5

Review

We walk the fence with you, check the sides we agreed on, and explain how to care for it.

When to repaint

Signs your fence needs staining

  • The fence has turned gray or looks dry and faded
  • Water soaks in instead of beading on the boards
  • Old stain is peeling, patchy or worn away
  • Dark mildew spots on shaded sections
  • You'd like the fence to match a freshly painted house
Price and timing

What affects the cost of fence staining

We don’t publish flat prices because every home is different. Your written estimate depends on:

  • Length and height of the fence, and the number of gates
  • Wood type and condition, and how much sanding or stripping is needed
  • Access: tight side yards, slopes, landscaping or a wall on the other side
  • How many sides you want stained
  • Stain type, number of coats and dry weather
Questions

Fence Staining: common questions

How long does fence stain last?

It depends on the wood, sun exposure and the stain. Transparent stains need reapplying soonest. We'll give you a realistic interval for your fence.

Can you stain both sides of the fence?

Yes, whichever sides you ask for. If the fence is shared with a neighbor, it is worth agreeing on the plan with them first.

Do you need to protect my plants?

Yes. We cover or move what we can, and we tell you beforehand what to expect around landscaping.

Can I stain a brand-new fence right away?

New wood is often wet or has a surface that blocks stain. We check moisture and tell you whether to wait.

How much does fence staining cost?

It depends on the length and height of the fence, its condition, the number of gates, how many sides are stained and the product you choose. We don't publish flat prices, and your written estimate lists exactly what is included.

What are the best fence stain colors?

Natural and transparent tones keep the wood grain visible, while darker and solid colors cover more and even out weathered boards. We'll put sample patches on your own fence so you see the color in your light before you decide.

Should I stain or paint my fence?

Stain keeps a wood fence looking like wood and fades gradually. Paint covers the grain and can peel as the boards expand and contract. We'll recommend what suits your fence.

Do you give written estimates?

Yes. Every estimate is line by line: which surfaces, what prep, which products, how many coats and what isn't included, so you can compare it with any other bid.
