Fence Staining & Sealing
Grey, weathered fences cleaned and stained in an HOA-approved color, protecting the wood from sun and moisture while it looks new again.
Overview
Texas sun turns untreated cedar silver-grey within a year, and the UV that greys the surface also breaks down the wood fibers. A good penetrating stain slows that down, blocks the moisture that causes warping and cracking, and evens out repairs so new and old boards match.
We clean first (washing away grey surface fibers, mildew and dirt), let the wood dry, then spray and back-brush the stain so it penetrates rather than sitting on top. We stain both sides when you want, and protect your grass, plants, house and driveway from overspray.

Common questions
How soon can new cedar be stained?
Usually after a few weeks, once the wood has dried enough to absorb stain. We check moisture before staining.
How often should I re-stain?
Every two to three years for semi-transparent stain in full sun; solid stain lasts somewhat longer.
Can you match my HOA's required color?
Yes. Bring us the approved color, or we'll check your HOA's guidelines.
Will you stain my neighbor's side?
Only with your neighbor's agreement. We're happy to coordinate.
