Surface preparation is the foundation of a durable finish. We start by evaluating the fence condition—wood age, previous coatings, mildew or algae presence, gray weathering, loose boards, and any areas that need attention. Then we clean the surface to remove dirt, pollen, residue, and growth that can prevent proper adhesion or penetration.
After cleaning, the fence must dry adequately before coating. We confirm the surface is ready, address rough or failing areas when needed, and protect nearby landscaping and hardscapes. Proper masking and controlled application help reduce overspray and keep edges neat, especially around gates, hinges, posts, and hardware.
Next, we apply the appropriate stain or paint using methods suited to your fence type and finish goals—brush, roll, spray, or a combination to ensure consistent coverage. We focus on uniform color, clean cut-ins, and complete protection of boards, rails, and posts. The final steps include a walkthrough to confirm the finish quality and guidance on curing times and maintenance.
