The Problem

Most fences don't fail.
They're just neglected.

Wood doesn't fall apart overnight. It degrades slowly through sun, moisture, and neglect — until the damage is structural and staining can't fix it anymore. The window to protect it is now, not after it starts rotting.

UV Damage Dries the Wood
Direct Texas sun breaks down wood fibers fast. Unprotected cedar turns grey and brittle within 12–18 months.
Water Causes Rot and Warping
Moisture penetration swells boards, causes warping, and accelerates rot — especially in post-and-rail connections.
Cheap Stain Fades Quickly
Box-store products aren't built for Texas conditions. They fade, peel, and leave a patchy finish within one season.
Poor Prep = Blotchy Results
Staining over dirt, mildew, or old failed product traps moisture and causes uneven absorption every time.

Staining done wrong wastes money.

Done right, it extends the life of the fence by 5–10 years and costs a fraction of replacement.

Service Types

Two staining options.
Both done right.

We assess your fence and recommend what it actually needs — not the most expensive option.

Stain Products

Oil-Based vs. Water-Based.
We recommend based on condition.

Oil-Based Stain

Recommended
  • Penetrates deep into wood fibers
  • Superior UV and moisture protection
  • Richer, longer-lasting color
  • Preferred for cedar and older wood
  • Lasts 3–5 years in Texas conditions
Note: Longer drying time — typically 24–48 hrs before second coat

This is what we use for most DFW builds.

Water-Based Stain

Maintenance Option
  • Faster drying — ready in 2–4 hours
  • Lower VOC formulation
  • Easier recoat and cleanup
  • Works well for maintenance coats
  • Available in wide color range
Note: Less penetration than oil — fades faster in direct sun exposure

Good for maintenance situations and shaded fences.

We inspect and recommend the correct product before touching anything.

Pricing

How much does fence staining
cost in Dallas?

Most fences cost $6–$8 per linear foot to stain, both sides. Here's what that looks like for common fence lengths.

Fence Staining
$6 – $8/ft
~100 ft = $600–$800

Both sides, standard 6-ft fence

Fence Staining
$6 – $8/ft
~150 ft = $900–$1,200

~200 ft = $1,200–$1,600

What Affects the Final Price

Fence Condition: Grey and weathered wood requires more prep — adds to cost vs. a fence in good shape.
Number of Sides: One-sided vs. two-sided staining (shadowbox and board-on-board both have two exposed sides).
Prep Required: Full strip jobs include power washing, brightening, and mildew treatment before any stain.
Fence Height: 8-ft fences take more material and time than 6-ft standard height.
Stain Type: Oil-based runs slightly higher in product cost but lasts longer. Usually the right call.
Linear Footage: Larger jobs have lower per-foot cost due to efficiency — ask us about volume pricing.

Common Failures

Why most stain jobs look bad
in 6 months.

These aren't edge cases. They're the most common reasons fence staining fails — and what we build our entire process to prevent.

No Surface Prep

Staining over dirt, mildew, or peeling old product. The stain can't bond — it peels and blotches within months.

Cheap Consumer Products

Box-store stains aren't formulated for Texas UV intensity. They fade fast and leave the wood unprotected.

Uneven Application

Rushed jobs with inconsistent coverage leave light spots, streaks, and uneven color across the whole fence.

Over-Spraying

Spraying too heavy causes pooling, drips, and film buildup. Wood can't absorb what it can't drink.

No Absorption Control

Old and new wood absorb stain differently. Without adjustment, you get a two-tone fence that looks worse than before.

Wrong Weather Timing

Staining in direct sun or high humidity causes fast drying and poor penetration. Timing and conditions matter.

We stain it correctly — not quickly.

The Process

No guesswork.
No patch jobs.

01

Inspect Fence Condition

We assess before we touch anything.

We walk the entire fence line, check board condition, post stability, and determine whether maintenance or full restoration is right.

02

Prep the Surface

No shortcuts on prep.

Power washing, mildew treatment, sanding rough spots, brightening grey wood. Prep is what separates a 6-month job from a 5-year job.

03

Apply Even Coat

Controlled, professional application.

We apply with proper technique — even coverage, controlled absorption, consistent color throughout. No rushing, no skip areas.

04

Final Check

We don't leave until it's right.

Final walkthrough for consistency, touch-ups on corners and hard spots. You get the result you paid for.

Who It's For

Why homeowners stain now
instead of waiting.

Prevent Fence Replacement

A $600–$1,600 staining job (about 100–200 ft, both sides) can add 5–10 years to a fence that would otherwise need full replacement at $5,000–$15,000.

HOA Compliance

Many DFW HOAs require fences to be stained and maintained. We're familiar with common requirements across the metroplex.

Improve Curb Appeal

A freshly stained cedar fence immediately upgrades the look of any property — color, consistency, and depth make a real difference.

Protect Your Investment

You already paid for the fence. Staining is the lowest-cost, highest-return maintenance service you can do.
