Fence Staining That Stands Up to Texas Sun

Unprotected wood fences gray, crack and warp under Texas sun. A quality stain protects your investment and makes your whole home look sharper.

Why stain your fence in North Texas?

UV exposure in DFW is intense for much of the year. It breaks down wood fibers and turns cedar silver-gray, while rain and sprinklers soak boards and lead to cupping, splitting and rot near the ground. A penetrating stain slows all of that down, helping your fence last longer and keeping its color rich.

Our staining process

  • Inspecting for loose boards and nails, and fixing them first
  • Cleaning the fence to remove dirt, mildew and graying
  • Protecting landscaping, concrete and siding from overspray
  • Applying a quality penetrating stain in your chosen color
  • Final walkthrough and cleanup

How often to restain

Most DFW fences benefit from restaining every few years, depending on sun exposure and product. New cedar should usually weather briefly before its first coat. Many HOAs specify approved stain colors, and we'll help you match them. Staining pairs well with a fence repair or a new build — and while we're at your home, we're happy to take a look at your roof with a free Roof Protection Inspection.
