Our Fence Painting and Fence Staining Process
Quality results start with meticulous preparation. We are the fence company that doesn’t cut corners. Our comprehensive process ensures a beautiful and durable finish for all types of fences.
1. Thorough Cleaning
We start with a power wash to remove dirt, mildew, and old, flaking paint. This cleaning step is essential for proper paint and stain adhesion.
2. Surface Preparation
Our contractors will sand rough spots and make minor repairs as needed to create a smooth, uniform surface. We protect your landscaping and property to ensure a clean work area.
3. Primer Application
We apply a high-quality primer to seal the wood or metal, prevent stains from bleeding through, and create the perfect base for the topcoat.
4. Expert Paint or Stain Application
Using premium paints and stains, primarily from Sherwin-Williams, our skilled painters apply even coats for a flawless finish. Whether you need solid paint coverage or a semi-transparent stain, we have the right product.
4. Final Inspection and Cleanup
We don’t consider the job complete until we’ve performed a final walkthrough with you to ensure your total satisfaction. Our team cleans the site completely, leaving nothing behind but a beautiful fence.
