Fence Staining

A stained fence doesn't just look sharper — it lasts longer. We coat cedar and pressure-treated fencing evenly so your whole property line looks intentional and stays protected from the weather.

Overview

Fence Staining that actually lasts

Your fence is one of the largest visible surfaces on your property, and left untreated, it's also one of the fastest to weather. Cedar that started warm and golden fades to grey within a couple of seasons, and unprotected pickets soak up moisture that leads to warping, cracking, and rot. A quality stain stops that slide and keeps the fence looking like a deliberate part of your landscaping.

DeckMasters stains fences with the same care we bring to decks. Fences have a lot of surface area and a lot of edges, so even coverage takes patience and the right equipment — rushing it leaves drips, missed spots, and uneven color that's obvious from the street. We take the time to coat every picket, rail, and post evenly so the finished fence reads as one clean, continuous line.

Uniform, edge-to-edge color

We coat every picket and rail evenly so the whole run looks consistent, not patchy or streaked.

Moisture protection

Sealing the wood keeps rain out and slows the warping, cracking, and rot that ruin untreated fences.

Instant curb appeal

A freshly stained fence sharpens the look of your entire yard and frames the property cleanly.

Preserves the wood

Stain protects cedar and pressure-treated lumber so your fence lasts years longer before needing replacement.

UV defense

Quality stain slows the sun-bleaching that turns a warm fence flat and grey.

Low-maintenance finish

A well-stained fence needs far less upkeep than one left bare to the elements.

Signs it's time for fence staining

If a few of these sound like your project, it's worth a free look. Some are cosmetic; others are the early warning signs of damage that gets more expensive the longer it waits.

How it works

Our fence staining process

Straightforward, tidy, and communicative from the first call to the final walkthrough.

STEP 01

Assess & choose color

We check the wood's condition and help you pick a tone that suits your home and holds up outdoors.

STEP 02

Clean the surface

We remove dirt, mildew, and loose debris so stain bonds properly to clean wood.

STEP 03

Apply evenly

Using the right equipment, we coat pickets, rails, and posts uniformly for full, even coverage.

STEP 04

Final check

We inspect both sides for missed spots and drips before we consider the job finished.

Why DeckMasters

The details other crews skip

The trick with fences is coverage. All those pickets and gaps make it easy to leave thin spots and drips that show up the moment the light hits them. We use the right tools and technique to get consistent, full coverage without the mess — and we protect your plants and hardscaping while we work.

We treat your fence as part of the whole picture. If you've got a stained deck or plan to, we can match tones so the backyard feels cohesive rather than like a collection of separate projects.

Fence Staining FAQs

Fence staining is usually priced by linear footage and the condition of the wood. Because fence sizes vary so widely, we provide a free, itemized quote after seeing it in person.

For the best protection and appearance we recommend staining both sides, since both are exposed to weather. We'll discuss options if only one side is yours to maintain.

Yes. Protecting new cedar early preserves that warm color and heads off weathering. Some new wood needs to dry first — we'll check and advise on timing.

Typically two to four years depending on sun and rain exposure, with south-facing runs weathering fastest. We'll suggest a maintenance schedule for your fence.

Always. We clean off dirt, mildew, and debris first so the stain adheres properly and the color comes out even.
