Fence Staining in Chalmette
Fencing Chalmette — Fence Staining services in Chalmette
Staining protects wood fencing from sun and rain and brings the color back out. We do this on new wood that's never been treated and on older fences that have gone gray. It's outdoor work, so we watch the weather and plan around it.
What fence staining involves
- Wash the wood: We pressure wash the fence to strip off dirt, mildew, and any old flaking stain before we touch it with anything new.
- Let it dry: Wood needs to dry out fully after washing, usually a day or two depending on sun and humidity, before stain will take.
- Sand and spot-repair: We knock down rough or splintered boards and reset any loose nails so the stain goes on an even surface.
- Apply the stain: We brush or spray on the stain in the number of coats the wood needs, working panel by panel so coverage stays even.
When you need it
- The wood has turned gray or silvery instead of its original color.
- Water soaks straight into the boards instead of beading up.
- You can see mildew spots or dark streaking on the panels.
- The surface feels dry and splintery when you run a hand along it.
What changes the job
Cost and time depend on how much wood there is, how it's laid out, and what condition it's in. A fence that's never been stained takes less prep than one with old peeling stain to strip off. Shaded sections often have mildew we have to treat; sections in full sun tend to be drier and more weathered. Low plantings or sprinklers right against the fence slow down the washing and drying stages.
