Our Fence Staining and Sealing Services

Complete Protection Assessment and Preparation

Our Boise fence staining services begin with a thorough assessment of your wood fence condition, identifying areas requiring special attention, such as weathered boards, gate hardware, or previous coating failures. We evaluate wood species, existing finishes, and environmental exposure to develop a customized protection plan that maximizes durability and aesthetic results.

Our fence staining services utilize premium coating systems designed specifically for Idaho's challenging climate conditions. We offer semi-transparent stains that enhance natural wood grain while providing excellent protection, solid stains for maximum coverage and durability, and clear sealers that preserve natural wood appearance. Each system includes UV inhibitors, moisture protection, and anti-mildew additives specifically formulated for Treasure Valley weather conditions.

Maintenance Planning and Warranty Protection

We provide maintenance recommendations based on wood type, fencing exposure, and coating systems used to allow for optimal protection. Detailed care instructions paired with maintenance scheduling significantly boost fence life, and we offer comprehensive warranties on materials, workmanship, and maintenance that services stained fences.

Wood Species and Stain Selection Guide

Cedar Fence Staining and Protection

Cedar fencing remains one of the most sought-after fence styles because of its beauty and natural resistance to decay. However, this fencing still needs to be stained and sealed to keep its beauty and durability in Boise's climate. Our process starts with light pressure washing to remove surface dirt without harming the wood's natural surface. We apply high-grade, semi-transparent, and moisture-resistant stains that also protect from UV damage, deepening cedar's distinctive grain patterns.

For newly installed cedar fences, we advise waiting 3 to 6 months to apply initial staining as weathering during this period increases the likelihood of stain absorption. Established cedar fencing benefits from our restoration process that includes light sanding, weathered surface stain, and fiber to enhance adhesion. Our cedar protection systems are designed to perform excellently in Treasure Valley conditions, usually lasting 3 to 4 years.

Pine and Pressure-Treated Wood Staining

Pine and pressure-treated lumber are two types of wood that need specialized approaches when it comes to staining and meticulous attention because of their absorption traits and chemical treatments. We employ a custom-formulated penetrating stain created specifically for treated lumber to ensure its absorption and long-term protection. Pressure-treated wood and treated lumber also need to be adapted to a drying period, which in this case, is between 6 to 12 months.

Pine fences greatly benefit from the application of solid stains. This is especially true for fences exposed to UV radiation and fluctuating moisture levels in Idaho. For pine woods, we utilize special primer coats to ensure all areas are covered and increase the longevity of the coating. This helps, especially in pine’s varying density traits.

Redwood and Exotic Wood Protection

Investment-grade woods such as redwood and exotic hardwoods are also available, and we offer specialized staining to maintain beauty and provide the necessary protection. Because of the nature of these woods, special custom stains are needed that ensure a high-quality finish and penetration. With us, you can be sure that high-value wood species are well guarded and well cared for.

How often should I stain and seal my fence in Boise?

Every 2 to 3 years is the recommended time for sealing and staining wooden fences in Idaho, plus taking into consideration the type and brand of coating used. This is also the case for the fence’s exposure conditions and the wood species used, as well. Cedar and redwood tend to have a little more leeway in increasing time before maintenance, while softer woods like pine need more frequent upkeep. Our professional advice is available for your fence’s evaluation.

What's the difference between staining and sealing?

Staining enhances the wood’s natural appeal by adding color and protects it, while sealing creates a barrier that can either be tinted or fully clear, protecting the wood. Most fence staining projects incorporate both stain and seal for the best beauty and protection. We can recommend the best approach for you based on your wood type, type of seal you’d like, and aesthetics.

Can you stain my fence if it was previously painted?

Yes, but only if you fully remove the paint first, as stain won’t be able to penetrate painted surfaces. We provide stain removal services that include paint removal, pressure washing, appropriate removal techniques, wood conditioning, and staining.

How long does the staining process take?

Most residential fence staining projects require 2-3 days, including pressure washing, drying time, preparation, and stain application. Weather conditions and fence size affect timing. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and coordinate scheduling to minimize disruption to your yard activities.

Do you provide warranties on staining work?

Yes, we provide a comprehensive warranty covering both materials and workmanship for our fence staining services. Warranty terms vary based on coating type and application conditions, typically ranging from 2 to 5 years. We also offer maintenance programs to help maximize your investment in fence protection.

What happens if the weather affects my staining project?

We closely monitor weather conditions and will reschedule if they aren’t optimal for fence staining. Proper application requires specific temperature and humidity ranges, and we never compromise quality for convenience. Our flexible scheduling ensures your project is completed under ideal conditions.
