Process

How a job actually runs.

  • 01 See the wood. We walk the fence, check moisture, and quote a firm number. Oil-based stain wants wood under 13% moisture.
  • 02 Prep that actually matters. If the fence has greyed, weathered, or molded, we wash it. Stain on dirty wood does not last.
  • 03 Even, deep color. Penetrating stain, applied for coverage without drips or holidays. You get the color you picked, fence-wide.

FAQ

Fence staining, answered.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are SC licensed and carry liability insurance. Certificate of insurance is available on request. License RBS 66117.

How often should I stain my fence?

In Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, and Duncan we usually recommend every 3 to 4 years. It depends on stain type, sun, and the wood. Some finishes run 2 to 6 years.

What is the best time of year to stain a fence?

Spring and fall, with moderate temperatures (about 50 to 85°F) and lower humidity. Always follow the stain manufacturer’s temperature range. We also stain in cooler weather with oil-based products when the wood is ready.

How long does fence stain take to dry?

In the Upstate, most stains dry and cure in 24 to 48 hours. Oil-based takes longer than water-based. Leave it alone while it cures.

Should I stain or paint my fence?

For most wood fences here, oil-based stain is the better call. It soaks in instead of sitting as a film, so it is less likely to peel and crack in our sun and humidity.

Do I need to clean my fence before staining?

If it has started to grey, weather, or mold, yes. We soft-wash aged wood before stain so the finish lasts.

How long should I wait to stain a new fence?

Stain as soon as the moisture is right. After mill oils dry out, wood starts to crack, twist, grey, and mold. We check with a moisture meter. Below 13% is ready for oil-based stain.

How much does it cost to stain a fence?

In the Greenville-Spartanburg area, professional fence staining often runs about $0.85 to $1.50 per square foot depending on style, prep, stain, and access. You get a flat number for your fence, not a guess.
