Fence staining in Northwest Arkansas
Stain protects wood from sun and moisture while keeping color consistent with your home and landscape. We prep older fences with pressure washing when needed, and finish most residential jobs quickly.
Serving Fayetteville, Springdale, Bentonville, Rogers, and all of Northwest Arkansas
Why stain your fence?
Wood left untreated in Northwest Arkansas sun and humidity will gray within a couple of years and can dry out faster on exposed faces. Staining adds a protective layer, evens color across pickets, and keeps a new fence looking intentional next to siding, stone, and plantings.
Timing matters as much as product choice. New pine needs weeks to dry before stain absorbs properly; older fences often need pressure washing first. We plan prep and dry time so the finish lasts, not just looks good the week it goes on.
Staining preparation and timing
The right prep and dry window determine how long your stain lasts. These are the decisions we walk through on every quote, whether the fence is brand new or has been weathering for years.
New wood dry time
New pressure-treated pine should dry about 45 to 60 days after installation before stain goes on. Cedar can often be stained sooner, but we still confirm the wood is ready so the finish penetrates instead of peeling.
Pressure wash older wood
Weathered fences benefit from pressure washing to remove gray fiber, dirt, and mildew. We schedule drying time after washing before stain is applied, which protects adhesion on fences that have been in the sun for years.
Color and protection
We help you choose tones that complement cedar, redwood, or pine and suit your home’s exterior. A quality stain slows UV graying, sheds water better, and keeps shared property lines looking uniform when neighbors coordinate color.
Gates built to match your fence
Our gates are custom built to match your fence, not a separate piece tacked on at the end.
Standard swinging gates. Single and double gates with pickets aligned to the fence run, plus hardware chosen for daily use and security needs.
Custom wood gates. Built to your width and height, including stepped pickets when grade changes between yards and customizable metal hardware to complement your wood finishes.
Metal gate frame options. A steel frame gate prevents sagging over time, prolonging the life of your gate. This pairs well with steel hinge posts.
What to expect on your project
We confirm whether your fence is new, weathered, or needs washing, then quote stain color and scope for panels, gates, and posts.
Most average-size residential fence stain jobs can be completed quickly once prep and dry time are complete. Pressure wash jobs may need some drying time before stain application.
We schedule around rain and humidity so the finish cures properly. You will get a clear window before we arrive on site.
