Fence Staining FAQ
Common Questions
Does fence staining include both sides?
Yes, standard fence staining pricing includes both sides of the fence. Staining only one side will cause uneven weathering and is not recommended.
Should I clean my fence before staining?
Yes, the fence should be pressure washed or cleaned before staining to remove dirt, mildew, and old stain residue. Most professional staining services include this in their prep.
Can a new fence be stained right away?
New cedar fences should dry for 2-4 weeks before staining to allow moisture to escape. Staining too soon can trap moisture and cause premature failure.
Types & Options
What is the difference between stain and paint for a fence?
Stain penetrates the wood and lets the grain show through, while paint sits on top and covers the grain. Stain is lower maintenance and does not peel, making it the preferred choice for most fences.
What type of stain is best for cedar fences?
Semi-transparent oil-based stains are the most popular for cedar in North Texas. They protect the wood while letting the natural grain and color show through.
How much does fence staining cost in North Texas?
Check the Fair Price Guide on HomeRepairRates.com for current pricing. Staining up to 100 linear feet typically starts around $700, with larger fences priced accordingly.
How often should I stain my fence in Texas?
Every 2-3 years is recommended in the DFW area. The hot sun and occasional storms break down stain faster here than in milder climates.
