Fence staining and sealing in Katy

Wood in Katy takes sun, rain and humidity. A stain or sealer protects it and sets the color. Many HOAs also require one, so the choice is often made for you.

New wood

New cedar or pine has moisture and mill glaze that affect how stain soaks in. Ask when to apply it. Some finishes are applied right away, others after the wood dries.

Existing fences

Older fences need cleaning first. Gray, weathered wood may be brightened before it is stained. Ask what prep is included.

Color and HOA

Some HOAs specify approved stain colors. Ask before you buy. See the HOA guide.

Upkeep

Most fences need re-coating every few years. Ask what schedule the product recommends.

Colors and availability

We stain fences in a variety of colors. Tell us the color you have in mind, or the color your HOA requires, when you request an estimate.

How an estimate works

1. 1
   Tell us about the job

   Call, text, use the form or book online. Include your street or community.

2. 2
   We look at the site

   We check the fence line, grade, gates, access and any HOA or city needs.

3. 3
   You get an itemized estimate

   Material, height, gates and scope in writing.

4. 4
   Approval and scheduling

   If your HOA or city needs to approve the fence, that comes first. Most fence projects take one to two days once scheduled, and pool fences one to three days.

5. 5
   Build and final walk-through

   We install, clean up and walk it with you.

What to ask on the estimate

• Product and color
• Prep: cleaning or brightening
• Number of coats
• Whether it is included in a new fence quote
• HOA color approval
