Process We Follow for Fence Painting/Staining
We take great care to prep and paint your wood or metal fence properly. Our systematic process ensures a quality makeover that lasts.
Initial Consultation
- The project starts when we meet at your home for an initial assessment. We’ll walk your property with you, examining the current state of your fences.
- Together we discuss your vision for the refreshed look. What areas need attention? Do you want just a basic protective coat of stain? Or a bolder custom color paint job?
- We assess factors like sun exposure, moisture issues, needed repairs and more to develop the right renewal plan.
- After the consult, we provide a detailed quote outlining the scope of work and cost.
Prepping the Surface
Proper prep work makes all the difference for great, long lasting results. Our thorough process includes:
- First we mask off any nearby structures, plants or items that shouldn’t get painted/stained.
- Next we power wash the fencing using specialized cleaners to remove dirt, mildew and chalky residue from old paint.
- We may need to lightly sand to smooth any remaining rough areas. Sanding also helps new paint adhere properly.
- We replace any rotten boards or make structural repairs as needed.
- Finally, we go back and carefully caulk gaps or holes to protect the wood beneath.
Painting/Staining
Applying the right coating completes the renewal process:
- For painting metal fences, we apply a primer first to maximize adhesion and corrosion resistance.
- For wood fences, we may apply a wood preservative to protect from moisture damage.
- We apply your choice of topcoat paint, solid stain or semi-transparent stain. Multiple coats ensure full, even coverage.
- Paint dries to a sleek, glossy finish that really pops. Stain enhances the natural wood grain while allowing some texture to show through.
- We use only the highest quality Behr and Sherwin Williams coatings to maintain vibrancy for years.
Finishing Touches
Before calling the project complete, we always take time to finish strong:
- Once products have dried thoroughly, we remove the protective masking from nearby surfaces.
- We do a final walk through to catch any small missed spots and touch up as needed.
- We clean up all debris from the job and haul it away so you aren’t left with a mess.
- Providing excellent service is our top priority. We want you totally thrilled with how your renewed fence looks.

FAQs About Fence Painting/Staining in Dearborn in Michigan
Should you paint or stain a fence?
- Stain allows more wood texture to show through while protecting from moisture. We suggest stain for newer fences in good condition.
- Paint provides a smooth, opaque coat that fully covers wood. It works better for older, weathered fences that need concealing.
How long does a fence paint/stain job take?
Most projects take 2-4 days total depending on size. Prepping and staining take more time than painting. Allow products to fully cure for several days before touching fences.
How long does fence paint or stain last?
On average, expect paint to last 5-8 years, stain 3-5 years. Lifespan varies based on quality of prep work, products used and local weather conditions. Re-coat before paint starts cracking or peel to maximize longevity.
Should fences be stained when wet or dry?
Wood moisture content impacts absorption. Staining wet wood seals in excess moisture which can cause peeling. Wait at least 48 hours after rain or power washing to start.
What temperature is best for staining fences?
Ideally apply stains when temps stay between 50-90° F for 24 hours. Extreme heat or cold inhibits proper drying. Avoid staining in direct sun which can cause lap marks.
How do you get old fence paint off?
We use power washing with special cleaners to remove aged paint safely without damaging wood. Avoid torching – extreme heat cracks wood. Scraping takes forever and risks splinters.
What sheen is best for outdoor fence paint?
Satin or low luster sheens withstand weather best. Glossy shows marks more. Flat has no shine and lacks durability. Satin provides a nice compromise – slight shine but hides scuffs.
Can you use interior paint on outdoor fences?
No! Interior paints lack key protectants so they’ll peel and fade rapidly outside. Always use exterior-grade fence paints or wood coatings formulated for outdoor use.
How do you fix paint bleeding through fence stain?
Dark pigments in paints can cause “bleed through” when staining over them. Using an oil-based primer prevents this. Or switch to a solid stain which blocks stains altogether.
How often should you paint wood fences?
On average, expect to repaint wood fences every 5-8 years. Staining may be needed more often. Routinely inspect for fading or cracks. Touch up spots as needed to maintain protective barrier.
