Fence Staining: Central Southwest, Harris County
the Central Southwest area of Houston sits inside Harris County, and the housing stock changes street to street. We set the fence staining scope after looking at your house rather than off a price sheet, because Sprinkler overspray is a frequent cause of early failure on the lower boards.
Our Fence Staining scope in Central Southwest
- Fence washed and allowed to dry to a stainable moisture level
- Loose boards and popped nails addressed before stain
- Stain applied to both faces and along the top cap
- Posts and rails coated, not just pickets
Central Southwest is one of the City of Houston's designated super neighborhoods, which means city permitting and inspection rules apply rather than a suburban city's. We confirm what a given scope needs before work starts.
Four stages, every time: a free on-site look at your Central Southwest home, a written quote you can hold us to, the work itself done in sequence, and a final walkthrough where you sign off before we do.
