Dickinson Fence Staining
Dickinson sits in Galveston County with 21,834 people across roughly 10.0 square miles, and housing stock varies street to street. Our fence staining scope is set after we look 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 Dickinson
- 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
With a 2023 Census estimate of 21,834 residents, Dickinson is large enough that we see the same construction eras repeat: subdivisions built in runs, with the same details failing in the same order. Unsealed fence wood in this climate greys and cups within a couple of seasons.
Set in Galveston County, Dickinson spans about 10.0 square miles with a population of 21,834 (2023 est.); League City sits 4.1 miles away and Santa Fe 5.2, both inside our coverage.
The process is deliberately boring. Estimate first, in person and free. Scope second, in writing. Then the fence staining itself, and finally a walk of the finished work with you at your Dickinson home before the job is called done.
