Fence Staining in Greater Heights, Texas
Most fence staining problems we get called out to in the Greater Heights area of Houston trace back to preparation rather than product. Unsealed fence wood in this climate greys and cups within a couple of seasons. That is where our time goes on a Harris County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.

What fence staining costs in Greater Heights
If three Harris County contractors quote your fence staining and the numbers are far apart, these variables are almost always why. Knowing them helps you compare quotes like a pro — including ours.
- One side or both sides, plus posts, rails and the top cap
- Linear feet and height: an 8-foot privacy fence carries far more surface
- Repairs first: loose boards and popped nails get fixed before sealing
- How much cleaning and drying time the wood needs before stain
Why Greater Heights homeowners call JM Painting
JM Painting & Remodeling has been doing this work for 20+ years, and the way we run a Greater Heights job reflects it: the scope goes in writing before we start, the preparation is priced as part of the work instead of skipped to win the bid, and nothing gets added without your approval.
One number, one crew, one standard: you get a direct line to the people doing the work at your Greater Heights home, not a call center, and the person who quoted the job is reachable until the punch walk is signed off.

- Depends on the scope, and we put the number of working days in your written quote rather than guessing on the phone. Greater Heights weather can shift exterior schedules, and we say so up front.
