Your Hidden Valley Fence Staining Crew
Raw cedar and pine sealed — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches fence staining, and it does not change between the Hidden Valley area of Houston and anywhere else we work. What does change is the house: unsealed fence wood in this climate greys and cups within a couple of seasons, so the scope gets set on site.
Our Fence Staining scope in Hidden Valley
- Stain applied to both faces and along the top cap
- Posts and rails coated, not just pickets
- Fence washed and allowed to dry to a stainable moisture level
- Loose boards and popped nails addressed before stain
Weather sets the rhythm of this work along the Gulf Coast, and Hidden Valley is no exception: humidity stretches dry times, summer storms interrupt exterior schedules, and a crew that plans around both finishes on time. Unsealed fence wood in this climate greys and cups within a couple of seasons.
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 Hidden Valley home before the job is called done.
