Fence Staining: Northside-Northline, Harris County
Raw cedar and pine sealed — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches fence staining, and it does not change between the Northside-Northline 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 Northside-Northline
- 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 Northside-Northline 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 Northside-Northline home before the job is called done.
