Your Richmond Fence Staining Crew
Richmond sits in Fort Bend County with 12,816 people across roughly 4.2 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.

- Transparent, semi-transparent or solid stain: coverage and lifespan differ
- 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
