Do you take on small fence staining jobs?

We do. Small jobs done right are how most of our long-term Santa Fe customers found us, and many come back later for the bigger scopes.

Are you licensed and insured?

Licensed & Insured, with documentation available up front. Ask when we come out to Santa Fe for the walkthrough and we will bring it.

Do I need a permit for fence staining in Santa Fe?

Permit rules in Santa Fe are set by the city, and they differ from the unincorporated parts of Galveston County. Cosmetic work like painting rarely needs one; structural, plumbing and electrical work often does. We confirm what your scope requires before starting.

Do you cover Santa Fe?

Absolutely. Santa Fe work is routine for us, close enough that walkthroughs and callbacks fit into a normal route day.

What does fence staining actually include?

On a typical Santa Fe job it means posts and rails coated, not just pickets, with fence washed and allowed to dry to a stainable moisture level before it. The written quote spells out your exact scope.

How long will the work take?

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

How much does fence staining cost in Santa Fe?

Less than doing it twice. Seriously: condition drives the price, so we measure your Santa Fe job in person, quote it in writing, and let you compare us line by line.

Can you handle other work while you are here?

We would rather bundle it. If the fence staining exposes something adjacent that needs doing, we price it and let you decide.
