University Place Fence Staining
Raw cedar and pine sealed — that is the short version of how JM Painting approaches fence staining, and it does not change between the University Place 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.
