Fence Painting/Staining Boulder

At Fencing Boulder, our fence painting and staining process is designed to provide your fence with a beautiful, long-lasting finish. Here is what you can expect when you hire us:

Inspection and Prep Work

The first step in the fence painting/staining process is a thorough inspection and prep work. Our team will examine your existing fence to look for any damage, decay or other issues that need to be addressed prior to painting or staining.

We may recommend fence repairs in some cases. We will also wash the fence with a power washer and let it dry completely before beginning the painting or staining process. Proper prep work helps ensure excellent adhesion and longevity of the finish.

Applying Paint Primer

If your fence is being painted, the next step is applying a high-quality primer designed specifically for exterior wood. Priming is a very important part of the paint process, as it seals the wood, allowing for enhanced adhesion and protection from the topcoat of paint.

We use premium primers from leading brands like Sherwin Williams and Behr. The primer is applied using brush, pad or sprayer depending on the specifics of your project.

Stain Prep for New Fences

For new fences being stained for the first time, we prepare the surface by lightly sanding to ensure proper penetration and adhesion of the stain. This opens up the wood grain so the stain can really soak in for a long-lasting finish.

Stain Prep for Previously Stained Fences

If we are staining a fence that has been previously stained, we first use a deck brightener/cleaner to remove any existing finish and properly prepare the surface. Deck brightener opens up the wood pores for excellent stain penetration.

Applying Paint or Stain Finish Coats

Once prep work is complete, your fence is ready for the finish coats of paint or stain. We use only the highest quality paints and stains designed specifically for fencing. Paint is applied in at least two finish coats, allowing proper dry time between coats.

Stain is applied with brush, pad or sprayer depending on the project. We ensure full, even coverage across the entire fence. The end result is a beautifully uniform finish that revitalizes the look of your fence.

Clean Up

Finally, we complete the job by cleaning up any mess and debris. We take care to leave your property looking neat and tidy when the fence painting or staining project is complete. The only thing left behind is your gorgeous, refreshed fence!

Optional Clear Protective Topcoat (Stain Jobs)

For stained fences, we highly recommend applying an additional clear topcoat after the stain has fully cured. The clear topcoat adds another layer of UV protection and waterproofing.

This prevents premature fading and weathering, extending the life of the stain finish significantly. The topcoat is fast-drying and adds little time/cost to the project. Just let us know if you would like us to apply this protective topcoat following the stain application.

As you can see, our fence painting and staining process is designed for maximum durability, aesthetics and longevity. Let our experts handle your project the proper way from start to finish. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed when you hire Fencing Boulder.
