How a fence project runs

  1. Free estimate

    We measure the fence, check its condition and recommend a stain color.

  2. Clean

    Depending on condition, a soft pressure wash or a brush-down to remove cobwebs, dust, insects and light dirt. Loose boards fixed.

  3. Protect

    Everything on or near the fence is masked: house walls, concrete, stones, landscaping, handles, hinges, mailboxes, house numbers.

  4. Moisture check

    We measure the wood moisture and stain only at the right level, so the stain soaks in and lasts.

  5. Stain

    Even coat on every board, top to bottom.

  6. Clean up

    Covers removed, drips cleaned off walkways and plants, debris hauled away.

  7. Walkthrough

    We walk the fence with you.

Aslan did a great job. We have a fairly long fence (500 ft) and he did an excellent job staining it. Responsive, on time, and good to work with. Definitely recommend.

Aslan at Zele Exterior Painting did an amazing job power washing our fence, front and back yards and also repairing and staining the fence. Aslan had a professional approach and attended to it personally from start to end; from his quote to being punctual and managing daily work, time and communication regarding everything. I recommended him to couple of my friends and they were happy with his work too. Highly recommended him for both interior and exterior paint work!

Questions

Fence staining questions

How much does fence staining cost?

From $14 to $22 per linear foot, depending on the height, style and condition of the fence and whether we stain one or both sides.

Should a new fence be stained right away?

New cedar usually needs a few weeks to dry before it takes stain well. We check the moisture before we start.

Do you stain the neighbor's side?

Yes, with their permission. We can talk to your neighbor with you.

How long does fence stain last?

Typically 3–5 years on vertical boards in our climate, longer on shaded sides.
