Staining is often preferred because it penetrates the wood and will not peel or flake like paint can over time. However, if you want a specific color to match your home’s trim, a high-quality exterior paint can provide a beautiful, solid look.
Most new pressure-treated wood needs a few months to weather and dry out before it can accept stain or paint. We can test the moisture levels of your new fence to determine the exact time it is ready for treatment.
Depending on the product used and the amount of sun exposure, a professional stain typically lasts two to four years, while a high-quality paint can last even longer. We recommend regular maintenance to keep the wood protected indefinitely.
