Sun exposure, moisture, and everyday wear can quickly take a toll on fences and decks, especially in Austin’s climate. Fading, dryness, and uneven color are common signs that outdoor wood needs attention. Instead of replacing worn surfaces, we help homeowners restore and protect their wood through professional staining designed to hold up in Texas conditions.
As a licensed and insured staining company, Stain Your Fence applies a proprietary acrylic wood stain that penetrates the wood rather than sitting on the surface. This allows us to reduce peeling, achieve more consistent color, and extend the life of the finish. With a clear, step-by-step process and an experienced team, we restore fences and decks with a smooth, even look that feels refreshed, protected, and well maintained.
Stain Your Fence is a family-owned staining company with years of hands-on experience serving homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Texas. Since 2007, our team has completed thousands of projects focused on protecting and improving fences, decks, and outdoor wood structures through consistent workmanship and reliable results.
With more than 30,000 completed jobs, staining is the core of what we do, not a side service. That experience guides how we select stain products, prepare surfaces, and apply finishes designed to hold up over time. Homeowners choose us for dependable service, fair pricing, and results they can count on.
A consistent process makes a difference in how long a finish lasts and how it looks over time. We follow a clear, proven staining process on every project to avoid uneven color, missed areas, and premature wear, with a strong focus on preparation and precision.
Every project begins with an on-site walkthrough where we inspect the condition of the wood, identify any boards that may need replacement, and discuss expectations. We review stain color options together and make on-site adjustments as needed to ensure the final color matches what was agreed on before application begins.
Before staining, we thoroughly clean all surfaces to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup caused by sun and moisture. Proper cleaning allows the stain to absorb evenly and bond with the wood, rather than sitting on the surface.
We apply stain in two layers to achieve consistent coverage and deeper penetration. During application, our acrylic stain can be blended as needed to ensure the final color looks uniform across the entire structure and matches the approved selection.
Austin homeowners turn to Stain Your Fence when fences, decks, and outdoor surfaces begin to look worn or weathered. From years of local work, we’ve seen how sun, heat, and moisture can impact wood and concrete faster than expected. With the right stain and careful application, we help restore many surfaces instead of replacing them.

Is sealing the same as staining?
Sealing and staining are related, but they are not the same. A sealer is usually clear and focuses mainly on blocking moisture. A stain does that too, but it also adds color and helps protect the wood from sun damage. In Texas heat, stain is often the better option because it shields the wood from both moisture and UV exposure, not just rain.
Does the color of the stain affect how much protection it provides?
Yes, color does play a role. Darker or more pigmented stains generally offer better protection from the sun because the pigments act like sunscreen for the wood. Lighter or clear stains still help repel moisture, but they may need to be reapplied more often if the fence gets a lot of direct sunlight. Choosing a color usually comes down to balancing the look you want with how much sun exposure your fence or deck gets.
Can stain fix wood that is already rotting or warped?
Stain helps prevent damage, but it does not repair wood that is already rotting or badly warped. If boards are soft, cracked, or twisted, they typically need to be replaced before staining. During the initial walkthrough, these problem areas are identified so repairs can be handled first and the finished stain looks even and lasts longer.
Do I need to stain a brand-new fence?
Yes, new fences benefit greatly from staining once the wood has had time to dry. Without protection, new wood quickly absorbs moisture and starts to fade, crack, or warp under the Texas sun. Staining early helps seal out water, reduce movement in the boards, and keep the fence looking uniform as it ages, saving on repairs later.
