Heat, humidity, and frequent rain can wear down outdoor wood faster than many homeowners expect, especially across the Houston area. Fences and decks often fade, darken, or absorb moisture long before they should. We help Houston homeowners and property owners restore the look of their wood and protect it from ongoing Gulf Coast exposure through professional staining that’s built to last.
As a licensed and insured staining company, Stain Your Fence applies a proprietary acrylic wood stain that penetrates the wood rather than forming a surface layer. This allows us to reduce peeling, create more consistent color, and extend the life of the finish. Our experienced crew follows a streamlined process to restore outdoor surfaces with an even, natural-looking result that feels clean, refreshed, and well-protected.
Stain Your Fence is a family-owned company with a long history of working with homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Texas. Since 2007, our team has completed thousands of staining projects focused on protecting fences, decks, and outdoor structures through consistent workmanship and proven methods.
With more than 30,000 completed jobs, staining is what we do every day, not a secondary service. That experience guides how we evaluate each surface, select the right stain products, and apply finishes built to hold up over time in demanding Houston weather conditions.
A reliable finish starts with proper preparation, and we follow a clear, repeatable staining process on every project. Our approach is designed to improve durability, promote even color, and help prevent early wear so the finish holds up the way it should.
Every project starts with an on-site walkthrough where we assess the condition of the wood, identify any boards that need replacement, and review stain color options. Before we begin application, we make on-site color adjustments as needed to ensure the final look matches what you expect.
We thoroughly clean each surface to remove dirt, mildew, and buildup caused by humidity and rain. This step allows the stain to absorb evenly and bond properly with the wood for a more consistent finish.
Stain is applied in two layers to ensure consistent coverage and deeper protection. During application, our acrylic stain can be blended to match the selected color and maintain a uniform finish across the entire surface.
Houston homeowners often deal with moisture-related issues that can shorten the life of outdoor wood. From years of local work, we’ve seen how quickly untreated fences and decks absorb water and begin to break down. With the right stain and proper application, we help restore many surfaces instead of replacing them.
Stain Your Fence applies a proprietary staining product developed specifically for Texas climates to protect both new and weathered wood and concrete. Our before-and-after results show how effective professional staining can be, and scheduling a consultation is the next step for homeowners who want to keep their outdoor spaces protected and looking their best.
Is sealing the same as staining?
Sealing and staining are related but not identical. A sealer is usually clear and mainly blocks moisture. A stain provides moisture resistance as well, but it also contains pigment that helps protect wood from sun damage. In humid, high-sun areas like Houston, stain often provides more complete protection.
Does the color of the stain affect how much protection it provides?
Yes. Stains with more pigment generally offer better UV protection. Lighter or clear stains still help repel moisture but may need to be reapplied more often if the surface receives a lot of direct sunlight.
Can stain fix wood that is already rotting or warped?
No. Staining helps prevent future damage, but it does not repair wood that is already rotting, cracked, or severely warped. These issues are identified during the initial walkthrough so repairs can be made before staining begins.
Do I need to stain a brand-new fence?
Yes. Once new wood has had time to dry, staining helps seal out moisture and protect it from sun exposure. In Houston’s humid climate, early staining can reduce warping, cracking, and uneven aging, helping the fence last longer and look better over time.
