Strong sun, dry heat, and sudden weather changes can wear down outdoor wood quickly in San Antonio. Fences and decks often lose color, dry out, or start to look uneven well before their time. Professional staining helps restore the appearance of wood while adding protection against ongoing exposure. Stain Your Fence works with San Antonio homeowners and property owners who want durable results that make sense for South 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, create more even color, and help finishes last longer. Our team follows a clear, step-by-step process to restore fences and outdoor wood with a smooth, natural-looking finish that feels clean, refreshed, and well-protected.
Stain Your Fence is a family-owned staining company with years of hands-on experience working with homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Texas. Since 2007, our team has completed thousands of projects focused on protecting and maintaining fences, decks, and outdoor structures.
With more than 30,000 completed projects, staining is the core of what we do. That experience guides how we evaluate each surface, select the right stain products, and apply finishes built to hold up in hot, dry climates like San Antonio.
Consistent results come from careful preparation and a repeatable process. Each project follows clear steps designed to improve durability and avoid uneven color or early wear.
Every project starts with an on-site walkthrough where we assess the condition of the wood, identify any boards that need replacement, and talk through stain color options. Before we begin, we adjust colors on-site as needed to make sure the final look matches what you expect.
Surfaces are cleaned to remove dirt, dust, and buildup caused by heat and exposure. 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 provide consistent coverage and deeper protection. During application, the acrylic stain can be blended to match the approved color and keep the finish uniform across the entire structure.
San Antonio homeowners regularly deal with intense sun exposure that causes fading, dryness, and cracking in fences and decks over time. From years of local work, we’ve seen how quickly untreated wood can break down without proper protection. With the right stain and careful application, many outdoor surfaces can be restored rather than replaced.
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 the difference professional staining can make, and scheduling a consultation is the first step toward keeping your outdoor spaces looking well-maintained and protected year-round.
Is sealing the same as staining?
Sealing and staining are related but not the same. A sealer is typically clear and focuses mainly on moisture protection. A stain provides moisture resistance as well, but it also contains pigment that helps protect wood from sun damage. In hot climates like San Antonio, stain often offers more complete protection.
Does the color of the stain affect how much protection it provides?
Yes. Stains with more pigment generally offer stronger UV protection. Lighter or clear stains still help repel moisture but may need more frequent reapplication if the surface gets heavy sun exposure.
Can stain fix wood that is already rotting or warped?
No. Stain helps prevent future damage but does not repair boards that are already rotting or badly 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. After new wood has had time to dry, staining helps protect it from sun exposure and moisture. In San Antonio’s climate, staining early can reduce cracking, fading, and uneven aging, helping the fence last longer and look better over time.
