If you have ever wondered about fence staining cost you are in the right place. The answer is, it depends. It depends on a lot of variables such as the age of the fence, size of the fence, how many obstacles that the staining company will have to navigate while staining. You see, when staining a fence the most important thing is not staining everything else! In order to do that, special processes are used to keep stain off of concrete, windows, out of pools, off of plants etc. The more of these “obstacles” you have the more your project will likely be. You may say, well I don’t want to pay very much. If that is the case, be prepared to have many of your belongings and your neighbors for that matter ruined. If you think it is expensive to hire a professional, all you need to do is hire an amateur one time! In the end however, it is not really all that expensive and it will save you thousands over the life of the fence in costly repairs, wood decay, warping, splitting and cracking. The best way to find out how much it is, will be to have a professional give you an free estimate.

There is no need for you to be home when we complete the work unless you want to be.  As long as we can get in the yard we can complete the job and will email you an invoice once you have inspected our work and are happy with it.

There are many home owners who stain their fence because it improves their properties curb appeal. While it does improve the look, staining your fence can actually be a wise investment that will save you money in the long run by increasing the life of your fence. By staining your fence with our quality stains you will protect your investment from the harsh Oklahoma environment, U.V. rays, mold, and mildew growth, while virtually eliminating all wood warping as your fence ages.  Keeping your wood fence stained with an oil based stain keeps moisture out of the wood which prevents it from the harsh freeze thaw cycle that causes wood to split and crack.

All of Standard Paints Wood Defender® stains have a 2 to 3 year warranty depending on the type of product selected. The warranty that comes with all of our stains has actually been tested and is based on extreme climates like Texas, Oklahoma and Florida, where some of the highest humidity and U.V. ray measurements have been recorded. You can feel confident, as we do, that all of our stains last well beyond the manufactures warranty period. Here in our Oklahoma climate the Semi-Transparent Stains generally holds up between 4 to 5 years, and the Transparent Stain between 2 to 3 years. By setting up a maintenance program with Patriot Stain and Seal we can increase the life of your fence, deck, or pergola indefinitely!

Patriot Stain and Seal only uses the highest quality commercial grade stains from Wood Defender® which are not available at any of the local home improvement warehouses. Wood Defender® stains are all deep penetrating oil based products that protect your lumber from the inside out. We offer two completely separate products that are uniquely and specifically formulated for their end use. One formula is specially designed for fences and the other formula for contact surfaces such as decks and play ground equipment. Both of these highly durable uniquely designed staining formulas leave a uniform finish with absolutely no drips, runs, or lap marks visible, we guarantee it! The common products sold and used by most do it yourself home owners are not oil based and do not penetrate into the lumber. Unfortunately this makes these products extremely difficult to work with and merely puts a surface film on the wood similar to a paint. This explains why these surface film forming stains peel, blister, and crack within a short period of time after their application. If you are interested in staining your own fence or deck, we supply all of the stains shown on our color charts.

The finished result will NOT vary between 34 and 110 degrees making staining here in central Oklahoma possible in nearly every week of every year. When it comes to a successful staining application, we focus on moisture more than temperature. As long as the core of the wood is not frozen (above 34 degrees for one to two hours before the application) the wood can receive a successful treatment. All wood has a natural moisture content to it, and if frozen will prevent the proper penetration of the stain. More about moisture: We will never stain a wet fence due to rain, sleet, heavy fog, or snow. The wood needs a full 24 hours to dry out in most cases. That’s why we always recommend turning your sprinklers off the day before we are scheduled to stain your fence. How long does the stain need to be on my fence or deck before it can get wet? Although we try to schedule jobs so that you get 12 to 24 hours of dry time, the truth is that it can rain 30 minutes after the end of the application with no ill effects. The stain only requires 30 minutes to soak into the wood to be completely sealed and weatherproof. This is backed by and guaranteed from the manufacture with no additional fence staining cost.

Wood is organic. Mother Nature has a way of recycling all of her organic material, it’s called decay. The gray that shows up in the wood is mold and mildew rotting the structure away right before our eyes! The best time to stain and protect a fence, deck, or pergola is shortly after it’s been installed which also saves fence staining cost. By sealing it up before Mother Nature sets in, you can avoid the deterioration process all together and extend the life of your fence, deck, or pergola indefinitely! If left untreated your lumber will turn gray within a few short months (the average gray time is 12 to 16 months depending on how much moisture the wood encounters). The life of an untreated fence will run anywhere from 5 to 7 years (on average) before replacement becomes necessary. A well taken care of fence, deck, or pergola will maintain its integrity throughout the homeowners lifetime.

Your fence, deck, or pergola can be cleaned and restored to it’s natural wood color. See our before and after page for pictures of this procedure. This process will remove all of the built up mildew and mold growth and allow us to stain the wood as if it were new. Some people use power/pressure washers to achieve this, but we prefer to carefully apply bleach for the cleaning of all aged structures. The chlorine solution is far less abrasive and allows us to get a better end result after the staining is complete. We have also found that using power/pressure washers at 2700-3500 psi significantly damages the wood by raising the grain, leaving streaks in the wood, and causes the structure to have pulp on the exterior that leaves an undesirable finish. Pressure washing is also very time consuming and adds unnecessary fence staining cost. This high pressure also pumps moisture into the pores which is the source of mold and mildew growth causing further damage. The proper cleaning and preparation of the woods surface is a crucial step in obtaining the desired look after the staining has been completed.

After proper cleaning of the aged boards we can bring them back to their natural state and make them blend well with the new boards. We strongly recommend the Semi-Transparent Fence Stains on any structure that requires cleaning or has had any repairs so that a uniform appearance can be achieved without adding fence staining cost. When the warranty has expired and we want another coat applied, will you have to strip the stain in order to apply a second coat? No… All of these products utilize a modified oil formula that enhances penetration and does not leave a surface film. The lack of a film on the surface of the wood makes re-coats a snap. In many circumstances if the stain is in good condition on the fence there will be absolutely no prep work required for a re-spray. The ease of re-coats allows Patriot Stain and Seal to establish a fence maintenance program with our customers, returning every three to six years to re-spray the fence.
