Fence Painting/Staining Menifee, CA

Initial Consultation

The process starts when our project manager meets with you at your home in Menifee for a free consultation. We’ll walk your property to examine the current state of your fence. This allows us to determine the necessary steps to prep and finish the wood properly.

During the consult, we’ll discuss:

• Type of fence material – wood, vinyl, metal, etc. Paint vs. stain options depend on material.
• Condition of existing finish – checking for cracking, peeling, staining, mold/mildew, damage, etc.
• Your desired results – color/finish, sheen level, special decorative techniques if requested.
• Purpose for the project – maintenance, weatherproofing, aesthetics, etc. This helps guide product recommendations.
• Timeframe – when you need the project completed and our current schedule availability.
• Access points to the fence and any special needs like a neighbor notification.
• Budget – we provide a written estimate tailored to your specific job.

This meeting allows us to gain a deep understanding of your unique needs so we can deliver a personalized fence painting/staining solution.

Prepping the Surface

Proper prep work makes all the difference for a long-lasting finish. Our team takes the time do it right by:

• Removing any loose, cracked or peeling paint/stain using scrapers, sanders, wire brushes. We’ll sand down to a smooth uniform surface.
• Cleaning away dirt, mildew and other contaminants with pressure washing and specialty cleaners as needed.
• Sealing knots, sap streaks and tannin bleed areas on wood with primer/sealer so they don’t cause staining later.
• Filling any holes, splits, or gaps with appropriate wood filler for a flawless finished appearance.
• Lightly sanding/deglossing intact areas to help the new coat properly adhere.
• Masking off any nearby structures like your home, plants or concrete to keep them stain-free.

We don’t take shortcuts on surface prep. This gives the finish coat the proper foundation to maximize adhesion and durability.

Finish Coat Application

Next our painters use their artistic skills to apply the new finish coat you selected. We use premium quality stains and paints that resist fading, cracking, peeling and mold growth. Options include:

Wood stains – We offer different opacities (transparent, semi-transparent, semi-solid, solid) and sheen levels from flat to gloss. Stains protect the wood while showing off its natural grain. They need reapplied every 2-4 years.

Paint – This opaque coating hides wood grain to achieve a uniform look. It lasts longer than stain before needing touched up – typically 4-6 years. We have any color you desire.

Specialty finishes – In addition to standard stains and paint, we can do antique staining, whitewashing, pickling, distressing, color washing or other custom effects you want.

Our painters apply the finish coat with proper brushing techniques and backbrushing to prevent drips, runs, and sags from forming. We use premium application tools and take great care around fences, plants, and other obstacles. If spraying, we properly shield nearby surfaces from overspray.

We check weather conditions and only apply finishes when humidity, dewpoint, and temperatures allow. This prevents bubbling, cracking, and other flaws.

If doing multiple coats, we sand lightly between each one for maximum adhesion. We also follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for dry time between coats.

Job Site Clean Up

The last step our crew performs is a thorough clean up. We collect all debris from the prep work and finish job. We sweep surrounding areas to remove any spilled stain or paint.

And we remove all equipment, leftover materials, and trash from your property. The only thing left behind is your renewed fence!

We know how important it is to keep your landscape orderly throughout the duration of the project. You can count on us to work carefully and keep the space clean each day before leaving.

By following this detailed process with care and expertise, we can deliver professional fence painting or staining results that will have your property looking its very best. Contact us today to revitalize your fence with a fresh new protective finish!
