Fence staining for Sturtevant homes

Most of our fence staining calls in Sturtevant come from homes with a compact village of post-war and newer homes. In practice that means treated-pine decks due for a first seal.

Much of Sturtevant is in Racine County, Wisconsin, where mature trees are the main issue: shade keeps wood damp and grows mildew on the north side. Cleaning is not optional here, and we brighten after so the tone comes back.

We stain fences of every length, from a 60-foot side yard to a 400-foot perimeter. Fences are sprayed for coverage and back-brushed for penetration, one side at a time, with the neighbor's side handled by agreement. Overspray protection for grass, beds, siding and vehicles is part of the job.

How the job goes in Sturtevant

  1. Measure and confirmLinear feet, height, both sides or one, gates, and the stain tone. We check whether a neighbor's side is included.
  2. CleanA wood cleaner and low-pressure rinse remove gray, mildew and mill glaze. New fences get a light wash to open the grain.
  3. ProtectGrass, garden beds, siding, AC units and cars within range are covered or shielded. We work around the wind.
  4. Spray and back-brushSprayed for speed, then brushed in panel by panel so the stain penetrates and there are no runs or holidays.

Sturtevant fence staining FAQ

How soon can a new cedar fence be stained?

Once the mill glaze is washed off and the wood is dry, usually two to eight weeks after installation. Pressure-treated fences need longer, often three to six months, until water soaks in rather than beading.

Do you stain both sides of the fence?

We can. Many homeowners do their side only, or split the cost with a neighbor. Both sides gives the longest life because it seals the wood all the way around.

How far in advance should I book fence staining in Sturtevant?

Two to four weeks in spring and early fall, which are the busiest windows. Midsummer usually has more availability. Text photos and your town and we will give you a date with the quote.

Do you charge extra to come to Sturtevant?

Sturtevant is just over the state line from our Zion-area work, and it is inside our normal service radius. No separate travel charge for Sturtevant.
