Fence Staining in McKinney, TX

Stain is sunscreen for your fence
Unprotected cedar in Collin County turns gray within a year and can start cupping, cracking, and rotting within a few. Quality stain repels the rain that causes rot and blocks the UV rays that break down wood fibers — protecting an investment that costs thousands to replace.
Because we're painters first, we treat fence staining with the same discipline as a house repaint: proper cleaning, full drying time, careful application, and a final walkthrough with you before we call it done.
What affects fence staining cost in McKinney
Fence staining is quoted mainly by linear footage and height — a 6-foot privacy fence and an 8-foot board-on-board fence are very different jobs — and by whether you're staining one side or both. If you share the fence with neighbors, it's worth a conversation with them: splitting the cost of staining both sides protects the wood far better than one side alone.
Condition is the other big variable. A newer fence that just needs washing and stain costs less than one that's gone gray and needs heavy cleaning, board replacement, and re-securing. Stain choice matters too: semi-transparent stains are the popular middle ground, while solid stains cost a bit more in product but cover weathered wood most completely.
As with all our work, you'll get a detailed written quote up front, and we're happy to price options — like one side versus both, or two stain grades — so you can compare.
When to stain, and how to make it last
Stain needs dry wood and a dry forecast. New cedar fences should weather for a few weeks before their first stain so the wood can accept it, and after power washing we let the fence dry fully before application. We schedule around rain so the stain has time to penetrate and cure properly.
Once stained, maintenance is simple: rinse off dirt occasionally, keep sprinkler heads from soaking the same boards daily (a leading cause of premature graying on one section of fence), and plan on re-staining every 3–5 years. When water stops beading on the surface, the protection is wearing off — that's your signal, not a crisis.
We keep a record of the product and color used on your fence, so when it's time to refresh, the match is exact and the process is quick.
Fence staining questions
How often should I stain my fence in North Texas?
Most cedar fences in McKinney need re-staining every 3–5 years. If water no longer beads on the surface or the color has gone gray, it's time.
Transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stain?
Transparent shows the most grain with the least protection; semi-transparent balances natural grain with color and UV protection (the most popular choice for cedar); solid hides grain but covers weathered wood best. We'll help you choose during your free estimate.
Do you clean and repair the fence first?
Yes — we power wash, let the wood dry fully, replace damaged boards, and re-secure loose pickets before any stain goes on.
