FAQ
FAQ — Fence Painting & Staining
Stain or paint—what lasts longer in CT?
Stains penetrate and weather naturally; paint forms a film and looks more uniform. We recommend based on substrate, sun exposure and moisture.
How soon after washing can you stain or paint?
Once the fence dries to target moisture levels. This varies by weather and wood type, and we measure before coating.
Do you repair boards and posts?
Of course, minor carpentry and section swaps are done before finishing to avoid coating failure.
Can you match my HOA or existing color?
Yes, we color-match and advise on sheen and tone for a uniform look and HOA compliance.
How long does the job take?
Small sections: about 1 day. Typical yards: 2–4 days depending on prep, weather and number of coats.
Will you protect my plants and hardscape?
Yes, masking, drop cloths and spray control, plus tidy daily wrap-ups.
What about rust on iron fences?
We remove loose rust, treat remaining oxidation, apply anti-corrosive primer and finish with a durable topcoat.
When will I need maintenance again?
Annual inspection plus a light wash keeps finishes fresh. Recoat intervals vary by exposure and product.
Is there an odor concern?
We can specify low-odor, low-VOC systems with advance communication for pets and neighbors.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, 3-Year Written Warranty plus a Year-1 health check. We cover application defects and abnormal coating failures.
