"Do not go to this ?company? for a fence. This is the worst experience I have ever had. First of all the gate is ginormous. And they put 2 hinges on it thinking that would support the weight? I had this done in February and within a month I can not close the gate because it drags on the ground. I told Alton, the owner I guess, that the gate was too big and he blamed ME. He said I did not request a smaller gate. Last time I looked I was not a gate expert. The fence itself, within 2 weeks the boards started warping, see pics. After I complained he said he would come fix it because ?I am nice?. No, it is because he did not put a 4X4 along the bottom of the fence to tack it down so it would not warp. And, he never came back. Said he would come back and never did. Now I have to pay another guy to fix the fence. Alton said he would do it without labor costs, now I have to pay someone else. He is rude, condescending and has no skill to do this kind of work. Hire at your own risk. "

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts
You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.
Typically, you need one to two coats of stain for a fence. The number of coats you need can vary depending on the porosity of the type of wood. You can also apply an extra coat of stain if you want the color to look more saturated or to cover lap marks and patchy spots.
If you have the time and the budget, we strongly recommend staining your fence, especially if it's looking a bit tired or hasn't been treated recently. While you may not see the same return on investment (ROI) as you would with a project like a kitchen remodel, staining a fence is one of the best ways to add a facelift to your property—a new fence stain adds serious curb appeal to your home.
Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:
Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted
Scraping away loose paint
Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris
Caulking gaps and openings
Priming with a quality paint primer
Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish
Adding a second coat
Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths
Wood stain is not flammable after it dries. The solvent in wood stain is what causes the liquid form to be highly flammable, but the stain drying process involves the solvents dissolving, which leaves behind a non-flammable product on your wood project. Wood stain is, however, flammable before you apply it, so you should always store partially full cans and used wood stain rags away from sources of heat and open flames.
