How many hours does it take to stain a fence?

• <div><p>It typically takes three to five days to stain a fence, though most of that time is spent—literally—watching paint dry. The main issue is that you can’t stain a wet fence because the stain won’t sink into the porous grain of the wood. That means you’ll need to wait 24 hours to stain your fence after you wash it and 12 to 24 hours between each coat. Most people spend about an hour staining per 10 to 20 linear feet. </p></div>

Q: How often does a fence need to be painted?

• <div><p>You should repaint your fence every <b>1 to 3 years</b>, depending on the appearance of wear and tear. Weather and usage will factor into how often you should paint another coat on your fence. If you need to replace a few fence boards or posts, you may want to consider repainting the fence to help protect the rest of the fence as well as the new pieces against damage and deterioration from being exposed to the elements.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you stain over stain?

• <div><p>Sometimes, you can apply a new stain over an old one, but the outcome depends on the deck's condition and whether the stains are compatible. For the best results, ensure the old stain surface is clean, smooth, and in good condition, and always test for compatibility before committing.</p></div>

Q: How do you prevent a fence from becoming dirty?

• <div><p>To prevent a fence from becoming dirty, hose it down weekly and after every time you mow the lawn. This will prevent algae from being able to feed on grass clippings. You should also wash your fence once per season and trim plants so they don&rsquo;t touch it. As a precautionary measure, you can treat your fence with a coating of a mold prevention product.</p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as gutter painting?

• <div><p>Most gutter painting pros also specialize in complete home exterior painting. You may save by making your gutter painting part of the cost to paint the exterior of a house in its entirety. Many people have all parts of their home exterior painted simultaneously to keep everything looking equally fresh. Consider having walls, trim, porches, shutters, and doors painted as well.</p></div>

They are very knowledgeable about land jobs! I had trails cut and they did a great job. I am having them build a small pond for my horses. They are experienced with that as well. Then they are putting up a boarder wood fence on my small farm. So yes, I like and trust them!
