Ordonez put up my fence quickly; it looks great, and reasonably priced. Actually two of my neighbors called ordonez after he completed my fence and got their fences put up as well. If a fence is what you need, you won't go wrong with ordonez.

Great company and great folks. They were prompt in getting our fence installed and it turned out great. They are a local company and even reached out a couple of times after to check in on the fence. I would recommend them to anyone for fencing work.

Fence Painting questions, answered by experts

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Select based on wood type, climate tolerance, and personal preference for color and finish, with choices like oil-based stains for longevity.

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

The best finish for wrought iron railings is either a semi-gloss or a gloss sheen, as each offers good durability against rain, wind, heat, cold, and snow.

When applying multiple coats, wait four to six hours for each coat to dry. Not waiting long enough can result in streaks, peeling, and uneven color. Plus, it will be more difficult to discern where the second coat has already been applied.
