"We are very pleased with the overall experience with Tommy and his crew. They were prompt, polite, and showed attention to detail. We had our cedar sided cottage and outbuildings stained and sealed. There was some damage from woodpeckers that they repaired. It looks refreshed! We highly recommend them!"

"I hired Terry and his company to make repairs on my rental property. In addition to repairing drywall, he also fixed skylights, painted the entire, removed trash, removed carpeting, fixed ruts in the muddy yard, removed remaining trash from house, etc. His workmanship is impeccable. He takes pride in completing a job and doing it well. I live out of state. He went above and beyond in a difficult situation. I highly recommend him and would definitely rehire."

Painting questions, answered by experts

The best type of paint to use for chain link fences is an oil-based paint. Oil-based paints are durable and will withstand the elements well. Search for an oil-based paint with rust protection and aluminum flakes to further protect the longevity of the fence.

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.
