Painting vs. Staining – What's The Difference?

Although the concept of staining a fence may not be much different than painting, the two actually differ quite a bit. No matter which option you choose, the most important thing is to seal your fence from the elements. This can be done with either painting or staining but does it make a difference which one I choose? An important thing to note is how much maintenance you are willing to do on your fence.

Painting your fence will offer unique colors, but will cover the grain pattern of the wood. A stain will allow the natural grain pattern to shine though while giving the fence a nice appearance. Staining is much more cost effective but also needs to be maintained more frequently, about every 4-5 years or as needed. It is also important to note that a stained fence can easily be painted but a painted fence is more difficult to stain.

Benefits to Regular Fence Staining

Whether you are considering installing a new wooden fence or you are looking to refresh an existing fence, scheduling a fence staining service with an experienced local fencing company can make a huge difference.

• Prevent Water Damage: High-quality stain that is applied correctly prevents water from seeping into your fence's wood. This helps prevent rotting or splintering from frozen water, keeping your fence from breaking down over time.

• Reduce Sun Damage: Harmful UV rays can heavily impact a fence by fading the color and breaking down its protective coating. This leaves your fence vulnerable to infestations and further damage. In Abilene's sunny climate, regular fence staining is extra important.

• Preserve Color: Regular fence staining preserves the beautiful, vibrant color of your fence, as wood that is left untreated over time will fade to a dull grey color.

• Prolong Your Fence's Lifespan: If you want your fence to last for as long as possible, regular fence staining is absolutely imperative. The protective coating that stain adds keeps your fence in great shape for much longer than an untreated fence.

• Improve Property Value: A home with excellent curb appeal will retain more value, making it even more important to keep your fence looking its best. Whether you plan to sell your home or simply wish to impress the neighbors, a properly stained fence is important to keep your property value high.

How Often Do I Need to Have My Deck Stained?

Although a wood fence lasts at least a decade, it is important to keep up with it to preserve both the look and the function. We offer repairs when you have broken or rotting boards but we also recommend having your fence stained when it starts to show wear. Having your fence stained every two to three years, more frequently for softwoods and less frequently for rot-resistant woods, will help keep your fence resistant.
