What we provide

Fence Staining & Sealing

A wood fence in the DC, Maryland and Virginia climate takes freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers and heavy clay soil. A good finish, renewed on schedule, is what lets it reach its full life.

Expert Fence cleans, stains and seals cedar and pressure-treated fences, new and old, and can keep your fence on a maintenance calendar so you do not have to remember.

Common questions

Staining & Sealing FAQ

Let new cedar or pressure-treated wood weather three to six months first. Fresh lumber carries mill glaze and moisture that will not let a finish penetrate, and sealing too early traps that moisture inside the board.

In this climate, plan on cleaning and re-sealing every two to three years. Sun-facing runs may need it sooner.

Done wrong, yes. We stay under 1,500 PSI, use a wide fan tip and keep the wand moving, so the soft grain is not gouged.

Yes. We assess the fence first and flag any repairs that should be done before finishing.
