Fence Staining FAQs in Potomac - Bethesda

Yes, both faces and the post caps weather, so we coat both sides of a Potomac fence to keep it protected and looking even all the way around.

With a clean surface and a quality penetrating stain, a Bethesda fence usually goes several years between recoats, direct sun exposure and how dry the wood stays drive the timing.

Mid-Atlantic UV and freeze-thaw exposure typically pull semi-transparent fence stain to a two-year cycle on the sunniest runs. Shaded runs behind mature Chevy Chase and Cabin John hardwoods go longer. The scope is walked at the free in-home estimate.

New pressure-treated fence lumber typically needs several weeks to dry before it accepts stain. Our crews check moisture on the Potomac or Bethesda fence at the free in-home estimate before scheduling stain.

We match the product to the wood and exposure, semi-transparent on cedar and fresh pressure-treated pine, solid on older weathered runs. Both are formulated for Mid-Atlantic freeze-thaw and UV. Every fence scope carries the 3-year transferable warranty.
