A fence is one of the most exposed structures on your property—no shade from overhangs, direct ground contact that wicks moisture, and exposure to wind, sun, and weather from all directions. Utah's climate accelerates fence aging: UV radiation that causes wood to turn gray within months, rapid wet-dry cycles that crack unprotected wood, and freeze-thaw action that splits moisture-laden boards. Without protection, a wood fence deteriorates from a sharp property line to weathered gray planks in just 2-3 years.
Professional fence painting or staining in Utah isn't just about appearance—it's about wood preservation. Proper coating penetrates wood fibers, repels water, blocks UV damage, and prevents the fungal growth that leads to rot. Whether you have a privacy fence defining your backyard, a picket fence framing your garden, or ranch rails enclosing pasture, the right coating system applied correctly can triple your fence's lifespan while maintaining that fresh-installed appearance.
What Makes This Service Different
Complete Fence Restoration
We transform aged, gray fences back to their original beauty: power wash away years of weathering and mildew, replace rotted or broken boards, reset loose posts, tighten or replace hardware, and apply wood brighteners that restore natural color before staining.
Product Selection Expertise
Different fences need different products. We recommend semi-transparent stains for newer wood that showcase grain, solid stains for weathered or varied wood that needs uniform coverage, penetrating oils for maximum wood preservation, and paint for fences that need to match house trim or create dramatic color statements.
Both-Sides Coverage
Many Utah homeowners only coat the 'good side' of their fence, leaving the back vulnerable. We recommend treating both sides for maximum protection and longevity, sealing top rails and caps where water collects, coating fence posts above and at ground level, and applying extra coats to end grains and cut edges.

Proven Process
Fence Assessment
We walk your entire fence line, documenting condition, identifying repairs needed, checking post stability, noting problem areas like ground contact or irrigation exposure, and photographing sections for your review.
Intensive Cleaning
Fence cleaning requires specialized techniques: power washing at angles that clean without damaging wood, brightening solutions that reverse UV graying, mildew treatments for shaded sections, and adequate drying time based on wood moisture content.
Repairs and Preparation
We replace damaged boards, reset loose nails, tighten hardware, treat any rot with wood preservatives, and sand rough spots that could catch clothing or skin—making the fence safer while improving coating adhesion.
Professional Application
We apply stain or paint using spray equipment that covers both sides efficiently, back-brush to work product into wood grain and knots, pay special attention to horizontal surfaces where water collects, and apply multiple coats for UV protection and color depth.
