Wood fences here face a unique combination of summer humidity, intense UV exposure, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. Without proper protection, even high-quality cedar or pine can warp, crack, and gray within a single season. Our fence staining process starts with a thorough cleaning using a wood-specific cleaner and a low-pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, and old finish without damaging the fibers. We then sand any rough spots or splinters, especially on gates and posts that see the most wear. Only after the wood is dry and prepped do we apply a high-quality penetrating stain — not a film-forming paint that will peel. We use a combination of sprayer and hand-brushing to force the stain into every grain, lap joint, and end cut, ensuring even coverage and long-lasting protection. For Des Moines homeowners, fence staining is not just about curb appeal; it is about extending the life of your investment. A well-stained fence resists moisture absorption that causes rot, blocks UV rays that turn wood silver, and seals out the insects that thrive in our humid summers. We match the stain type to your fence material — semi-transparent for showing grain on new cedar, solid stain for older or mixed-wood fences. We also pay close attention to the weather forecast, staining only when temperatures are moderate and no rain is expected for at least 24 hours. Whether your fence surrounds a backyard, pool, or front yard, proper staining keeps it looking rich and uniform while saving you from costly repairs down the road. ## Areas We Cover in Des Moines We provide fence staining services throughout the Des Moines metro area, including neighborhoods such as Accent, Arbor Peaks, Avon, Avon Lake, Beaverdale, and Brook Run. You will also find us working near local landmarks like 2AU Limited, 2nd Amendment Gun Shop, 300 Craft & Rooftop, and 801 Chophouse. Whether you live in a newer development with privacy fences or an established area with classic picket styles, we bring the same attention to detail to every property. ## What to Expect When you schedule fence staining with us, here is what the process looks like: - We inspect your fence for rot, loose boards, or protruding nails and discuss any repairs needed before staining. - We clear the area around the fence (move furniture, trim back plants) and protect nearby surfaces with drop cloths. - We clean the wood with a biodegradable cleaner and rinse thoroughly, then allow at least 24 hours of dry time. - We apply stain using a sprayer for speed and a brush for deep penetration, working in sections to avoid lap marks. - We clean up all equipment and leave your yard as we found it, with a fence that is protected and refreshed.
