Fort Worth covers a lot of ground, from the smaller urban lots in Wedgwood to the sprawling ranch-style properties out in Heritage Trace, and cedar privacy fences are the common thread across all of it. The Alliance corridor alone has thousands of builder fences going up every year, many of them hitting that first-stain window right now. Cedar grays fast under North Texas sun, and once it weathers without protection it begins cracking, splitting, and inviting mildew deep into the grain. Stephen McPherson is on-site for every job, so you get a working owner at your fence, not a sub crew.
Why Fort Worth Fences Need Regular Staining
- Fort Worth sits at 32 degrees north latitude, and the UV load on an unprotected cedar fence is severe from March through October. Gray color shows in as little as 6-12 months on raw cedar.
- Alliance corridor builder fences are going through their first-stain window in waves. New cedar must off-gas for 6 months minimum before stain will penetrate, and many homeowners miss that window.
- Heritage Trace and similar large-lot neighborhoods have long fence runs. A 300-foot perimeter fence left unprotected depreciates fast and costs far more to replace than to maintain.
- Smaller urban lots in areas like Wedgwood create neighbor-visibility situations where fence condition is impossible to ignore. Grayed, weathered boards affect curb appeal from both sides.
Our Fence Staining Process in Fort Worth
- Inspect the fence for rot, warped boards, and loose posts. We flag any structural issues to you before we touch a sprayer, so there are no surprises.
- Soft-wash the fence at 500-1,000 PSI to strip algae, mildew, and gray residue without blowing out cedar grain. High pressure is the wrong tool for cedar.
- Let the fence dry a full 24-48 hours. Stain applied to damp wood traps moisture and fails early. We schedule around this.
- Apply penetrating semi-transparent stain to front and back of every board for full penetration into the cedar fiber. Surface-only stain peels. Penetrating stain extends life.
- Walk the fence line with you for sign-off. If a board or section doesn't look right, we address it before we leave.
