Premium Wood Staining For Long-Lasting Protection
Serving McKinney & Surrounding Areas
Why Professional Staining Matters
Extend Lifespan And Enhance Appearance
Quality staining creates a breathable barrier against moisture and UV, reducing cracking, warping, and graying while resisting mold and mildew. Properly sealed fences, decks, pergolas, and patio structures hold color longer, repel water, and clean more easily—often extending service life two to three times compared to untreated wood.
DIY applications often fail due to inadequate prep, poor product match, or uneven coverage. ReMade Fence & Patio assesses wood species, age, exposure, and condition to specify the right cleaning system, brightener, and stain technology, delivering uniform color, deeper penetration, and longer-lasting protection.
Proven Steps For Reliable, Lasting Results
Preparation is the foundation of durability. ReMade Fence & Patio begins with a detailed inspection, light repairs, and moisture readings to ensure wood is at or below ideal moisture content (typically under 15%). We wash with the appropriate cleaner at controlled pressure (about 500–1,200 PSI), neutralize with an oxalic-acid brightener to restore pH and color, lightly sand rough or oxidized fibers, set fasteners, mask hardware and adjacent surfaces, and protect plants and hardscapes.
We apply premium oil- or water-based penetrating stains using spray-and-back-brush techniques for even penetration and color. End-grain is sealed, and porous boards may receive a wet-on-wet second coat. Work is scheduled within proper weather windows (about 50–95°F, relative humidity below 80%, and no rain forecast for 24 hours). Typical dry times range 4–8 hours to touch, light foot traffic after ~24 hours, and full cure in 3–7 days, followed by a final quality walk-through and thorough cleanup.
Finishes Tailored To Your Wood And Style
Choose from transparent, semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid finishes to balance grain visibility with UV shielding. ReMade Fence & Patio offers low-VOC, high-performance formulations—including advanced oil-modified and waterborne options—featuring UV absorbers, trans-oxide pigments, and mildewcides for superior color retention. We provide on-site sampling to dial in the exact tone before full application.
Product selection is matched to wood type and use. Cedar and pine fences benefit from penetrating stains that move with the wood. For solid-color systems on tannin-rich species, we employ stain-blocking primers to control bleed-through. High-wear horizontal surfaces may use more robust, pigment-rich systems for added UV and abrasion resistance while maintaining a natural look.
To maximize longevity, plan simple annual maintenance: gentle washing, vegetation trimming for airflow, and a quick water-bead test to gauge hydrophobicity. Anticipate refresh coats roughly every 18–36 months on vertical surfaces and 12–24 months on horizontal surfaces, depending on exposure and color depth. When maintained with the same product family, many projects can be recoated without stripping; coverage typically ranges 150–300 sq ft per gallon based on wood porosity.
