Fence Staining in Mays Landing & Atlantic County, NJ

A fence is one of the largest wooden surfaces on most South Jersey properties — and one of the most neglected. Untreated, wood fences gray out and crack in 1–2 seasons. Painted fences peel. Stained fences, done right, age quietly and last decades. We stain, seal, and occasionally paint cedar, pressure-treated, and picket fences across Atlantic County.

Typical fence staining in the Mays Landing area runs $3–$8 per linear foot, so a standard 100-foot privacy fence usually lands between $600 and $1,500. Old finish stripping and repair add to the cost but extend the next stain job by years.

Our Fence Staining Process

1

Measure & Assess

We walk the whole fence, note rot or loose pickets, measure actual linear feet (not a flat panel rate), and agree on stain opacity and color.

2

Wash & Strip

Pressure wash to remove dirt, algae, and mildew. If old stain is flaking, we chemically strip before restaining — staining over failing finish is the #1 reason fence jobs fail inside a year.

3

Repair & Sand

Sand splinters, raised grain, and any glossy spots. Replace popped nails with galvanized screws. Swap out rotted pickets or rails where needed.

4

Stain Application

We brush or spray-then-backbrush premium penetrating stain in 1–2 coats for even absorption. Both sides of the fence get coated where accessible.

5

Cleanup

Plants, lawn, and hardscape get rinsed. Drop cloths and tape come off. We walk the final result with you before we leave.
