Fences are important parts of our homes. They protect us from outside threats, provide us with a sense of privacy and define how much of our lawn area must be taken care of every other week. The tricky moments with our homes’ initial defenses arise when they begin to wear and tear, as there are a variety of options in fence restoration. Should the fence be painted or stained? Should I restore my fence or replace it? These are just some of the questions that plague homeowners when their fences begin to degrade. Fear not, for Keane Landscaping is your one stop shop fence repair company.
STAINING IS THE SECRET
Often times, fence replacement can be avoided if the fence has been properly protected from the outset. Two different methods can accomplish this: fence painting or fence staining. Paint is typically more expensive per gallon, requires a primer (undercoat) and degrades faster due to chipping and peeling, but provides you with more aesthetic choices. Staining is recommended because of the severe and unpredictable weather conditions here in the state of Texas. Some benefits of fence staining include:
- No primer or undercoat needed
- Provides a more natural look
- Does not chip or peel
- Restricts water from getting into your fence, which prevents rotting and splitting
- Limits the amount of UV damage your fence receives
- Stains are not as diversified in colors and sheens like paint; however, there are still multiple stain options.
STAIN SELECTIONS
Stain selection can be separated into several different categories, but your premiere fence repair company specializes in oil-based stains. We focus on this type of stain because it:
- Provides a thicker seal for wood
- Provides a more even finish than water-based stains
- Is more durable than water-based stains
