Think about tone and wood grain
Stain can change the color of a fence while leaving different amounts of grain visible, depending on the product. Compare samples with the home and surrounding materials. The result on your lumber may differ from a small sample or a photograph.
Preparation comes before color
Identify previous coatings and point out deteriorated boards or loose components. New lumber and a weathered fence may need different preparation. Cleaning can be part of the process, but it should not be mistaken for a repair to damaged wood.
Understand the selected finish
Fortress’s staining service centers on oil-based stain and sealant. Ask which product is suitable, what preparation is included and what ongoing care it needs. Reapplication timing depends on the finish and exposure; avoid relying on a universal schedule for every fence.
