Finishing
Redwood will survive untreated, but it soon turns silver-grey and begins to check on the sun-facing side. Quality stain preserves the color and, more importantly, slows the wet and dry cycling that opens up those cracks.
Timing matters as much as the product. New redwood needs to dry before it will take stain properly, so we will tell you when your fence is ready rather than coating it too soon and trapping moisture.
The short version
The key choices and details that come up on most of these projects.
| Types | Clear, semi-transparent, solid |
|---|---|
| New wood | Must dry first |
| Best time | Once a new fence has fully dried |
| Recoat | Periodically, sun side first |
How it goes
We visit your property, walk the site with you, take measurements, and talk through the height, style and layout you want. You receive a clear, detailed estimate.
We mark the line, confirm the property boundary with you, and agree the post spacing together before anything goes in the ground.
Posts are set first and given time to cure, then the rails and boards follow. We see the work through from start to finish without cutting corners.
We walk the finished line together, adjust gate swing and latch height, and clean up before we leave.
