Protect, Beautify, and Extend the Life of Your Fence

When it comes to maintaining the beauty and longevity of your wood fence, staining isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a powerful way to protect your investment. In the hot, humid, and unpredictable Texas climate, your fence takes a beating year-round. That’s why homeowners across Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco, Wylie, Sachse, Murphy, and nearby cities turn to Fence Makeovers for professional, lasting fence staining services.

We specialize in fence restoration using high-quality oil-based stains, signature colors, and a gentle but effective cleaning process. Whether you’re dealing with a faded fence or a freshly installed one, our goal is the same: to help you protect what you’ve built—and love the way it looks.

Why Fence Staining Matters

Wood is a natural, beautiful material—but it’s also vulnerable. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, mold, mildew, and insects can cause discoloration, splintering, warping, and decay. Without proper care, your fence could deteriorate long before its time.

That’s where professional fence staining makes all the difference:

  • UV Protection – Our oil-based stains include UV blockers that reduce sun damage and prevent fading.

  • Moisture Resistance – Stain acts as a sealant, helping repel rain and humidity that could otherwise lead to rot.

  • Curb Appeal – A freshly stained fence brings new life to your outdoor space, boosting your home’s appearance and even its value.

  • Extended Lifespan – With the right stain and care, your fence can last many more years, saving you from premature replacements.

Our Fence Staining Process: Clean. Dry. Stain.

At Fence Makeovers, we make the process simple and seamless, usually completing the entire job in just one day.

Step 1

Safe, Low-Pressure Cleaning

We never power wash. Instead, we use a specially blended bleach-based cleaning solution combined with a gentle 40–60 PSI rinse. This removes dirt, mildew, and organic buildup without damaging the wood grain. It’s a safer, smarter alternative to high-pressure washing that can gouge the surface and shorten the fence’s life.

Step 2

Dry Time

After cleaning, your fence needs a little time to dry. Most jobs allow for same-day turnaround—meaning we clean in the morning and come back to stain in the afternoon.

Step 3

Oil Based Staining

Using high-performance, oil-based stains from Behr and Wood Defender, we apply a smooth, even coat that penetrates deep into the wood.

Our stains aren’t just pretty—they’re functional, forming a durable barrier against moisture and UV damage.

Our Signature Colors: Walnut and Sable

Your fence, your look. At Fence Makeovers, we’ve customed blended two timeless, earthy stain colors that complement almost any outdoor aesthetic.

Walnut

Fence staining - Walnut Staining
Walnut Fence Stain Color

A rich, deep brown that adds warmth and a polished finish to cedar fences.

Sable

Fence staining - Sable Staining
Fence Stain Sable

A lighter, neutral-toned brown that brings a natural, elegant appearance to your yard.

Both colors are available in transparent and solid-transparent finishes, allowing the wood’s natural grain to shine through while giving your fence that freshly finished look. These colors were custom-chosen by our team based on years of experience with Texas wood fencing—and are exclusive to Fence Makeovers.

Best Cedar Wood Stain FAQs

How long does the process take?

We usually complete the entire job in one day. We clean in the morning and return in the afternoon to stain—weather permitting.

Does the stain have a strong odor?

There may be a mild scent from the oil-based stain initially, but it typically fades within 24–48 hours.

Can I touch or lean on the fence after staining?

We recommend avoiding contact for at least 24 hours after staining to allow proper curing.

Will staining help with sun and water damage?

Yes! Our stain contains UV blockers and a water-resistant seal that helps prevent sun fading, mold growth, and wood rot.
