Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
To calculate the square footage, measure the linear feet of the fence and multiply it by the height of the fence. For example, a 100-foot-long fence that is 6 feet high would be 600 square feet (100 ft x 6 ft = 600 sq ft). Remember to account for both sides if the client wants the entire fence stained, effectively doubling the square footage for two-sided applications.
The 'Premium' tier, ranging from $2.69–$4 per square foot, is primarily driven by extensive preparation work. This includes stripping old stain or paint, deep cleaning, and potentially brighter or complex applications. Fences in poor condition or those that haven't been maintained for a long time often fall into this category due to the increased labor and specialized products required.
For a small fence up to 175 square feet, roughly one gallon of stain is sufficient. For larger fences up to 550 square feet, you will typically need two gallons. For very large fences up to 700 square feet, plan to use three to four gallons of stain. These are general estimates and can vary based on wood porosity and stain type.
A fence staining project can take anywhere from 3 to 8 hours to complete. This timeframe includes preparation work, application of stain, and necessary drying times between coats. Factors like fence size, current condition, weather, and the number of coats will affect the total duration.
Yes, new and old fences often require different approaches, impacting the cost. New, bare fences typically fall into the 'Basic' tier ($1.32–$1.7 per sq ft) as they mostly require just a single coat application. Older fences, especially those with existing stain or significant grime, will likely fall into the 'Mid-range' or 'Premium' tiers due to the need for cleaning, stripping, or multiple coats.
