Your Fence Stays Strong for Years

Michigan weather hits fences hard. Hot sun fades boards, rain soaks posts, and winter salt strips color fast. Without protection, you’re looking at expensive repairs or full replacement much sooner than expected.

Our fence staining and painting creates a protective shield that penetrates deep into the wood. You get defense against moisture, UV rays, and temperature swings that keeps your fence looking sharp through every season. Quality stains last 3-4 years while premium paints protect for 8-10 years.

No more worrying about rot, mildew, or cracking. Your fence maintains its structural strength and visual appeal, protecting your property investment while enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

Fence Painting Process Anchor Bay Gardens

Thorough Prep, Professional Application, Long-Lasting Results

We start with a comprehensive cleaning that removes dirt, mildew, and any loose material. This isn’t a quick rinse—we power wash properly and let everything dry completely because staining wet wood creates moisture bubbles and premature failure.

Next comes surface preparation. We tighten loose boards, sand rough spots, and address any damage before applying anything. This prep work is what separates professional results from DIY disappointments.

Finally, we apply your chosen stain or paint using the right techniques for even coverage. Whether we brush, roll, or spray depends on your fence type and the finish you want. We work with the wood grain and apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick application for better absorption and durability.

The result is a uniform, attractive finish that protects your investment and enhances your property for years to come.

How long does fence staining last in Michigan weather?

Quality fence staining typically lasts 3-4 years in Michigan’s climate, while premium exterior paints can protect for 8-10 years or longer with proper application. The lifespan depends on several factors including the type of stain or paint used, surface preparation quality, and your fence’s exposure to direct sunlight and weather. Michigan’s harsh conditions—with hot summers, cold winters, and significant precipitation—are particularly tough on wood. However, professional-grade stains and paints formulated for our climate provide much better durability than standard products. We use materials specifically designed to resist UV damage, moisture penetration, and temperature fluctuations. The key is proper preparation and application. When we clean thoroughly, repair damage, and apply the right product correctly, your fence protection lasts significantly longer than DIY attempts or cheap materials.

Should I stain or paint my fence in Anchor Bay Gardens?

The choice between staining and painting depends on your fence condition, desired appearance, and maintenance preferences. Staining works better for newer wood or when you want to highlight natural grain patterns, while painting offers more color options and better coverage for older or damaged fences. Stains penetrate into the wood and won’t peel or crack like paint can. They’re more forgiving during application and typically require less surface preparation. However, stains need reapplication every 3-4 years and offer fewer color choices. Paint provides superior protection and color variety, lasting 8-10 years when applied properly. It’s better for hiding imperfections and matching your home’s exterior colors. The downside is that paint requires more thorough preparation, including priming, and can peel if moisture gets underneath. We’ll assess your specific fence and help you choose the best option for your situation and goals.

What's the best time of year for fence painting in Michigan?

Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for fence staining and painting in Michigan. We need temperatures between 50-90°F with low to moderate humidity and no rain expected for at least 48-72 hours after application. Michigan’s weather can be unpredictable, so timing matters. We avoid extremely hot summer days when stains and paints dry too quickly, preventing proper penetration and adhesion. We also won’t work during Michigan’s humid periods or when rain is forecast, as moisture interferes with curing. The ideal window is typically May through September, with late spring and early fall being optimal. During these periods, temperatures are moderate, humidity is lower, and weather patterns are more predictable. We monitor forecasts carefully and will reschedule if conditions aren’t right—it’s better to wait for perfect conditions than compromise the quality and longevity of your fence protection.

How do you prepare fences for staining and painting?

Proper preparation is crucial for long-lasting results. We start with thorough power washing using appropriate cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mildew, and any loose or flaking material. The fence must dry completely—typically 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions and wood type. Next, we inspect and repair any damage. Loose boards get secured, protruding nails get hammered down, and any rotting sections get replaced. We sand rough areas and splinters to create a smooth surface that accepts stain or paint evenly. For previously painted fences, we scrape off any loose or peeling paint and sand the surface. If we’re switching from paint to stain, additional preparation may be needed. We also protect surrounding landscaping and structures with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. This comprehensive prep work takes time, but it’s what ensures your fence coating adheres properly and lasts for years.

Can you match my existing fence color or home exterior?

Yes, we can match existing colors or help you coordinate new ones with your home’s exterior. We bring color samples and can create custom matches for both stains and paints. Many Anchor Bay Gardens homeowners choose natural wood tones like cedar and redwood, or popular solid colors like deep browns, grays, and subtle greens. Color matching involves considering your home’s siding, trim, and overall style. We can also account for how colors will look in different lighting conditions throughout the day. For stains, we work with the wood’s natural undertones to achieve the desired appearance. If you’re updating your fence as part of a larger exterior refresh, we can coordinate colors across different elements of your property. We’ll provide samples and recommendations based on your home’s architecture and your personal preferences, ensuring the final result enhances your property’s overall appearance and value.

Do you offer warranties on fence staining and painting work?

Yes, we stand behind our work with warranties that cover both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the products used and the scope of work, but we guarantee that our application will perform as expected under normal conditions. Our warranty covers issues like premature peeling, excessive fading, or application defects that occur due to our workmanship. It doesn’t cover damage from severe weather events, physical damage to the fence, or normal wear after the expected lifespan of the products used. We use quality materials from trusted manufacturers that often include their own product warranties. When you combine manufacturer backing with our application guarantee, you get comprehensive protection for your investment. We’ll discuss specific warranty terms during your consultation and provide everything in writing so you know exactly what’s covered.
