Top Fence Staining related questions

Aside from ensuring that your wooden fence looks good, fence staining increases its lifespan. When appropriately applied, it can slow down rotting, reduce mildew, provide much-needed UV protection, and prevent discoloration. Compared to fence painting, fence staining usually requires less maintenance because it lasts longer. Wood stain also comes in a variety of shades and transparencies so that you can match it with the rest of your property.

The amount of time you need to allot before staining a newly installed fence depends on the type of wood used and the climate in your area, but what’s most important is that it’s dry. A quick determiner to see if your fence is ready is by spraying some water on it. If the water forms beads, wait a bit, but if the wood absorbs the water, it’s time for a fence staining service.

Wood greying for fences is caused by age and exposure to UV rays, dirt, dust, pollen, and salt particles. You’ll know an old fence needs restaining when the wood starts to turn grey and has visible halo marks. Halo marks on wood, also known as sprinkler stains, appear when water from your sprinkler system washes against the fence.

Having the right weather conditions before fence staining is vital because your fence needs to be completely dry before the stain is applied. It is best to choose a day when the weather forecast says rain is not likely for the next 48 hours or so. After staining, let the fence dry for a minimum of 24 hours and avoid getting it wet for several days. 

Yes, you can opt for a complete and worry-free fence staining service. On Airtasker, you can connect with specialists who can have everything covered – from sourcing the suitable materials to preparing the area and staining your fence. You can also let your Tasker know if you already have the right supplies, tools, and your fence stain of choice at home.

You can find a convenient fence staining service with just a few taps on Airtasker. All you need to do is post about your fence staining needs, and qualified Taskers (reviewed and trusted by fellow customers) will send you offers. Click accept when you see an offer that works for you, and you can now iron out the details with your Tasker.

What do fence staining services include?

When you book a fence staining service on our platform, you can connect with Taskers who will complete the process within a budget of your choice. They can prepare the area around your fence, complete the fence staining process, and even let you know how to properly maintain it once it’s ready. 

 

The details of each service may vary, so here is a quick overview of what fence staining services near you can include.

 

Fence staining prep

Before the actual process, it would be best to prepare an old fence by having it washed. A power washer can remove dirt and other unwanted elements from the wood. Keep in mind that your fence needs several days to dry before fence staining can take place. When it comes to prep work, your Tasker may cover the area around the fence with a tarp or some drop cloths. 

 

This is to protect the surrounding area, such as grass and plants, from the stain. If other parts of your house also need staining, you can find a specialist to stain your deck on Airtasker. 

 

Staining a fence with a roller

There are two different ways to stain a fence, and one of them is by using a paint roller, which is ideal if you’re not in a rush. Staining a wood fence with a roller may involve other materials such as a paint tray, a paintbrush, and rags. Your Tasker will use the roller to cover your fence with the stain and apply one to two coats. 

 

Once they’re finished, they will inspect the fence, clear the surrounding area, and pack up their equipment. All you need to do is wait for the fence to dry completely. If having your fence stained using a roller doesn’t seem like the right fit for you, don’t worry because there is another available option.

 

Staining a fence with a sprayer

Using a sprayer to stain a fence can take less time. Just like when using a roller, your Tasker may use materials to protect the area around your fence from overspray. They will then pour the stain into a sprayer and cover your fence with it. The duration will depend on the size and type of your fence, but the process can take several hours to several days. 

 

Fence staining isn’t the only thing a Tasker can help you with. If other parts of your property need revamping, you can also use Airtasker to find skilled painters near you. Hiring a specialist to repair your fence and even install a new one is made easier through our platform.
