## Direct answer

Georgia sun and rain are brutal on bare wood. We use professional-grade Wood Defender stain that seals your fence against UV, moisture, and mildew — and makes a gray, tired fence look brand new in a day. It's the highest-return maintenance a wood fence can get.

## Key takeaways

- **Years More Life** — Sealed wood resists rot, warp, and split.
- **Like-New Look** — Rich, even color that turns heads.
- **UV & Rain Shield** — Stain blocks the sun and sheds water.
- **Cheaper Than Replacing** — A fraction of the cost of new fence.

## Prep Is the Whole Job

Anyone can spray stain on a dirty fence — and it'll peel within a year. If your fence is gray or has dark mildew spots we clean it first (bleach wash or pressure wash, whichever fits), let it dry properly, then apply Wood Defender stain that bonds into the wood instead of sitting on top. That's the difference between a finish that lasts one summer and one that lasts many.

## Frequently asked questions

**How often should I stain my wood fence?**

Every 3–5 years for most wood fences in the Augusta–Aiken climate. A fence in full Georgia sun fades faster than one in shade. The biggest signal it's time: water no longer beads on the surface.

**When can a brand new fence be stained?**

Pressure-treated pine usually needs 60–90 days to fully dry before staining. Cedar can typically be stained within a few days of install. If your new pine fence is already showing gray or mildew spots, we'll clean it first.

**What stain do you use?**

We use Wood Defender — a contractor-grade stain and seal made by Standard Paints. It's waterproof, mildew-resistant, and built for Southern heat. You choose the finish (transparent, semi-transparent, or solid) and color on the free quote.

**Transparent or semi-transparent — which should I pick?**

Transparent shows the most natural wood grain and carries a 2-year guarantee. Semi-transparent has richer color, still lets the grain show, and carries a 3-year guarantee. We bring samples on-site so you can see them on your actual fence.

**Does staining both sides cost more?**

Yes — staining two sides means roughly twice the material and labor of staining one. We'll quote one-sided or two-sided on the free walk-through, whichever you'd prefer.
