Your fence defines your property and contributes significantly to curb appeal. In Florida, fences take a beating from intense UV rays, heavy rain, high humidity, and even occasional tropical storms. Professional painting or staining protects your investment and keeps your property looking its best.

Wood Fence Finishing
Wood fences are popular in Tampa Bay for privacy and aesthetics. Common wood types include cedar, pine, and cypress. Each requires proper preparation and the right coating system.
Staining Options:
- Semi-transparent stain – Shows wood grain while adding color and UV protection
- Solid stain – More color coverage while still penetrating the wood
- Clear sealers – UV protection without changing the wood's natural color
Painting:
Exterior latex paint provides maximum coverage and color options. We use premium exterior coatings with mildewcides and UV inhibitors. White is most popular, but any color is possible.
Vinyl Fence Considerations
Vinyl fences are marketed as maintenance-free, but they do fade and discolor over time. Painting vinyl requires:
- Thorough cleaning – Remove all dirt, mildew, and chalking
- Vinyl-adhesion primer – Standard primers won't bond to vinyl
- Flexible exterior paint – Must expand and contract with the vinyl
- Light colors recommended – Dark colors absorb heat and can warp vinyl
Aluminum and Iron Fencing
Metal fences in Florida face rust and corrosion, especially near the coast. Our process for metal fences includes:
- Rust removal – Wire brushing and sanding rust spots
- Rust converter – Chemical treatment of remaining rust
- Primer – Rust-inhibiting primer designed for metal
- Topcoat – Durable exterior enamel or direct-to-metal coating
Our Fence Refinishing Process
- Assessment – Evaluate fence condition and recommend coating system
- Cleaning – Pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and loose material
- Drying – Allow adequate dry time (especially important for staining)
- Repairs – Secure loose boards, fill minor damage
- Preparation – Sanding, scraping, or priming as needed
- Application – Spray, brush, or roll coating depending on fence type
- Second coat – If required by the coating system
