Need Fence Painting in North York?
A tired fence drags down curb appeal faster than almost anything else on the property. Grey, peeling boards read as neglect even when the house paint is fine.
Fence work is detail-heavy. Hundreds of square feet of vertical wood, both sides if you share with a neighbour, and posts that rot from the ground up if water sits on bare grain.
We stain and paint fences across North York in the same season as decks and exteriors. Matching colour from patio to perimeter pulls the whole yard together.
What Fence Painting Actually Takes
Grass and gardens need protection before spray or heavy brushing starts. We lay canvas and plastic so overspray does not hit hostas or stone paths.
Old stain that is chalking or peeling has to come off. Rolling over it saves a day and costs you the next two years.
Posts and caps take more abuse than pickets. We prime bare wood at the base where splash-back keeps boards wet.
If the deck needs work too, book both together. See deck staining for backyard floor surfaces.

Nine Things Worth Knowing Before You Paint a Fence
- Both sides matter if you can access them. One-sided stain weathers unevenly on shared fences.
- Wash before colour. Dust and mildew under stain fail in months.
- Protect landscaping. Overspray travels on a breezy day.
- Stain posts to the ground line. Bare wood at the base rots first.
- Check with neighbours on shared fences. Colour changes are easier before you buy product.
- Spray saves time on long runs. Brush work handles detail at gates and corners.
- Two coats on bare wood. One coat looks thin by fall.
- Book dry weather. Rain right after staining washes product off before it sets.
- Match the deck stain if you have one. Coordinated wood tones look planned, not accidental.
FAQ
Fence Painting Questions, Answered
Stain or paint on a fence?
Stain shows grain and penetrates. Paint gives solid colour and more UV cover. We recommend based on wood age and sun exposure.
Do you paint both sides?
Yes when we can access both sides. On shared fences we coordinate with you on timing and colour.
How long does a fence job take?
A typical backyard line takes one to three days depending on length, prep, and weather.
Can you fix rotten posts?
Small repairs yes. Severe rot needs carpentry before paint. We tell you on site.
When is the best season?
Late spring through early fall when wood is dry and nights are mild.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes, three years on workmanship with proper prep.
Can you match my deck stain?
Yes. We use the same product line when both are booked together.
