Fence, Deck and Pergola Staining in Boerne, TX
Exterior wood is continually exposed to sunlight, moisture and changing Texas weather. Straight Edge Painting Co. provides professional staining for fences, decks, pergolas, posts, rails and other exterior wood surfaces in Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Leon Springs and surrounding Texas Hill Country communities. Each project begins with an evaluation of the wood and its existing finish so the preparation and stain can be selected appropriately.
Exterior Wood Staining Services
Our staining services are intended to enhance the natural character of exterior wood while helping protect it from continued exposure. Depending on the property and agreed scope, staining may be completed on privacy fences, decorative fences, decks, pergolas, posts, rails and other paintable or stainable exterior wood features.
Cleaning and Preparing Exterior Wood
A quality finish begins with a clean, properly prepared surface. Depending on the condition and material, preparation may include pressure washing or controlled lower-pressure cleaning to remove dirt, mildew, mold, algae and organic buildup. Bleach-based or bleach-free cleaning solutions can be selected according to the surface, surrounding materials and client preference. Nearby surfaces and landscaping are protected and rinsed as appropriate, and the wood is given sufficient drying time before additional preparation or stain application begins.
Choosing the Right Stain Appearance
The appropriate stain depends on the wood species, age, porosity, condition, previous coatings and desired level of color and grain visibility. Transparent and semi-transparent finishes allow more natural wood grain to remain visible, while more opaque finishes provide greater color coverage. Final color and appearance can vary across weathered or previously coated wood.

Stain appearance varies according to wood species, age, porosity, previous coatings and weather exposure. Color selections should be evaluated with the actual surface in mind.
