What it includes
Clean, prep and stain. Builder fences go up as untreated pine, and one Texas summer of UV and one wet winter will grey and check the boards permanently. Sealing in the first year is the difference between a fence that lasts fifteen years and one that lasts seven.
Old walls, old doors
Plenty of south side homes were built before drywall was standard, and mounting into plaster and lath or solid brick takes different anchors and roughly twice the labor. That is why masonry is a separate line on our quote rather than a surprise on the day. Garage doors are the other pattern — anything installed before 1993 has no photo-eye sensors, so an opener replacement here often means adding safety hardware the original install never had. In-wall cable concealment frequently is not possible in these walls, so we price an external raceway instead.
Fence stain questions
When should a new fence be stained?
Once the wood has dried out but before it has weathered, which for a builder fence installed in this climate is usually somewhere between three and twelve months after it goes up.
