From Plantation to Fort Lauderdale, Weston to Coral Springs — we restore and protect wood fences using premium stains and sealers specifically formulated for Florida’s intense UV radiation, humidity, and tropical weather.

Why Wood Fences Need Professional Staining and Sealing in South Florida

Florida’s climate is one of the most demanding environments for wood in the entire country. The combination of intense UV radiation, year-round humidity, heavy rain, and biological growth creates conditions that rapidly deteriorate unprotected wood fences. Here’s what happens to unsealed wood fences in Broward County:

  • UV fading and graying — South Florida’s intense sun breaks down wood fibers and bleaches the natural color out of wood within months, leaving fences looking old, weathered, and gray
  • Moisture damage and warping — Florida’s humidity and heavy rain cause wood to repeatedly absorb and release moisture, leading to warping, cracking, and splitting
  • Mold and mildew growth — Broward County’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for mold, mildew, and algae to grow on wood fence surfaces
  • Wood rot — Prolonged moisture exposure causes wood rot that structurally compromises fence boards and posts — leading to costly repairs or full replacement
  • Insect damage — Unsealed wood is more vulnerable to termite and wood-boring insect damage — a serious concern in South Florida
  • Reduced property value — A faded, weathered, or damaged fence significantly hurts your home’s curb appeal and overall property value

Professional fence staining and sealing from Broward Paint and Seal creates a protective barrier against all of these threats — preserving your fence’s beauty, extending its lifespan, and protecting your investment for years to come. Pair fence staining with our pressure washing service for a complete fence restoration that looks brand new.

Our Fence Staining and Sealing Services

Wood Fence Staining

Professional wood fence staining penetrates deep into the wood fibers — providing UV protection, moisture resistance, and beautiful color that enhances your fence’s natural wood grain. Unlike paint which sits on the surface, stain penetrates into the wood for longer-lasting protection that won’t peel or chip. We use premium exterior wood stains from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore in a wide range of colors — from natural cedar and redwood tones to rich dark browns and classic grays.

Wood Fence Sealing

Clear fence sealing provides maximum protection while maintaining the natural appearance of your wood fence. Our professional-grade sealers create a moisture-resistant barrier that prevents water absorption, slows UV degradation, and inhibits mold and mildew growth — all without changing the natural look of your wood. Ideal for homeowners who love the natural wood aesthetic but want maximum protection.

Fence Stain and Seal Combination

Our most popular fence treatment — combining premium stain for color and UV protection with a topcoat sealer for maximum moisture resistance. This combination treatment provides the best of both worlds — beautiful color enhancement AND superior protection against South Florida’s demanding climate.

Fence Pressure Washing and Preparation

Before any staining or sealing begins, every fence surface must be thoroughly cleaned. Our professional pressure washing service removes all dirt, mold, mildew, old stain, and biological growth — opening the wood grain for maximum stain and sealer penetration and adhesion. Proper preparation is the foundation of a fence treatment that lasts.

Fence Painting

For homeowners who prefer a painted fence — solid color paint that matches their home’s exterior — we provide professional fence painting services using premium exterior paints formulated for wood surfaces. Visit our exterior painting page to learn more about our fence painting services.

Fence Repair and Preparation

Before staining or sealing, we inspect your fence for damaged boards, loose pickets, and structural issues. We address minor repairs and prepare all surfaces properly to ensure the best possible staining and sealing results.

Our Fence Staining and Sealing Process

Step 1 — Free On-Site Estimate

We visit your property, assess your fence’s condition, discuss your color and finish preferences, and provide a free written estimate. Contact us today to schedule yours.

Step 2 — Thorough Pressure Washing

Before any staining or sealing begins, we thoroughly pressure wash your entire fence — removing all dirt, mold, mildew, old stain, and biological growth. This critical step ensures maximum penetration and adhesion of the stain and sealer.

Step 3 — Drying Period

After pressure washing, we allow adequate drying time — typically 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions. Staining or sealing wet wood traps moisture and leads to premature failure. We never skip this critical step.

Step 4 — Surface Preparation

After drying, we inspect all fence surfaces and address any issues including:

  • Sanding rough or raised wood grain
  • Replacing or securing any loose or damaged boards
  • Applying wood brightener to open grain for maximum absorption
  • Masking adjacent surfaces to protect from overspray

Step 5 — Stain and Sealer Application

We apply premium wood stain and sealer using professional sprayers, brushes, and rollers — choosing the right application method for your specific fence style and product. We work methodically across the entire fence ensuring complete, even coverage on all surfaces including pickets, rails, and posts.

Step 6 — Final Inspection

We inspect the entire fence for complete, even coverage and address any missed areas before considering the job complete. We walk through the finished work with you to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Wood Stain Options for South Florida Fences

Transparent Stains

Show the most natural wood grain and texture. Provide UV protection and moisture resistance while maintaining a completely natural wood appearance. Best for newer wood in good condition. Require more frequent reapplication — typically every 2-3 years in South Florida’s climate.

Semi-Transparent Stains

The most popular choice for Broward County homeowners — provide beautiful color enhancement while still allowing wood grain to show through. Offer better UV and moisture protection than transparent stains with a longer reapplication cycle of 3-4 years.

Semi-Solid Stains

Provide rich, deep color while showing slight wood grain texture. Offer excellent UV and moisture protection. Best for older wood with minor imperfections to hide. Reapplication cycle of 4-5 years in South Florida’s climate.

Solid Color Stains

Provide maximum color coverage and the longest protection cycle — 5-7 years in South Florida. Best for older, weathered wood with significant imperfections. Available in hundreds of colors to match or complement your home’s exterior.

Clear Sealers

No color — maximum natural wood appearance with professional-grade moisture and UV protection. Ideal for homeowners who love the look of natural, untreated wood but want the protection of professional sealing.

Common South Florida Fence Problems We Solve

Gray, Weathered Wood

South Florida’s UV radiation strips the natural color from wood within months, leaving fences looking old and weathered. Our pressure washing and staining process restores weathered gray wood to beautiful, rich color — transforming the appearance of your entire property.

Black Mold and Green Algae

Broward County’s humid climate causes rapid mold, mildew, and algae growth on wood fences — especially on shaded or north-facing sections. Our pressure washing service eliminates all biological growth before staining, and our premium stains include mold-inhibiting additives to slow regrowth.

Cracking and Splitting Wood

Florida’s repeated wet/dry cycles cause wood to expand and contract, leading to cracking and splitting over time. Our penetrating stains and sealers reduce moisture absorption significantly — slowing the expansion and contraction cycle and extending your fence’s structural integrity.

Faded or Peeling Old Stain

Old stain that’s fading or peeling is both unsightly and ineffective at protecting your fence. We properly prepare the surface — removing all old failing stain — before applying fresh premium stain for a beautiful, long-lasting result.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fence Staining and Sealing

How often should I stain and seal my wood fence in South Florida?

In Broward County’s demanding climate, most wood fences benefit from professional staining and sealing every 2-4 years depending on the stain type, sun exposure, and level of shade coverage. Fences in full sun or near water may need more frequent treatment. You’ll know it’s time when water no longer beads on the surface and the wood looks faded or gray.

Should I stain or paint my wood fence?

For most South Florida wood fences we recommend staining over painting. Stain penetrates the wood and won’t peel or chip like paint — making it significantly lower maintenance in Florida’s climate. Paint provides a completely opaque finish that hides wood grain but requires more maintenance as it peels over time. If you prefer a solid color finish, semi-solid stain is often a better choice than paint for South Florida fences. Ask us during your free estimate — we’ll recommend the right product for your specific fence and goals. See our exterior painting page for more information on fence painting options.

Do you pressure wash the fence before staining?

Absolutely — and we never skip this step. Thorough pressure washing is essential before any staining or sealing project. Staining over a dirty, moldy, or contaminated surface results in poor adhesion, uneven color, and premature failure. Every fence staining project begins with professional pressure washing.

How long does fence staining take?

Most residential fence staining projects are completed in 1-2 days depending on the length of the fence, condition of the wood, and products selected. The process includes pressure washing, drying time, and stain application.

What wood stain colors are available?

We offer a wide range of premium Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore wood stain colors — from natural cedar and redwood tones to rich dark browns, driftwood grays, and custom colors. We can bring color samples to your free estimate so you can visualize the options on your actual fence.

Can you stain a fence that has never been stained before?

Yes — and new or never-treated fences are actually ideal candidates for staining. Fresh wood absorbs stain beautifully for maximum penetration and protection. We recommend treating new fences as soon as possible to protect them from South Florida’s climate from the start.

Can you stain a fence that has old paint or stain on it?

It depends on the condition of the existing coating. Peeling or flaking old paint or stain must be completely removed before new stain can be applied. We assess your fence’s existing condition during the free estimate and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.

Do you offer fence repair before staining?

Yes. We inspect all fence boards and posts before staining and address minor repairs — replacing damaged boards, securing loose pickets, and filling gaps. For major fence repairs or replacements we’ll discuss options with you during the estimate.
