Argyle is growing fast, and developments like Harvest and Canyon Falls have produced thousands of new cedar fences in the last several years, many of them hitting the first-stain window right now. New cedar must off-gas for a minimum of 6 months after installation before stain will penetrate the wood properly. Outside those master-planned communities, Argyle also has rural cedar ranch fencing on acreage lots, which takes heavy UV exposure with limited shade. Cedar grays quickly in both settings without protection. Stephen McPherson runs every job personally.
Why Argyle Fences Need Regular Staining
- Harvest and Canyon Falls builder fences are reaching the end of their off-gassing period in large batches. Missing the first-stain window means the cedar grays and begins cracking before any protective layer goes on.
- Rural Argyle lots get full sun exposure with few mature trees to buffer UV. Unshaded cedar on large-acreage fence runs degrades faster than shaded urban fencing.
- Construction red clay in Argyle developments stains the base boards of new fences. Pressure washing before staining removes that clay staining and gives the stain a clean surface to bond to.
- Long fence perimeters on rural properties mean a restain deferral gets expensive quickly. Protecting early costs far less than replacing boards that have split and cupped from neglect.
Our Fence Staining Process in Argyle
- Inspect the fence for rot, warped boards, and loose posts. On new construction fences we also verify the wood has completed the 6-month off-gassing period before scheduling the stain application.
- Soft-wash at 500-1,000 PSI to remove red clay, algae, construction dust, and gray residue. Low pressure protects cedar grain.
- Let the fence dry 24-48 hours minimum. Argyle's open-sky setting usually allows good drying conditions, but we don't rush it.
- Apply penetrating semi-transparent stain to both faces of every board. One-sided staining leaves half the fence exposed to moisture wicking.
- Walk the entire fence line with you before we leave for final sign-off.
