Northlake has some of the longest fence runs in the DFW area. Large rural lots with minimal mature tree coverage mean cedar fences here face maximum UV exposure with no buffer from shade. An unprotected cedar board in full North Texas sun on an open Northlake lot degrades faster than in any other setting in the region. Long fence perimeters on these properties also mean the replacement cost of doing nothing is higher than anywhere else. Stephen McPherson runs every job and gives every linear foot the same attention.
Why Northlake Fences Need Regular Staining
- Large rural lots in Northlake routinely produce 300-400 foot fence perimeters. Full sun exposure across that much linear footage without stain protection accelerates degradation across the entire fence at once.
- Minimal tree canopy in Northlake's open rural setting means no shade protection for cedar boards. UV at 32 degrees north latitude hits unshaded cedar hard from March through October.
- New Northlake developments are adding cedar fences alongside home construction. Off-gassing of new cedar takes 6 months, and many homeowners don't know to wait before staining.
- Wind exposure on open rural lots drives moisture into fence board joints and bases. Penetrating stain in board ends and bases provides the moisture resistance these locations need.
Our Fence Staining Process in Northlake
- Inspect the full fence run for rot, warped boards, loose posts, and sun damage. Long runs in Northlake can have degraded sections in one area and serviceable cedar in another. We document the full picture.
- Soft-wash at 500-1,000 PSI to remove algae, mildew, and UV gray. Full-sun fences in Northlake clean up well because they typically have mildew at lower levels than shaded fences in other cities.
- Let the fence dry 24-48 hours. Open-sky Northlake properties typically allow efficient drying. We verify before stain day.
- Apply penetrating semi-transparent stain to both faces of every board. Maximum UV exposure requires full board penetration on all surfaces.
- Walk the complete fence line with you for sign-off.
