Cedar Fence and Deck Stain — Prairie Village, KS

Cedar Fence and Deck Staining — Prairie Village, KS

We pressure-washed both the cedar fence and the deck boards, let them dry to 18 percent moisture, then applied two coats of semi-transparent penetrating stain via spray-and-back-brush method. The result is an even amber tone with the grain still visible. Gate hardware was masked to prevent stain bleed.

One call covered two surfaces: the backyard cedar privacy fence and the raised deck were stained the same day using the same semi-transparent penetrating stain for a unified finish. The fence and deck had both been installed four years apart, which meant their stain cycles had drifted. Doing both together resets the timeline so they come due on the same schedule going forward.

Two-year re-coat cycle in KC

Prairie Village sits in the heart of Johnson County's UV exposure zone — summers average 60-plus days above 90°F, which breaks down UV-blocking compounds in fence stain faster than milder climates. A 2-3 year re-coat cycle keeps the wood protected and makes the stain job easier because the wood hasn't chalked out completely. Our fence staining and sealing work includes the re-coat schedule on every invoice so homeowners don't have to guess.

Unified outdoor space

Matching the deck to the fence stain brings the whole outdoor space together visually. We noted the exact stain product and batch color for this property so future re-coats match perfectly. If any fence repair is needed before the next stain cycle, the repair boards can be pre-treated to match the weathered color.
