Fence Painting and Staining

Large scale cedar fence staining project in Woodinville WA

Precision Restoration

A cedar fence in the Pacific Northwest is under constant biological attack from moisture, moss, and UV rays. At Elegant Painting®, our fence restoration process begins with a delicate pressure wash to remove oxidation and organic growth without "furring" the wood fibers.

Expert Commentary: Stain vs. Paint

For most Eastside properties, we recommend penetrating oil stains over traditional paint. While paint sits on the surface, oil-based stains penetrate deep into the cedar, replenishing the wood's natural oils and allowing it to breathe. This prevents the peeling and moisture-trapping that often leads to premature fence failure in Sammamish and Woodinville.

The Hand-Brushed Advantage

While many companies simply spray and walk away, we emphasize back-brushing. This manual process forces the material into the wood grain, ensuring 100% coverage and a uniform finish that outlasts spray-only applications by years.
