Professional Fence Painting & Staining Services
Protect and Beautify Your Fence with Expert Care
Your fence is more than just a boundary — it’s one of the first things people see when they approach your home. A well-maintained, freshly painted or stained fence can elevate your property’s curb appeal, add value, and protect the structure from harsh outdoor elements. At Kovar Painting & Remodeling, we specialize in residential fence painting and staining, helping homeowners extend the life of their fences while achieving a clean, polished look that complements their home’s exterior.
Whether you have a wooden privacy fence, picket fence, or decorative metal fencing, our expert team is here to deliver long-lasting, professional-grade results that stand up to the elements and enhance your outdoor space.
Why Fence Painting (or Staining) Is So Important
Fences are constantly exposed to sun, rain, wind, pests, and changing temperatures. Without proper treatment and maintenance, even the best-built fences will begin to fade, crack, rot, or rust over time.
Professional fence painting or staining offers multiple benefits:
- Protects Wood from Moisture Damage & Rot
- Prevents Fading from UV Exposure
- Discourages Mold, Mildew & Insects
- Extends the Life of Your Fence
- Improves Overall Property Appearance
- Boosts Property Value & Neighborhood Appeal
A fresh coat of paint or stain is one of the most affordable and effective ways to protect your fence and keep your yard looking its best — and no one does it better than Kovar Painting & Remodeling.

From natural wood stains to bold modern colors, we offer a wide selection of finishes to suit your home’s style and your personal taste.
Thorough Prep & Clean-Up
We don’t cut corners. Our prep process includes pressure washing, sanding, scraping, and repairing as needed to ensure a smooth, professional result. And when we’re done, we leave your property spotless.

Our Fence Painting & Staining Process
We follow a detailed, step-by-step process that ensures every fence we work on is properly protected and beautifully finished.
1. On-Site Assessment & Free Estimate
We begin with a personal visit to inspect your fence’s condition, discuss your goals, and recommend the best solution. We’ll explain your options and provide a clear, written estimate — no surprises.
2. Pressure Washing & Cleaning
We thoroughly clean the fence to remove dirt, mildew, old paint, and debris. This is a crucial step that allows the new paint or stain to bond properly with the surface.
3. Sanding & Surface Preparation
Rough or flaking areas are sanded and smoothed. We also scrape off any peeling paint and address minor repairs (like cracked boards or loose nails) before applying any finishes.
4. Priming (If Needed)
For fences being painted — especially those with bare or previously painted wood — we apply a high-quality primer to help the topcoat adhere and last longer.
5. Painting or Staining
Using professional tools like brushes, rollers, or sprayers, we apply one or two coats of exterior-grade paint or stain, depending on your preference and the material. Every board, rail, and post is coated with care and precision.
6. Final Inspection & Clean-Up
After the finish is dry, we walk through the project with you to ensure your complete satisfaction. We clean up all tools and materials and leave your yard looking better than ever.
Fence Painting vs. Fence Staining: What’s Right for You?
Not sure whether to paint or stain your fence? Here’s a quick comparison:
Fence Painting
- Offers more color options (including bright, bold, or custom colors)
- Provides a smooth, solid finish
- Ideal for older or weathered wood that needs coverage
- Needs repainting every 5–8 years (on average)
Fence Staining
- Highlights natural wood grain for a more rustic or elegant look
- Penetrates the wood, offering deeper protection from the elements
- Requires less prep when reapplying in the future
- Needs restaining every 3–5 years depending on exposure
Not sure which is best? We’ll help you decide based on your fence’s condition, your aesthetic goals, and your budget.
