Protect every board on all four sides — before it's even installed.
When a fence or pergola is built the traditional way, only the exposed face gets stained. The backs, tops, and bottoms of the boards? Completely unprotected. Moisture wicks in from every hidden surface, and that's where warping, cracking, and rot start — from the inside out.
Pre-staining solves that problem. We coat every board on all four sides with premium stain and sealant before installation. The result is wood that's sealed from every angle and lasts dramatically longer than boards stained after the fact.
Every surface is sealed — front, back, top, and bottom. No hidden wood left exposed to moisture.
Pre-stained boards resist warping, cracking, and rot far longer than boards stained after installation.
Sealed end-cuts and hidden faces prevent moisture wicking — the #1 cause of premature wood failure.
Boards stained flat and individually get more even color than boards stained after they're nailed up.
A small upfront investment prevents expensive board replacements and early restaining down the road.
No drips, no runs, no missed spots. Each board gets full, even coverage in a controlled environment.
Boards are delivered to our facility or we pick them up from your supplier. We coordinate timing with your build schedule.
We inspect each board for defects and prep surfaces for optimal stain absorption. Any warped or damaged boards are flagged before staining.
Every board is coated on all four sides — front, back, top, and bottom — with premium stain and sealant. Full, even coverage from end to end.
Boards are racked and dried to full cure before handling or transport. This ensures a durable finish that won't transfer during installation.
Boards are stacked, labeled, and ready for your installer to pick up or for us to deliver to the job site.
