Fence Staining Calgary

A wood fence takes a beating in Calgary. UV, moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, and years of weather leave most fences looking faded and worn long before the wood actually needs replacing. In most cases, a proper sand and stain is all it takes to get years more life out of a fence — and make it look better than it has in years.
At Quality Coats, we sand, stain, and seal wood fences across Calgary and area. Solid stain, transparent stain, or a full prep and refinish — we assess the wood and recommend the right approach for the condition it’s in.

Our Fence Staining Services

We work on wood fences of all sizes — from a single backyard panel to a full property perimeter. Every job starts with a proper assessment of the wood’s condition before we recommend a finish.
Our fence services include:

• Full fence sanding and surface preparation • Wood cleaning and conditioning • Solid stain application — full colour coverage, ideal for older or weathered wood • Transparent stain application — natural wood grain preserved with full weather protection • Multi-coat application for longer-lasting results • Colour matching

Solid or Transparent — Which Is Right for Your Fence?

The right finish depends on the condition of your wood and the look you’re after.
Solid stain gives full colour coverage. It works well on older, more weathered wood where the grain isn’t worth showing. It’s durable, holds colour well, and is a good choice if you want a clean, consistent look across the whole fence.
Transparent stain lets the natural wood grain show through while protecting it from moisture and UV. It works best on newer or better-condition wood. The result is a natural look with proper weather protection.
Not sure which one? We’ll take a look at the fence and tell you straight.

How We Refinish a Fence

1. Free estimate — We come out, look at the fence, and give you a written quote.
2. Surface preparation — We sand the fence to remove old flaking stain and open up the wood. If the wood needs conditioning before staining, we handle that too.
3. Stain application — We apply your chosen stain in even coats, working section by section for a consistent finish.
4. Final review — We walk through the finished job with you before we leave.

Common Questions About Fence Staining

How often should a wood fence be stained in Calgary?

Most wood fences in Calgary need refinishing every 3 to 5 years depending on the wood, the original finish, and how much sun and moisture exposure the fence gets.

Can you stain a fence that has already been painted?

In most cases, no. Stain needs to penetrate bare or previously stained wood. A painted fence would need to be stripped first. We can assess this during the free estimate.

Do I need to do anything to prepare the fence before you arrive?

Nothing on your end. We handle all prep including sanding and conditioning as part of the job.

How long does fence staining take?

Most residential fences are completed in one day. Larger properties or fences requiring more prep work may take two days.

Do you do the fence and deck at the same time?

Yes. A lot of our customers have us do the deck and fence together. We can quote both at the same time during the free estimate.
