Surface condition

Know what needs work

Look past the color when you decide what your fence needs.

A worn finish

Peeling paint, chalking and bare wood need prep before a new coat goes on.

Uneven color

Replacement boards or uneven fading can leave sections that don't match. Paint can bring suitable surfaces back to one even color.

How we approach it

From inspection to finish

Prep and related repairs can go into the project scope you choose.

Settle the work
Note the material, existing finish, sections included and repair needs.
Prepare the surface
Clean, take off failing paint, sand where needed and leave enough drying time. Check for rotting wood or rust.
Protect and coat
Protect plants, paving and hardware, and pick a compatible primer and exterior paint.
Check coverage
Check boards, edges, posts and gates, and follow the product's curing instructions.

Local weather

Dry to the touch isn't the whole test

On wooded Sandy Springs lots, some fence sections stay shaded long after the open boards have dried. Humidity and rain in the region also affect washing and painting.

After cleaning, check several boards with a wood moisture meter, especially in shade and near the ground. Compare the readings with the coating manufacturer's moisture limit. Don't paint damp or rotten wood.

A clear scope

What affects the estimate

Your estimate depends on fence length, height, how many sides are included, material and coating condition. Cleaning, scraping, sanding, primer, repairs, gates and posts also affect the scope. Mention thick vegetation or tight access.

Ask for a free, itemized estimate so you can see the painting separately from the prep and repairs.

Questions about fence painting in Sandy Springs

Should my fence be painted or stained?

Paint gives an even, opaque color. Stain is an alternative for suitable wood; the existing coating and the look you want help decide which finish fits.

How long should a washed wood fence dry?

There's no single drying time. Shade, humidity and the condition of the wood all matter. Check moisture readings against the coating manufacturer's limit before painting.

Can peeling paint simply be recoated?

Loose, failing paint has to come off first. Rotten wood, wobbly boards and moisture problems should be fixed before any coating.

Does the estimate include both sides, posts and gates?

That depends on the scope you choose. List each side, fence section, gate and post you want included in the itemized estimate.
