New Fence Staining
Stain a new cedar fence within 3 months of when it's built to lock in that fresh cedar color before the West Texas sun starts graying it out.
Hudson Fence Company cleans, pressure washes, and stains wood fences across Lubbock and the South Plains with Wood Defender oil-based stain. New fence or old, built by us or someone else, we'll protect it from the West Texas sun and bring the color back.

Staining is how Hudson Fence Company got its start, and it's still one of the best things you can do for a wood fence.
Stain a new cedar fence within 3 months of when it's built to lock in that fresh cedar color before the West Texas sun starts graying it out.
Stain wears down over time. We recommend restaining every 3 to 4 years to keep your fence protected and looking its best.
Older, weathered fences get cleaned and pressure washed first to lift away dirt and gray, so the new stain soaks in evenly.
It doesn't matter who built your fence. We stain wood fences all over Lubbock, whether Hudson Fence Company installed it or not.
These three Wood Defender colors are the most popular in our market. We'll help you pick the one that fits your home at your free estimate.

A warm, orange-red finish that brings out the natural color and grain of cedar, like the gate shown here.

A medium brown with a rustic look that still lets the wood grain show through.

A darker, richer brown with a faint red undertone for a more polished, finished look.

Weathered fences get cleaned and pressure washed first. Stain soaks into clean wood, not dirt and gray fibers, so this step is what makes the color even and the finish last.
We mask off the house, concrete, landscaping, and anything else that shouldn't get stain on it, then spray the fence for full, consistent coverage without overspray where you don't want it.
We use Wood Defender Transparent and Semi-Transparent Fence Stain & Seal, penetrating oil-based stains from a Texas company. Transparent uses ultra-fine pigments that show off the wood grain, and semi-transparent adds more color and UV resistance. Both are backed by a manufacturer's warranty: two years for transparent and three years for semi-transparent.
We stain with Wood Defender, a professional-grade fence stain made for contractors.
Every fence is different, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing. Instead, we measure your fence and give you a detailed written proposal, free. The biggest factors in fence staining cost are:
We recommend staining a new cedar fence within 3 months of when it's built. That protects the wood while it still has its fresh color, before sun and weather start to gray it.
Every 3 to 4 years. The West Texas sun, wind, and dry air are hard on wood, and regular restaining keeps the fence protected and looking good.
Yes. We stain wood fences all over Lubbock and the South Plains, no matter who installed them.
Yes. Weathered fences get cleaned and pressure washed first so the stain soaks into clean wood instead of sitting on top of dirt and gray fibers.
We spray. Before we start, we mask off anything that shouldn't get stain on it, like the house, concrete, and landscaping, to prevent overspray.
We use Wood Defender Transparent and Semi-Transparent Fence Stain & Seal, both penetrating, oil-based stains from Texas-based Wood Defender. Transparent shows off the most wood grain, while semi-transparent adds more color and UV protection. We'll help you choose the right one for your fence.
Cedar Tone, Leatherwood, and Oxford Brown. Cedar Tone is a warm orange-red, Leatherwood is a rustic medium brown, and Oxford Brown is a darker, richer brown.
Every fence is different, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all pricing. Cost depends mostly on the size of the fence and whether it needs cleaning first. We'll measure it and give you a detailed written proposal at no charge.
