A fence isn’t just a boundary, it frames your home, keeps your kids and pets safe, and sets the tone from the street. But in this Texas heat? Wood doesn’t stand a chance without protection.
That’s where we come in. At Top-Notch Fence & Deck, we stain and seal fences to bring out their natural beauty and keep them strong for the long haul.
New cedar? We’ll make it pop. Weathered pine? We’ll bring it back to life. It’s all about helping your fence look great and last longer.
Let’s protect what frames your home.
Austin weather is brutal on wood. You might not notice the damage right away — but year after year, your fence quietly suffers from:
Staining your fence isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade. It’s a protective treatment that extends the life of your fence by years, saving you money, improving your curb appeal, and avoiding early replacement.
We don’t just spray and walk away. Our professional process ensures deep, even stain penetration, full coverage, and long-lasting results.
We evaluate the condition of your fence and recommend the right type of stain and finish, transparent, semi-transparent, or solid color, based on your goals.
We power wash or soft-clean the wood to remove dirt, mildew, and loose debris. This step is critical to ensure the stain adheres evenly and lasts longer.
We let the wood dry properly, inspect for repairs, and sand rough spots or heavily weathered areas if needed.
Using brush, roller, and/or sprayer, we apply premium-grade stain for a smooth, consistent finish. We also stain gates and posts thoroughly.
Many of our stain products include built-in sealants. For extra protection, we can apply a separate sealant layer for maximum water resistance.
Your fence should complement your home — not clash with it. We offer a variety of finishes and tones to match your architecture, deck, and landscape.
We use only high-quality, oil- and water-based stains from trusted brands like Ready Seal, Cabot, and Wood Defender, designed specifically for Texas climates.

Most residential fences cost between $500 and $1,800 depending on size, condition, and stain type. We provide upfront, transparent quotes.
Typically 2–3 years. Sun-exposed fences may need reapplication sooner, while shaded areas may last longer.
Spring and fall are ideal, but we stain year-round as long as temperatures stay between 50°F–90°F and it’s dry for 24–48 hours.
Yes, but DIY staining often leads to uneven coverage, missed spots, and early peeling. Our professional tools and prep ensure better, longer-lasting results.
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the fence and instructions, we can complete the job and keep you updated.
