Fence and exterior coatings in Kansas City
Fences, gates, pergolas, sheds, and outbuildings sealed against the weather that gray and warp them. Licensed and insured, family-owned, free proposals within one business day.
What a fence coating does
A fence is the first thing people see, and the first thing the weather attacks. Our fence coatings seal out moisture that warps and rots boards, block the UV that bleaches them gray, and give the whole property a crisp, cared-for look in a single pass.
A fence weathers harder than almost anything else on a property, because both faces of every board are exposed and the posts are sitting in wet ground. That is why fences fail unevenly: the south-facing side bleaches out while the shaded side holds moisture and grows algae, and the bottom rail goes soft years before the pickets do. Sealing the whole run at once, both faces, is what evens that out and stops the process rather than slowing it down.
- Years more life per fence. Sealed boards resist rot, warping, and insect damage.
- Uniform, rich finish. One clean color across every board and post.
- Faster and cheaper than replacement. Protect the fence you already own.
- Serious curb appeal. A coated fence frames the whole property.
Used on wood privacy fences, ranch and rail fencing, gates, and pergolas.
Not everything on a property fits a neat category
If something outside your house is fading, cracking, rusting, or wearing down, tell us about it. We will match the right coating system to the job, or tell you honestly if coating is not the answer.
Fences, gates, and pergolas
Wood privacy fences, ranch and rail fencing, gates that have started to drag, and pergolas that have gone silver. Sealed in one uniform color across every board, post, and rail so the run reads as one thing again.
Sheds and outbuildings
Detached garages, workshops, barns, and garden sheds. The buildings nobody budgets for until the siding starts opening up, and the ones where a coating buys the most time for the least money.
Metal buildings and steel
Metal buildings, siding panels, and steel that has started to chalk or show surface rust. Different substrate, different preparation, same principle: stop the surface degrading before it turns into a replacement.
One trusted crew for all of it, rather than juggling a separate contractor per surface.
A coated fence frames the whole property
It is the cheapest thing on the list that changes how the entire lot reads from the street, and it is the one most likely to be replaced instead of protected.
Prep is what decides whether the finish holds
Wood outdoors moves, holds water, and usually has something on it already. All three have to be dealt with before a finish goes on.
Clean down to sound wood
Gray, degraded surface fibers, algae on the shaded side, and old failing stain all come off first. New finish bonded to a failing one is only as good as the layer underneath it, which is usually not good at all.
The wood has to be dry
Sealing a board still carrying water traps it inside, and the finish lifts as the board dries out underneath. We wait for the right moisture level rather than working around it, even when that means a weather delay.
Boards, posts, and hardware
Loose pickets, popped fasteners, dragging gates, and rot at the bottom rail get addressed before coating. A finish does not hold a fence together, and it will not hide a post that has gone soft at ground level.
What the job looks like
-
Walk the property with an owner
We look at the full run of fence, the gates, and anything else outside you want handled while we are there. Free, no obligation.
-
Written proposal
System, color, exactly what is included, schedule, warranty, and itemized pricing, in writing before anything is committed.
-
Clean, strip, and repair
The old finish and degraded surface come off, and loose boards, fasteners, and gate hardware are put right.
-
Let it dry
The wood reaches the right moisture level before anything is sealed. This is the step that decides whether the finish lasts.
-
Coat both faces and walk it with you
The finish goes on across boards, posts, rails, and gates. We walk the run with you and leave the site clean.
What is warrantied, and what it costs
Every surface we coat carries a workmanship warranty, from 1 to 15 years depending on the surface and the system specified. The exact term for your fence is spelled out in writing in your proposal. If our workmanship fails, we make it right.
Coating a surface typically saves 50 to 70% against a full tear-out and replacement, and coating projects generally start around $1,500 and up. Exact pricing is itemized in your written proposal. Payment plans are available — see payment options.
We are a licensed and insured, family-owned LLC based in the Kansas City metro. The owners are the people who walk the property, write the proposal, and answer the phone.
Fence coating FAQ
Have a question we haven't covered? Call or text us and ask.
Request a ProposalMy fence is gray and weathered. Can it be brought back?
In most cases, yes. The gray is degraded surface fiber, and it comes off during prep to expose sound wood underneath, which then takes a uniform color. What ends the conversation is rot — particularly at the bottom rail and where posts meet the ground. If we find that, we will tell you which sections need replacing before anything gets coated.
Do you coat both sides of the fence?
Both faces weather, so both faces are worth sealing, and doing only one side is a common reason a fence keeps failing unevenly. What is included in your job is written into the scope in your proposal, so there is no ambiguity about where the work stops — including where a neighbour's side is involved.
Can you match the color of my deck?
That is a very common request, and doing the deck and the fence in one visit is usually cheaper than doing them separately. Bring it up at the walkthrough and both scopes go into a single proposal.
What about a shed, a barn, or a metal building?
All of those are on the list. Sheds, detached garages, workshops, barns, pergolas, and metal buildings are exactly the kind of thing this service covers. Different substrates get different preparation and different systems, which is what the on-site assessment establishes before anything is quoted.
How long does a fence take?
Most residential projects are measured in days rather than weeks. Exterior work depends on weather, because the wood has to be dry before it is sealed, so the schedule in your proposal accounts for that rather than promising a date the weather might not allow.
