Now listen, we know a lotta folks like doin’ things themselves. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. But when it comes to stainin’ a fence, there’s a few reasons why lettin’ a pro handle it might just be the better way to go.

We’re Cantrell Fence, and we’ve been doin’ this work right here in East Tennessee for a long time. So we figured we’d tell you straight how it is — no fluff, no fancy words, just the truth.

We Know When the Time’s Right

Most folks don’t realize you can’t stain a new fence right away. That wood needs time to dry out first. Sometimes it takes 4 weeks, sometimes longer. A pro like us knows how to check the wood and pick the perfect time to get started. If you stain it too early, it’ll just peel right off later. That’s wasted time and money.

We Got the Right Tools

Brushin’ and rollin’ stain takes time, and it can get real messy real quick. We’ve got the sprayers, brushes, and all the little tools that make it go smooth. We lay down tarps, tape off what needs tapin’, and make sure the stain goes where it’s supposed to — not on your house, flowers, or dog.

We Use Good Products

There’s a big difference between the cheap stain you find at the store and the good stuff we use. A lotta store-bought stain don’t last too long and fades real fast. We use stain that soaks in deep and keeps your fence protected for years. We also know when you need sealer and when you don’t.

You Don’t Have to Worry About Nothin’

Let’s be honest — stainin’ a fence ain’t easy work. You gotta prep the wood, clean it, wait for the right weather, then stain it right so it don’t run or blotch. If you hire us, you won’t have to lift a finger. We’ll take care of everything, and we’ll clean up when we’re done too.

It’ll Last Longer

When a pro stains your fence, it lasts longer. That means fewer touch-ups, less flakin’, and a better look for more years. We don’t rush the job or cut corners. We treat your fence like it was our own, and we do it right the first time.

You’ll Save Time

Even a small fence can take a full day to stain. A big one? You’ll be out there for a whole weekend, maybe more. And that’s if everything goes right. We’ve done this hundreds of times — we’re fast, we’re careful, and we don’t waste time.

The Fence Just Looks Better

Let’s be honest — stainin’ a fence takes a little skill. If you ain’t done it before, it can end up streaky, uneven, or spotty. We’ve got a good eye and a steady hand. Your fence will look clean, smooth, and sharp when we’re done.

We Stand Behind Our Work

When you hire us, you’re not just payin’ for the work — you’re gettin’ peace of mind. If anything don’t look right or needs touchin’ up, we’ll come back and make it right. You don’t get that with a do-it-yourself job.
