Fence Staining

A fence weathered gray,

— sealed & stained rich again.

Gray, splintering pickets losing their color to the weather? A vetted local pro — often a neighbor handy with a brush — preps and stains every board to a rich, even color that guards against rot, for an offer you set. You pick them by name, rating, and reviews.

Why fence staining is better here

Three things a fence crew won’t do

Gopher isn’t a fencing company with a minimum charge. It’s a local marketplace built on three simple rules.

🤝

Hassle free & haggle free

Make an offer up front or ask for instant bids. Either way you’ll experience the easiest way to find great workers ever — a single panel or the whole fence line.

💵

Paid directly

Your pro is paid directly and keeps 100% of your offer — 0% commission. The stain and sealer are bought at cost, the real price, never padded.

🪵

Booked to done

A pro you pick by name and rating handles it start to finish — boards prepped, every picket and rail coated even, sealed against gray and rot. Cleaned up after, color rich.

What changes for you

Staining with Gopher vs. a fence crew

Same graying boards, very different deal. Here’s what shifts when a neighbor handles it instead of a crew with a minimum charge.

What changes
Fence Crews & DIY
The Gopher Way
💵What you pay
×A crew’s minimum charge and a padded quote — whether it’s one panel or the whole line.
You name the offer and your pro keeps 100% of it. A single panel or the whole fence line.
🧑‍🔧Who does the work
×A rotating crew you never met — or you and a brush losing a whole weekend.
A vetted local pro you pick by name, rating & reviews preps and coats it right. You just pick the color.
🎨What gets done
×A flat package whether your fence needs a quick coat or a full prep first.
Exactly what you ask for: clean, prep, stain and seal — the color and finish you chose, both sides if you like.
🪵The result
×A rushed coat that streaks the boards and flakes off by next year.
Every picket and rail coated even and rich — sealed against gray and rot, no missed spots.
💲Stain & sealer
×Materials marked up and folded into a bill you can’t itemize.
Stain and sealer at cost — the real price of what you picked, never padded on top.
🔁One job or standing
×A standing contract you re-sign just to keep the fence from graying out.
A one-time refinish, or a standing slot — rebook the same pro every few seasons to keep it rich.
No surprises
