Fence Painting & Staining

A fence is the first thing people see and the last thing that gets looked after. Most of the work in bringing one back is not the painting, it is taking the old failing coat off so the new one has something to hold onto.

Why Vancouver Homeowners Choose Beyond The Brush

Beyond The Brush is a locally owned and operated company. Sunny owns it, has been in the local painting trade for over 20 years, and is on the job himself rather than behind a desk. Fences take weather from both sides and get the least attention of anything on a property. These come up every time.

“It is peeling so badly I assumed it needed replacing.”

If the wood underneath is sound, it does not. The scraping takes longer on a fence in that state, and that is what the estimate reflects.

“The last painter only did the side facing the street.”

We tell you exactly which sides the price covers before we start. Doing both sides is real extra labour and we will not pretend otherwise.

“I do not want paint chips through my vegetable beds.”

Beds and lawn get covered before we start, and old scrapings get cleaned up rather than left in the garden.

“The gate never shut properly afterwards.”

The gate gets the same treatment as the fence, and we check it still swings and latches before we leave.

Our Standard of Work on Every Fence

You can roll fresh paint straight onto a peeling fence. It will look good for a season and then peel in exactly the same places.

Fence Painting & Staining: our standard of work

Backed in writing

  1. Peeling paint is scraped back to a surface the new coat can hold. This is most of the labour on a fence, and it is what the estimate is really for.
  2. We are clear about which sides are included. Both sides is a real difference in work, so it is spelled out in the estimate rather than assumed.
  3. Bare and weathered wood gets primed before colour. Grey, sun-worn timber will drink a finish coat and leave you with a patchy fence.
  4. Loose boards and popped nails get sorted first. A fence that moves cracks its own finish.
  5. Gardens, beds and lawn are covered before we start. Fences usually have planting on both sides of them.
  6. Posts and rails are coated, not just the pickets facing the street. The parts you see from your own garden get the same coat.
  7. We clean up the scrapings. Old paint chips do not get left in your flower beds.
  8. We check the gate still swings and latches before we leave. A freshly coated gate that binds on its post is not finished work.

If we miss any of it, tell us and we come back. Every job carries a written 5-year warranty and we are insured to $2,000,000.

FAQs - Fence Painting and Staining in Vancouver

Do you paint both sides of the fence?
We can. It is close to double the work, so we make it clear in the estimate exactly which sides the price covers rather than leaving it to be argued about later.
My fence is peeling badly. Is it worth painting?
Usually yes, as long as the wood underneath is still sound. The scraping takes longer on a fence in that condition, and the estimate will reflect that honestly.
Can you match my neighbour's colour or my house trim?
Yes. We can take a sample from the existing coat and match to it.
What happens with the gate?
The gate gets the same treatment as the rest of the fence, and we check that it still swings and latches properly once the coating has gone on.
Will you get paint on my plants?
No. Beds and lawn are covered before we start, and we clear up the scrapings rather than leaving old paint chips in your garden.
How long does a fence take?
Most residential fences are one to two days, depending on the length and how much scraping the old coat needs.
