Colorado’s Most Trusted Fence Painting & Staining Experts
A well-maintained fence does more than define your property—it enhances curb appeal, adds privacy, and protects your investment. However, Colorado’s harsh climate poses a serious threat to unprotected wood. With intense UV rays, heavy snowfall, fluctuating temperatures, and dry air, fences in Colorado face a constant battle against warping, cracking, and premature aging. Proper fence painting and staining are essential to ensure long-term durability and keep your fence looking its best.
At DHI, we specialize in professional fence painting, staining, and sealing for residential, commercial, and multi-family properties. With decades of experience working on cedar, redwood, pine, and pressure-treated fences, we know exactly how to protect your wood from Colorado’s unique environmental challenges. Whether you want to refresh an old fence, protect a new installation, or change the color to match your home or business, our skilled fence painters deliver expert craftsmanship with long-lasting results.
Why Fence Painting & Staining Are Essential in Colorado
Many homeowners and property managers assume fences will last indefinitely without maintenance, but Colorado’s extreme weather conditions take a toll on untreated wood. Direct sun exposure causes fading and drying, while snow, ice, and rain lead to water damage, mold, and rot. Without a proper finish, your fence could crack, warp, and deteriorate within a few years.
DHI’s professional fence painting and staining services create a strong protective barrier, shielding your fence from:
- UV Rays – Prevents fading, drying, and splitting.
- Moisture Damage – Reduces swelling, warping, and rotting.
- Temperature Fluctuations – Prevents cracking from seasonal expansion and contraction.
- Insects & Decay – Creates a sealed surface to keep out pests and fungal growth.
Investing in professional fence painting or staining not only enhances your property’s beauty but also extends your fence’s lifespan, preventing costly repairs or early replacement.
Fence Painting vs. Fence Staining: What’s Best for Your Property?
Choosing the right finish for your fence depends on your style preferences, the type of wood, and how much maintenance you’re willing to commit to over time. DHI offers expert consultation to help determine the best option for your needs.
| Finish Type | Best For | Protection Level | Maintenance | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fence Painting | Bold color changes & maximum protection | Superior UV & moisture resistance | Minimal touch-ups every few years | 7-10 years |
| Solid Stain | Strong color with some wood grain showing | Excellent protection from elements | Occasional reapplication needed | 5-7 years |
| Semi-Transparent Stain | Enhancing natural wood grain | Good protection, natural look | Requires reapplication every 3-5 years | 3-5 years |
| Clear Sealant | Preserving natural wood color | Basic moisture protection, no UV shielding | Requires frequent reapplication | 2-3 years |
DHI’s experts help homeowners and business owners determine the ideal solution based on their aesthetic preferences and long-term maintenance goals.
Choosing the Right Paint & Stain for Colorado’s Climate
Not all paints and stains hold up against Colorado’s intense sun and unpredictable weather. Using the wrong products can result in premature peeling, cracking, or fading, requiring constant reapplications. At DHI, we use only premium, exterior-grade paints, stains, and sealants specifically designed to endure Colorado’s climate.
Our preferred materials include:
- Acrylic-Latex Paint – Highly durable and resistant to moisture, great for full coverage and color consistency.
- Oil-Based Stains – Deep penetration for superior wood protection, ideal for highlighting natural grain.
- Water-Based Stains – Eco-friendly, fast-drying, and resistant to mold and mildew.
- UV-Resistant Sealers – Clear finishes that provide moisture protection while preventing sun damage.
We apply all products using professional-grade techniques, ensuring an even, flawless finish that withstands the elements for years to come.
Why Experience Matters for Fence Painting & Staining
Fence painting and staining require specialized knowledge and technique to ensure the finish adheres properly and lasts through Colorado’s seasons. Many DIY and low-cost fence painting jobs fail because of improper prep work, poor product selection, or rushed application techniques.
At DHI, our fence painting and staining process includes:
- Thorough surface preparation, including pressure washing and sanding to remove dirt, debris, and old coatings.
- High-quality primers and sealants to prevent peeling and moisture infiltration.
- Professional spray or brush application for smooth, even coverage without streaks or drips.
- Durable topcoats that lock in color and provide long-lasting protection.
With DHI’s expert craftsmanship, your fence won’t just look good today—it will continue looking great for years to come.
