Benefits of Professional Fence Coating
Weather Protection
Premium coatings shield fencing from UV damage, moisture intrusion, temperature extremes, and environmental stressors that cause premature deterioration.
Cost Savings
Proper fence maintenance extends lifespan by 10-15 years, delaying costly replacement. Regular refinishing costs 30-50% less than full fence replacement.
Enhanced Curb Appeal
Fresh, professional fence finishes dramatically improve property appearance, creating positive first impressions for clients, tenants, and visitors.
Property Value
Well-maintained fencing increases commercial property values by 5-10% and improves marketability for sales or leasing opportunities.
Structural Integrity
Protective coatings prevent rot, rust, and material degradation that compromise fence stability and security, maintaining structural soundness.
Custom Aesthetics
Unlimited color options and finish styles allow perfect coordination with building exteriors, landscaping, and corporate branding standards.
Our Professional Fence Painting Process
Moorhouse Coating follows a proven 5-step methodology that ensures exceptional results and maximum coating longevity. Our systematic approach combines industry best practices with advanced materials science for superior fence protection and appearance.
Step 1: Comprehensive Fence Assessment
Our certified fence coating specialists conduct detailed evaluations of your commercial fencing system. We assess material condition, identify structural issues, evaluate weathering patterns, and analyze environmental exposure factors. This assessment determines the optimal coating system, surface preparation requirements, and repair priorities. We document fence condition with photography and provide detailed recommendations for both immediate needs and long-term maintenance strategies.
During assessment, we identify moisture damage, insect infestation, rust formation, UV degradation, and previous coating failures. We also evaluate accessibility challenges, landscaping protection needs, and operational constraints to develop efficient project execution plans.
Step 2: Professional Power Washing & Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is the foundation of long-lasting fence coatings. Our professional power washing removes dirt, mildew, algae, old coatings, and environmental contaminants. We adjust pressure and technique based on fence material—gentle for wood to prevent fiber damage, aggressive for metal to remove rust and corrosion.
Following power washing, we sand rough areas, scrape loose paint, and feather edges for smooth transitions. Wood fences receive grain-raising techniques to ensure deep stain penetration. Metal surfaces are wire-brushed and degreased for optimal primer adhesion. All surfaces are allowed proper drying time before coating application—typically 24-48 hours depending on weather conditions.
Step 3: Repair Work & Treatment Application
Structural integrity comes first. Our crews repair or replace damaged fence boards, tighten loose fasteners, reinforce weak sections, and address any safety concerns. Wood fences receive wood preservative treatments that prevent rot, insect damage, and moisture intrusion. These penetrating preservatives create a protective barrier deep within wood fibers.
Metal fences undergo rust conversion treatments that chemically neutralize corrosion and create stable surfaces for coating adhesion. We apply specialized rust-inhibiting primers that provide corrosion protection at the molecular level. Damaged metal sections receive professional welding repairs and anti-corrosion treatment. Vinyl and composite fences receive adhesion promoters that ensure proper coating bonding.
Step 4: Expert Coating Application
Application technique significantly impacts coating performance. Our professional crews use HVLP spray systems for uniform coverage on large fence sections, brush application for detail work and vertical surfaces, and roller techniques for textured materials. We monitor weather conditions continuously, adjusting schedules to maintain optimal temperature, humidity, and wind conditions.
Wood fences receive 2-3 coats of premium stain or paint with proper dry times between coats. We use back-brushing techniques to work stain deep into wood grain for maximum penetration and protection. Metal fences receive rust-inhibiting primer plus two finish coats for comprehensive corrosion resistance. All coatings are applied at manufacturer-recommended thickness to ensure warranty compliance and performance specifications.
Step 5: Quality Inspection & Final Touch-Up
Quality assurance is built into every project. Our project managers conduct thorough inspections of the entire fence line, checking for complete coverage, even color application, proper coating thickness, and professional appearance. We use bright lighting and multiple viewing angles to identify any areas requiring touch-up.
Touch-up work addresses missed spots, overspray cleanup, and perfecting details around gates, posts, and decorative elements. We remove all protective coverings, clean work areas, and restore landscaping. Final walkthrough with property managers ensures complete satisfaction before project closeout. We provide maintenance recommendations and establish follow-up inspection schedules for long-term protection.

Commercial Fence Painting FAQs
Q1: How often should commercial fences be painted or stained?
Commercial fences typically need repainting or restaining every 5-8 years for wood fences and 8-12 years for metal fences, depending on material quality, climate exposure, and maintenance. Regular inspection helps determine optimal timing for refinishing. Our weather-resistant coatings are designed to maximize protection in harsh commercial environments.
Q2: What's the difference between fence painting and staining?
Staining penetrates wood fibers to enhance natural grain while providing protection, typically lasting 3-5 years. Painting creates a protective surface layer that completely covers the material, usually lasting 6-10 years. We recommend staining for natural wood appearance and painting for maximum protection and color options. For HOA properties, we can match existing color standards.
Q3: Can you paint chain link and metal fences?
Yes, we specialize in metal fence painting including chain link, wrought iron, aluminum, and steel fencing. We use rust-inhibiting primers and high-quality metal paints that provide excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance for long-lasting results. Our process includes thorough surface preparation, rust treatment, and multiple coats for maximum durability.
Q4: Do you work around business operations and landscaping?
Absolutely. We coordinate with property managers to minimize disruption to business operations and protect landscaping during fence painting projects. We can work in sections, use protective coverings, and schedule around peak business hours when needed. Our crews are trained in minimal-disruption techniques for active commercial properties.
Q5: What weather conditions are needed for fence painting?
Optimal conditions include temperatures between 50-85°F, humidity below 70%, and no precipitation in the forecast for 24-48 hours. We monitor weather closely and adjust schedules to ensure proper application and curing conditions for lasting results. Our Arizona, Texas, and California locations allow year-round scheduling in most regions.
Q6: Do you provide maintenance programs for large commercial properties?
Yes, we offer customized maintenance programs for commercial properties with extensive fencing. These programs include regular inspections, touch-up services, and scheduled refinishing to keep your fencing looking professional while extending its lifespan and reducing long-term costs. Multi-year contracts available with priority scheduling.
Q7: How much does commercial fence painting cost?
Commercial fence painting costs range from $3-$15 per linear foot, depending on fence height, material, condition, and coating type. Wood fence staining averages $5-$12 per linear foot, while metal fence painting runs $6-$15 per linear foot. We provide detailed quotes with transparent pricing after an on-site assessment. Volume discounts available for properties with 500+ linear feet.
Q8: What types of fences can you paint or stain?
We work with all commercial fence types including wood privacy fences, chain link, wrought iron, aluminum, steel, vinyl (restoration), composite, and decorative fencing.
