A & J pressure washing and paint - McAlester's Top-Rated Commercial Fencing

The main cause is moisture from high humidity and frequent rain, which gets trapped under old paint layers. Over time, this leads to peeling and mildew growth. A & J’s solution starts with a thorough pressure wash to remove all loose paint and contaminants, then we apply a high-quality exterior paint or stain that resists moisture and UV damage, giving your fence a longer life.

Look for visible paint chips, dark mildew spots, or areas where the wood feels rough or splintery. These signs mean the protective coating has failed. If you notice water beading up or soaking into the wood unevenly after rain, it’s time to act. A & J can pressure wash and repaint the affected sections, preventing deeper rot and saving you from replacing entire fence panels.

No—painting over flaky paint or dirt will cause the new coat to fail within months. At A & J, we always pressure wash beforehand to remove loose material and kill mildew. This step ensures the new paint bonds properly and lasts. For fences near the Lake Eufaula area, we also recommend a primer coat to seal the wood, especially after pressure washing.
