Califan Painting - Sioux Falls's Professional Privacy Fence Installation

For fence painting or staining, we start by thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove dirt and mildew, which is common in our humid summers. We then apply a high-quality primer and finish, either by spray or brush, ensuring even coverage. For wood fences, we recommend a stain that protects against moisture and UV rays, while for metal fences, we use a rust-inhibiting paint. We work with you to choose the right color and finish that complements your home's exterior.

Yes, we handle wallpaper removal in all types of homes, including older properties in neighborhoods like the Cathedral District. The process involves scoring the wallpaper, applying a stripping solution, and carefully scraping it off without damaging the drywall. After removal, we repair any imperfections and prepare the wall for painting or new wallpaper. This service is especially useful for homes with multiple layers of old wallpaper.

Given our local climate—with hot summers, cold winters, and frequent freeze-thaw cycles—the key is proper sealing. We apply a high-quality exterior stain or paint that is flexible enough to expand and contract with temperature changes. For wooden fences, we use a semi-transparent stain that penetrates the wood, or a solid stain for more coverage. We also recommend annual inspections to catch any peeling or cracking early, which helps extend the life of your fence.
