Fence Installation Leland NC | Call D & M Fence Staining

The primary cause is the combination of high humidity, frequent rain, and intense UV exposure typical of coastal North Carolina. This moisture allows mildew and algae to grow, while the sun's rays break down the wood's natural lignin, leading to a gray, weathered appearance. D & M Fence Staining addresses this by thoroughly cleaning the wood and applying a UV-resistant stain that seals out moisture, preventing the graying process from returning.

Look for visible signs of water damage like dark spots, peeling or cracking stain, splintering wood, and a powdery, gray surface. You may also notice green or black mildew growth, especially on shaded sides of the fence near wooded areas like those in Mallory Creek. If water no longer beads on the surface but soaks in immediately, it's time for a professional stain to prevent rot and costly repairs.

Our process starts with a gentle pressure washing using a specialized cleaner to kill and remove mildew, mold, and algae without damaging the wood. We then apply a high-quality, mildewcide-infused stain that penetrates deep into the grain, creating a protective barrier. This not only restores the fence's color but also prevents future mildew growth, keeping your fence looking fresh and structurally sound for years.
