Jays Fencing and Painting: Best Fence Contractors Serving San Antonio, TX 78216

That's a common sign of UV damage from San Antonio's intense sun. The sun's rays break down the pigments in standard stains, causing that dull, gray appearance. At Jays Fencing and Painting, we use high-quality, UV-resistant stains that contain pigments designed to withstand direct sunlight. We also recommend a semi-transparent or solid stain with a UV blocker for maximum protection. If your fence is already faded, we can power wash it to remove the damaged layer, then apply a fresh stain with added UV protection to restore and safeguard its color.

Absolutely. Rust spots and bending are often caused by moisture getting under the paint and the gate being bumped by vehicles or heavy winds. We can address both issues. First, we'll grind away the rust, treat the metal with a rust-inhibiting primer, and repaint with a durable enamel. For bending, we can heat and straighten the metal on-site, then reinforce weak joints. This is much more cost-effective than a full replacement)Skip.

Prevention starts with the right product and application. We use stains with high UV resistance and apply two coats for deeper penetration and longer life. After that, annual maintenance is key. Simply hose off dirt and debris, and reapply a clear UV-protective top coat every two to three years. We also recommend trimming back bushes and trees that can trap moisture against the fence, which accelerates fading. If you're in a particularly sunny area near the Dominion or Stone Oak, we can suggest a shade-tolerant stain that holds up better in direct light.
