Michael's Fence | Local Fencing Company in Tampa, FL

The intense UV exposure from the Florida sun is the primary cause of fence discoloration and fading in the Tampa area. This constant sunlight breaks down the stains and finishes over time, turning vibrant colors into dull, grayish tones. Additionally, the high humidity and frequent rainstorms can wash away protective sealants, accelerating the fading process.

Look for signs like peeling, flaking, or patchy areas where the stain no longer covers the wood. You may also notice that water no longer beads up on the surface but instead soaks right in, leaving dark, wet spots. Another clear indicator is when the wood starts to feel rough or splintery, showing that the protective layer has worn away and your fence is exposed to moisture and UV damage.

Our recommended solution is a thorough cleaning with a gentle wood cleaner and pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and old, failing stain. After the fence dries completely, we apply a high-quality, UV-resistant stain and sealer designed specifically for Florida's climate. This process not only restores the original color but also provides long-lasting protection against future fading and moisture damage.
