Protect Your Fairview Fence — Professional Staining
New Fairview subdivisions mean a lot of brand-new cedar fences. Alan Robinson lets fresh cedar weather three to six months, then coats both sides picket-by-picket in a cedar-tone TWP 100 finish with an airless spray with back-brush, sealing every post cap — personally completing or overseeing every project.

From Estimate to Final Walkthrough in Fairview
Fresh cedar has to breathe before it can be stained. On Fairview's new-subdivision fences, Alan waits out the three-to-six-month weathering window, then coats both sides picket-by-picket, sealing every post cap and driving the TWP 100 series stain in with an airless spray with back-brush. On the open, sunny lots here, a penetrating cedar-tone finish holds color far better than a surface film that fades and flakes.
What Makes Fairview Projects Different
Fairview's growth means fences that are younger — and more sun-exposed. The new fences going up in Chester Creek and Kyles Creek are often too fresh to stain right away, so Alan schedules them after a three-to-six-month weathering window; and because the lots are open and hilly, direct UV makes a penetrating, cedar-tone finish coated on both sides the durable choice.

Your Fence Staining & Sealing Questions — Fairview Edition
- How often should I stain my fence in Nashville?
- Nashville's climate means most wood fences need restaining every 2-3 years. Fences with heavy sun exposure on the south or west side may need attention sooner. Cedar fences in shaded areas can sometimes go 3-4 years between coats with a quality penetrating stain.
- How long does fence staining take?
- Most residential fences take 1-2 days depending on length and accessibility. Cleaning and prep happens first, then 24-48 hours of dry time before stain application. Alan schedules around weather to ensure proper drying conditions.
- Do you seal fence post caps?
- Yes — every post cap sealed is part of the standard process. Post caps are the most vulnerable point on a fence because they expose end grain to direct rainfall. Alan applies extra stain to post caps and makes sure stain soaks into every joint and fastener point.
- What time of year is best for fence staining in Nashville?
- Spring and fall are ideal — temperatures between 50-85 degrees with low humidity. Summer works too with morning application before peak heat. Alan avoids staining when rain is forecast within 48 hours or when temperatures drop below 50 degrees overnight.
