Serving the Greater San Francisco Bay Area

Protective Fence Painting Services In Oakland & Surrounding Areas

Your fence faces constant exposure to the San Francisco Bay‘s fog, sun, wind, and rain. Without proper protection, wood fences crack, warp, fade, and rot, turning an asset into an eyesore. Since 2004, Arana Craftsman Painters has restored thousands of fences across the San Francisco Bay using premium stains and paints designed for vertical outdoor surfaces.

Our process starts with thorough cleaning to remove dirt, mildew, and failed coatings. We repair damaged boards, sand rough surfaces, and apply weather-resistant finishes that penetrate deep into the wood for lasting protection.

Whether you want a natural wood stain that highlights grain or a solid-color paint that complements your home, we’ll help you choose the right product and apply it with the same precision we bring to every project.

Professional Fence Painters

Full-spectrum Exterior Structure Protection

Fence painting and staining isn’t just about appearance. It’s about extending the life of your investment. The San Francisco Bay‘s climate puts wood to the test, cycling between moisture and dry heat that causes expansion, contraction, and eventual failure.

Our fence painting process includes pressure washing to remove contaminants, replacing or repairing damaged pickets and rails, sanding splinters and rough spots, applying premium stains or solid-color coatings designed for fences, and sealing to lock in protection.

We use products from Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and other trusted manufacturers engineered for the San Francisco Bay‘s unique microclimates. Our 10 full-time crews have completed thousands of fence projects, and we’ve learned that proper prep and quality coatings determine how long your fence looks great and performs as intended.

Fence Staining & Painting

When you choose Arana Craftsman Painters for fence staining or painting, you’re choosing a comprehensive approach that covers every detail.

We assess your fence’s condition during the complimentary consult, recommend the best coating based on your goals and the wood’s condition, handle all surface prep and repairs, apply coatings with proper technique, and clean up completely when finished.

Most fence projects take 2 to 5 days, depending on linear footage and condition. We work efficiently, protect your landscaping, and communicate throughout the process.

While fence coatings typically aren’t covered under the same 5-year warranty as house painting, we stand behind our workmanship and use only products proven to perform in the San Francisco Bay‘s challenging climate.

Our Professional Painting FAQs

Look for painters with experience in exterior wood finishing, proper surface prep techniques (cleaning, sanding, repairs), and quality products designed for fences. At Arana Craftsman Painters, we’ve completed thousands of fence projects since 2004 and use only premium stains and paints proven to perform in the San Francisco Bay‘s climate.

Fence painting and staining typically costs $3 to $8 per linear foot depending on height, condition, coating type (stain vs. paint), and necessary repairs. A 100-foot fence might range from $1,500 to $4,000+. We provide free, itemized consults with transparent pricing and no surprises.

Absolutely. Properly stained or painted fences last 5 to 10+ years compared to 2 to 3 years for untreated wood in the San Francisco Bay‘s climate. Protective coatings prevent rot, warping, and cracking, extending your fence’s lifespan and maintaining curb appeal. It’s far more cost-effective than replacement.

Late spring through early fall (April to October) offers the most consistent weather for fence staining in the San Francisco Bay. We need dry conditions and temperatures above 50°F for proper application and curing. Book 4 to 6 weeks in advance during our busy summer season.

It depends on your goals and the wood’s condition. Transparent and semi-transparent stains showcase natural wood grain and require reapplication every 2 to 4 years.

Solid stains and paints provide more color options and durability (5 to 10 years) but hide wood grain. We’ll assess your fence and recommend the best option during your consult.

Yes. We offer interior and exterior house painting, cabinet painting, wallpaper installation, custom stain matching, and deck staining. Our consultative approach means we assess your entire property and recommend the right solutions for all your painting needs.

Transparent stains last 2 to 4 years, semi-transparent stains last 3 to 5 years, and solid stains or paints last 5 to 10 years in the San Francisco Bay‘s climate.

Longevity depends on sun exposure, moisture levels, product quality, and proper application. We use only premium products and proper techniques to maximize durability.

Yes. While 90% of our work is residential, we handle commercial painting with the same meticulous craftsmanship. We work around your business hours, minimize disruption, and deliver professional results on time and on budget.
