Yes...we can install a fence from scratch.

Our typical work is follows:

• you provide us with an outline for location
• we check if a permit is required
• we schedule for the locates  to flag utilities
• purchase and schedule material for delivery
• install fence
• haul away any debris

It all depends on the city.  Some cities such as Olathe does not require any type of permit.

In othre cities, like Mission, if replacing more than a c ertain percentage of the fence, then a permit is required.

The above is a generaliztion and we do check with each city to be sure we are following regulations.

Exterior wood stains typically come as follows:

• clear
• transparent (you can have a hint of color)
• semi-transparent
• solid color

Stain and sealers help prolong the life of decks by keeping the sun's UV rays from damaging the wood.  Between the UV rays, rain, snow, leaves from trees,  fences will slowly start to weather and turn brown or black if not stained.

Eventually fences dry out enough where they may start to crack and eventually fall apart or end up rotting out.

Clear stains don't add any color to the fences and their primary funtion is to keep water from pentrating the wood.

Transparent stains may actually have a hint of color so you get protection and nice looks.  These allow the grain of wood to show.

Semi-transparents provide more protection than the previous two because the stain itself has some solid particles that provide more protection.

Solid color stains provide for the maximum protection and tend to last longer than ther other types of stains.  

The more solid the stain the less you will have to re-apply over the years.

A brand new pressure treated deck must dry out for about 60 days before it can be stained.  The reason being is that the wood has been treated with preservatives to keep water or any other liquid from penetrating.  If you do stain a brand new pressure treated fence, the stain will likely peel quickly.

A brand new cedar or kiln dried wood fence can be stained or sealed immediately.  These materials have no preservatives or have dried out long enough that staining them won't be an issue.

You can expect to reapply:

clear sealer--every 2 years

transparents--every 2 to 3 years

semi-transparents--every 2 to 4 years

solid colors--every 5 years
