Fence Painting Services - Wood, Chain, Link & Vinyl
Fence Painting Near You
A freshly painted or stained fence pulls the whole backyard together. A weathered, greyed, or peeling fence does the opposite. Fence painting is one of the most cost-effective exterior upgrades a homeowner can make — and one of the more satisfying, because the before-and-after is immediate and obvious.
Our fence painting services cover wood fences, chain link fences, vinyl fences, and metal fences. Each material has different product requirements and prep considerations, and we approach them accordingly. Most fence painting projects are completed in a single day.
Fence Painting - Material Specific-Approach
Fence Materials - Wood, Chain, Link, Vinyl, and Metal
The material your fence is made from determines the prep process, the product, and the expected lifespan of the finish.
Wood fences are the most common and can be painted or stained. Wood requires cleaning and possibly brightening before staining, or cleaning and priming before painting. Cedar and pressure-treated pine behave differently and benefit from different approaches.
Chain link fences can be painted with a rust-inhibiting metal paint, typically applied by spray for even coverage across the mesh. Prep involves cleaning and treating any rust before topcoating.
Vinyl fences can be painted with a vinyl-safe paint, though many homeowners opt to clean rather than paint vinyl fencing. We'll advise at the estimate whether painting is the right approach for your specific vinyl.
Metal fences — wrought iron, aluminum — require rust treatment and a metal-specific primer before finishing.
Is It Better to Paint or Stain a Fence - The Honest Comparison
Fence Paint vs. Fence Stain
The paint-or-stain decision for fences follows the same logic as decks. Paint provides full coverage, hides the wood grain, and is better for fences in poor condition. Stain penetrates the wood, preserves the natural character, and is easier to reapply when the time comes.
For most wood privacy fences, stain is the more practical choice — it won't peel the way paint can, and re-staining in a few years is straightforward. For picket fences or decorative fences where you want a crisp, opaque colour, paint is the better call. We'll help you make the right decision for your fence at the estimate.

Fence Painting Cost - What Affects the Price
Fence painting cost depends on the length and height of the fence, the material, the current condition (a weathered fence needing significant prep costs more than a well-maintained one), and whether you're painting, staining, or doing a full refinish. Most customers ask about fence painting cost early in the process — we provide a specific written quote at the estimate so there are no surprises.
A well-painted fence has an immediate effect on how the whole property looks — and most projects are completed in a single day. Our fence painting contractors are available across Canada and the US.

FAQs — Fence Painting
How much does it cost to paint a fence?
Fence painting cost varies based on fence length, height, material, and current condition. A weathered fence needing significant cleaning and prep will cost more than a well-maintained one. We provide a free, no-surprise written quote before any work begins.
Is it better to paint or stain a fence?
For most wood fences, stain is the more practical long-term choice — it won't peel the way paint can and is easier to reapply. Paint is better for fences in poor condition where you want full coverage, or for decorative fences where you want a crisp, opaque colour. We'll recommend the right approach at the estimate based on your specific fence.
Can you paint a chain link fence?
Yes. Chain link fences can be painted with a rust-inhibiting metal paint, typically applied by spray for even coverage. The prep process involves cleaning and treating any rust before applying the topcoat.
How long does painted fence last?
A well-prepped and painted wood fence typically lasts 3–7 years before repainting. Stained wood fences may need reapplication every 2–4 years depending on sun exposure and climate. Metal and chain link fences with proper rust treatment can last longer between coats.
Do you paint vinyl fences?
We can paint vinyl fences using vinyl-safe paint formulations. However, for vinyl fencing in good condition, a thorough cleaning is often more appropriate than painting. We'll assess at the estimate and give you an honest recommendation.
Can I get my fence painted and deck painted at the same time?
Yes — fence painting and deck painting are often completed together as a single exterior scope. Combining them is more efficient and usually results in a better overall price than booking them separately.
