Bring the natural beauty of cedar back.
Cedar is prized for its warmth and natural resistance to decay — but it still needs the right attention. We clean, brighten, and restain cedar fences so they look the way you imagined when you installed them.
A beautiful wood that demands a thoughtful hand.
Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects, which is why it’s a favorite for fences. But sun and rain still work on it — turning rich red-brown tones to a flat, splotchy gray. Cedar restoration gently removes that weathering with techniques tuned to the wood, then protects the surface so the color you chose lasts.
Gentle, tuned cleaning
Cedar is softer than many species — we use the right pressure and brightener rather than an aggressive blast.
Cedar-appropriate finishes
The right stain and sealer for your fence’s age, grain, and how much sun it gets.
One- or two-sided service
Whether you want one public-facing side or both, we restore the surfaces that matter to you.
Your cedar fence is telling you something.
Our cedar fence process
A careful, cedar-safe sequence from first wash to final finish.
Assess the fence
We check wood species, age, prior finishes, and how much sun and moisture the fence gets.
Review access
With neighbor boundaries and landscaping in mind, we plan how each side will be reached safely.
Clean and brighten
Gentle washing plus a cedar-safe brightener lifts graying and organic buildup without stripping the wood.
Let it dry correctly
We wait for the right moisture level so the stain can properly penetrate before we apply it.
Stain and protect
Premium finish applied evenly — brushed for an even look and durable protection.
Final walkthrough
We protect nearby landscaping, clean up thoroughly, and share long-term care guidance.
Don’t tear down a sound fence.
A gray, weathered cedar fence with intact, stable boards is almost always worth restoring. Replacement means new lumber, removal, and disposal; restoration returns the fence to its best for a fraction of that cost.
Keep quality cedar
Real cedar is harder to find and pricier every year. Restoring preserves the wood you already own.
Faster than rebuilding
No demolition, trucks, or weeks of downtime — your boundary is back in shape quickly.
No skip of sound boards
If boards are rotten or unstable, we’ll tell you and address only what truly needs replacing.
Rotten, unstable, or structurally unsafe boards may need repair or replacement before restoring. We’ll always be honest about what your fence needs.
