How to measure

Not sure how to measure? We'll walk you through it.

You don't need to be an expert — a regular tape measure, your phone, and five minutes in the yard is all it takes. Follow the simple guides below, then use the totalizer to add everything up.

Need pro help with measurements?

Don't worry — just let us know and we'll help set up your free visit. We'll measure everything on-site and build your firm quote together.

1Linear feet

Fences — measure in feet

Walk along the outside of the fence. Measure each straight section from post to post (or corner to corner). Add them up. Don't worry about gates — we count them.

  • Use a 25-ft tape or a rolling wheel
  • Round up to the nearest foot
  • Only count sides we'll be staining
2Square feet

Decks & pergolas — length × width

Measure the longest side (length) and the shorter side (width). Multiply them together. Odd-shaped deck? Split it into rectangles and add the totals.

  • Measure the floor, not the railing
  • Include stairs as a separate rectangle
  • For pergolas we measure the top footprint
3Per item

Garage doors & extras — count them

For wood garage doors, exterior doors, arbors and gates — just tell us how many. Snap a photo if the shape is unusual and we'll handle the sizing.

  • Single or double — count each door
  • Note the approx. width if oversized
  • Photos help us quote accurately
Measurement totalizer

Add each section side-by-side. We'll total it for you.

Our process

Protect & enhance your fence
across San Antonio and Bexar County.

Your fence is an essential part of your property — privacy, security, curb appeal. Over time, sun, rain, and mildew cause fading, cracking, and deterioration. We recommend staining every 3–5 years to keep it beautiful and extend its life. Our professional crew, premium products, and experienced wood stainers deliver a finish built to last.

  • Plants protected

High-quality stain is applied with a professional-grade sprayer for full saturation, deep penetration, and lasting color. Any contracted repairs are completed before we spray.
