Fence Staining in Worcester, answered

Fence staining protects wood fences from moisture, sun and mildew and evens out their color. The fence is washed, dried and stained, usually sprayed and back-brushed for coverage. In Massachusetts, staining about 100 linear feet of fence typically costs $750–$1,270 ($7.50–$12.70 per linear ft, market estimate), depending on height, style and whether both sides are done.
