    Ready Seal Stain & Sealer

    The premium choice for protecting your cedar fence. Our professional pre-stain service ensures every fresh cut is sealed before installation, maximizing the life of your investment.

    Why Pre-Stain Your Cedar Fence?

    Pre-staining before installation is the secret to a long-lasting, beautiful fence. Here's why the pros always pre-stain:

    Protects Fresh Cuts

    Fresh saw cuts expose raw wood grain that absorbs moisture rapidly. Pre-staining seals these vulnerable areas before installation.

    Complete Coverage

    Staining after installation means you can't reach behind pickets or where boards overlap. Pre-staining ensures 100% coverage.

    Extends Fence Life

    Properly pre-stained cedar fences last 15-20+ years vs. 10-12 years for untreated or post-stained fences in the PNW climate.
