We build wood fences — privacy, picket, and custom styles — and stain or seal them as part of the same project. One crew, one invoice, and a fence that's protected before it sees its first Colorado winter.
What we build
We install cedar and pressure-treated wood fencing across Northern Colorado. Most residential fence work is standard privacy fence — dog-eared or flat-top, 6 or 8 feet, set in concrete. We also build picket fences, board-on-board, and cap-and-rail styles. For properties with HOA requirements, we work from the spec sheet.
Cedar vs pressure-treated
For fence pickets and boards — the visible vertical surface — cedar is the better choice. It accepts penetrating oil-based stain more deeply and holds colour longer than pressure-treated pine. For posts set in the ground, pressure-treated lumber is the right call. Ground-contact rot resistance is where PT outperforms cedar, and posts are where rot starts.
Most quality fence installations use PT posts with cedar rails and pickets. That's typically what we recommend unless the customer specifies otherwise or HOA guidelines require a different material.
Staining a new fence
New cedar needs to dry before stain will penetrate properly. In Colorado's climate, that's typically 3–5 weeks during summer installations. If we build and stain in one project, we schedule the stain date at the start and check moisture content before applying product. We won't stain new boards above 15% moisture — that's how early peeling happens.
Before you book
We build wood fencing. We don't install vinyl, chain link, or ornamental metal. If the material you want isn't wood, we're not the right crew.
