Protect & Restore
Expert Fence Staining in Daly City — Full Clean, Prep & Protect for 3–5 Years
Professional wood fence cleaning, prep, and staining in Daly City, CA. We restore faded, weathered boards, seal the wood against persistent coastal fog and moisture, and protect your fence for years — not months.
Our Work
Daly City's famously persistent fog and damp marine climate are among the most challenging wood-staining environments on the Peninsula — constant moisture promotes rot and mildew on unprotected fences, and wood that looks fine in spring can develop visible surface mold by fall if it isn't properly sealed. Westlake and St. Francis Heights neighborhoods deal with fog that can persist all day during summer months, keeping fence boards damp for extended periods. Serramonte and Crocker's more developed areas have less fog penetration than the coastal hillsides but still experience significantly more moisture than inland cities. A quality stain with strong mildewcide protection is the most important specification for any Daly City fence — UV resistance matters less here than moisture blocking, though a product formulated for both extends the maintenance interval the furthest. Professional prep removes existing mold and surface contamination before the new finish is applied.


We send before-and-after photos after every fence staining job — so you can see exactly what was done and share with your HOA or property manager if needed.
Daly City Conditions
Daly City is one of the foggiest spots on the whole peninsula, and that changes what a wood fence is up against. There's very little of the harsh UV that greys inland fences — instead it's near-constant damp. The marine layer keeps boards wet for much of the day, and that moisture feeds mildew, green algae, and the black mold that creeps across shaded, north-facing runs.
Here the job is sealing out water, not blocking sun. We wash off the mildew and grey, let the wood dry on a rare clear stretch, and apply a penetrating stain that sheds water so it can't soak into the grain. In Daly City's fog, a sealed fence stays sound for years while a bare one slowly rots from the damp.
How it works
Text your address to (408) 476-3891 — we respond within 30 minutes. Most fence staining projects require a quick on-site look before we can give you a firm price.
We clean the fence first — removing dirt, mold, and old oxidized wood fibers. Proper prep is what separates a stain that lasts from one that peels in a year.
We apply a penetrating oil-based stain that soaks into the wood rather than sitting on top. Even coverage, no drips, no lap marks.
We send before-and-after photos directly to you when the job is complete — useful for HOA records or before listing your home.

What Daly City customers say
"Matt pressure washed and stained my outdoor stairs — an intricate project with lots of hand-brushing of oil-based stain. It turned out beautiful, with great communication and cleanup."THTeresa H.Verified Google Review
"Matt did a great job and was good at communicating and giving an ETA. His pricing is competitive. We will have him back again to do our windows."SOSheri O.Verified Google Review
"We could not be happier with the work ORS did on our fence. Matthew took extra time to get a good color match on the old fence and prepped the surface on a separate trip. Outstanding workmanship."JWJen W.Verified Google Review
Fence staining pricing depends on too many variables to publish a flat rate — fence length, height, number of sides, wood condition, and whether prep work is needed all affect the final cost. Rather than give you a number that might not apply to your fence, we’ll schedule a free on-site assessment and give you a firm price — we respond to every inquiry within 30 minutes and can usually be out within 48–72 hours.
Always included: pressure wash prep, stain application, and before-and-after photos.

Common questions
Daly City's persistent coastal fog creates some of the most challenging wood fence conditions on the Peninsula. Westlake and St. Francis Heights deal with fog that can persist all day during summer, keeping fence boards damp for extended periods and promoting rapid mildew growth. Even Serramonte and Crocker, farther from the coast, experience significantly more moisture than inland cities. UV protection is secondary here — mold resistance is the most critical quality in any Daly City fence stain. Professional cleaning, mold removal, and mildewcide-containing penetrating stain protects Daly City fences for 3–5 years.
Pricing depends on fence length, height, number of sides, and current wood condition. Most residential fences in Daly City run several hundred dollars. Text (408) 476-3891 with your address — we respond within 30 minutes and can typically schedule a free on-site estimate within 48–72 hours.
A properly prepped and stained fence in Daly City typically lasts 3–5 years before needing a refresh coat. The persistent coastal fog means the protection interval can be on the shorter end compared to sunnier cities — consistent professional maintenance keeps the mold from re-establishing between applications, which is the most important outcome in Daly City's moisture-heavy environment.
Always. We pressure wash and prep the surface first — removing dirt, mildew, and oxidized wood fibers. Staining over a dirty fence is the most common DIY mistake. Proper prep is what makes the stain bond correctly and last.
We use penetrating oil-based exterior stains that soak into the wood grain rather than forming a film on the surface. This gives better UV protection, weather resistance, and longevity — and won't peel or chip the way surface coatings can.
It often does. The relentless damp works on bare wood year-round, so fences here can need attention a bit sooner than sunny inland ones — many do best on a 3–4 year cycle. The upside is UV barely factors in, so a good water-shedding seal goes a long way.
Yes — that green and black growth lives on damp, bare wood. We kill and wash it off, then seal the boards so water sheds instead of soaking in, which starves it out. On a foggy Daly City lot that seal is the single best thing for making a fence last.
