About This Service
Fence painting is one of the most impactful ways to refresh your property's curb appeal. A professionally painted fence delivers a clean, uniform look that a stain simply can't match — and it provides a durable barrier against moisture, UV rays, and the salt air that's common throughout San Diego County.
At Tom Sawyer Fence Painting, we use Behr Premium Solid Color Weatherproofing Stain — a professional-grade product specifically formulated for exterior wood surfaces. With 60 colors to choose from, you can match your home's trim, complement your landscaping, or make a bold statement. Behr's solid formula provides full opaque coverage that completely hides wood grain while still allowing the wood to breathe.
Our team is trained in proper surface preparation, which is the most important step in any painting project. We pressure wash, sand, and prime as needed before applying paint — ensuring the finish adheres properly and lasts for years.
We offer both spray application and brush/roller finishing for detail work. Spray application provides the most even, professional finish on flat fence surfaces, while brush work ensures clean edges and complete coverage in tight spots.
Whether you're painting a new fence for the first time or refreshing an older fence that's lost its color, our team will assess the condition of your wood, recommend the right primer and paint system, and deliver a result you'll be proud of.
We work throughout San Diego County including Oceanside, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, Poway, Escondido, and all surrounding communities. All work is performed by our licensed, insured crew — never subcontracted.

We use Stain & Seal Experts oil-based stain for transparent through semi-solid applications, and Behr Premium for solid color requests. Other products available upon request.

Behr Premium Solid Color Weatherproofing Stain typically lasts 5–8 years on wood fences in San Diego's climate, depending on sun exposure, moisture, and the quality of surface preparation.
Solid stain penetrates slightly into the wood while providing full opaque coverage — it's more flexible than paint, which means it's less likely to crack or peel over time. Both hide the wood grain completely, but solid stain tends to hold up better on rough-sawn or textured wood surfaces.
You don't need to be home during the work, but we do ask that someone be available for the initial walkthrough and final inspection.
Yes, but it requires thorough preparation including sanding or stripping the existing stain to ensure the solid stain adheres properly. We'll assess this during the estimate.
