Fences define the look of a property, but over time even durable vinyl fences and MWF steel
fences can fade, discolor, or lose their original appeal. Replacing them is costly and disruptive.
A professional painting solution from Tom Sawyer Fence Painting restores beauty, protects the
surface, and extends fence life at a fraction of replacement cost.
We use Benjamin Moore Command Vinyl Safe Colors, a high-performance paint designed for
both vinyl and steel fencing to withstand Southern California sun, wind, and moisture while
meeting HOA and community standards.
