What happens here

If fence posts are a different color (e.g., redwood posts on a cedar fence) and require individual staining or painting, an additional charge of $7 per post is applied. This covers the extra labor involved in hand-brushing or rolling each individual post to achieve the two-tone effect without overspray onto the main fence panels.

Goal: Price two-tone fence projects with differently colored posts.

Tools and materials

  • Paint roller — Hand-rolling individual posts
  • Paintbrush — Hand-brushing individual posts

What they say

Hide

I do occasionally run into where we've got the post Every post is a different color than the rest of the fence So you'll have part of the fence that is like a cedar color And then the posts are occasionally a redwood color And then they're typically like a solid color redwood Now if that's the case And I'm going to spray the entire fence And I don't worry about getting overspray onto those posts Because it's stain and itself priming And then I'm just going to come back with a solid color stain And I'm going to handbrush those individual posts So if I do got to do all the individual posts And a lot of times those posts are like four by six posts Or even if they're four by four posts It is going to be a $7 per post charge To do each individual post
