custom made stain, mike downs fencing
Custom Fence Staining in Leonard, TX

​A quality stain does more than improve the appearance of your fence—it protects the investment you've made. At Mike Downs Fencing, we use a custom-made, professional-grade stain that outperforms typical box store products. Our stain penetrates deeper, provides longer-lasting UV and moisture protection, and can last up to three times longer than many retail brands when properly maintained. To maximize durability, we apply more stain than the manufacturer's minimum recommendation, allowing the wood to absorb additional protection for a richer finish and longer service life. This extra coverage helps guard against fading, cracking, warping, splitting, mildew, and water damage while preserving the natural beauty of genuine Western Red Cedar.

Every staining project is completed by Mike with the same commitment to quality and attention to detail that goes into every fence we build—no shortcuts, just long-lasting protection designed specifically for the demanding North Texas climate.

​​1. What type of fence is best for my property?   
The best fence depends on your goals. Board-on-board cedar offers maximum privacy, side-by-side provides a traditional look at a lower cost, horizontal fences create a modern appearance, wrought iron adds security and curb appeal, and chain-link is a durable, economical option for pets and larger areas.
2. Should I choose wood posts or steel posts? Steel posts are the best long-term investment. Unlike wood posts, they won't rot, warp, or become weakened by moisture and insects. Steel posts also help keep gates aligned and provide greater strength against North Texas winds and expansive clay soils.
3. How long will a quality fence last? A professionally installed fence built with genuine Western Red Cedar, steel posts, quality hardware, and proper installation techniques can provide decades of dependable service. Regular maintenance and professional staining will help maximize its lifespan and keep it looking its best.
4. Do I need a permit or have to follow HOA rules? Many cities and homeowners associations have fencing requirements regarding height, materials, placement, and gate locations. Before construction begins, it's important to verify local regulations and HOA guidelines to ensure your new fence complies with all applicable requirements.
5. Why should I choose Mike Downs Fencing? Since 2002, Mike Downs has personally built every fence he installs. There are no subcontractors, no rotating crews, and no shortcuts. Every project is custom built using quality materials, proven installation methods, and the craftsmanship that has earned the trust of homeowners throughout Sherman, North Texas, and the Texoma area.
