Every homeowner wants a beautiful, long-lasting fence, but few know the exact price tag until the invoice arrives. CountBricks removes the guesswork by generating real-time AI estimates that calculate fence stain cost down to the last brushstroke. In this guide, our residential construction specialists break down the variables, reveal hidden drivers, and show you how CountBricks keeps Fort Worth projects on time and on budget.
1. Fence material and age
• Cedar absorbs more stain than pressure-treated pine, increasing gallons required.
• Older boards need additional prep and sealer, raising labor and product totals.
2. Surface prep complexity
• Power-washing, sanding, and board replacement can add 30 % or more to overall spend.
• CountBricks AI assessment measures square footage and condition from blueprints or site photos to itemize prep tasks instantly.
3. Stain quality and finish
• Transparent stains cost less per gallon but may need re-application sooner.
• Premium semi-solid or solid-color formulations boost upfront expense yet reduce long-term maintenance cycles.
4. Labor market in Fort Worth
• Local demand, seasonal surges, and crew availability shift hourly rates.
• CountBricks taps live regional databases, adjusting labor allowances in real time.
Per linear foot
• Basic refresh with transparent stain: $1.40 – $2.10
• Mid-grade semi-transparent: $1.80 – $2.60
• Solid-color premium system: $2.75 – $3.50
Total project examples
1. 120-foot cedar privacy fence, light prep, mid-grade stain = $290 – $310 materials, $230 – $270 labor, total roughly $530 – $580.
2. 200-foot aging pine fence, heavy prep, solid stain = $870 – $940 materials, $720 – $780 labor, total roughly $1,590 – $1,720.
• Voice-driven walk-through lets you dictate fence dimensions while on site.
• Automated blueprint takeoffs calculate square footage in seconds for new builds.
• Integrated materials catalog updates stain prices daily, reflecting local supplier promos.
• Dynamic labor tables use Fort Worth wage data, holidays, and weather patterns to forecast crew hours.
• Schedule staining during mild weather to avoid costly rework caused by rapid evaporation.
• Opt for back-brushing over spraying to maximize coverage on rough-sawn lumber.
• Combine staining with other exterior touch-ups—CountBricks bundles tasks to lower mobilization fees.
• Store excess stain properly; CountBricks calculates exact overage so you buy only what you need.

Choosing a stain isn’t only about today’s ticket price—it’s about total cost of ownership. CountBricks tracks the performance of every stain line we specify, mapping durability data against Fort Worth’s UV index and rainfall patterns.
• Transparent oil: Avg. re-coat 2-3 years, lowest upfront cost, highest lifetime spend.
• Semi-transparent acrylic-oil blend: Avg. re-coat 3-5 years, balanced cost and color retention.
• Solid-color latex: Avg. re-coat 5-7 years, higher upfront, lower lifetime spend.
On a 200-foot fence, opting for a solid-color stain may add $260 today but save $1,100 in labor and materials over ten years. CountBricks highlights these savings inside every estimate so homeowners see the full financial picture, not just the day-one price.
