My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Wood stain/finish

10 years ago
Hi, beautiful fence design! I am wondering if you used a transparent stain on it or is it the natural cedar color? Thanks!

    We used a clear sealer on this cedar. We specify Sikkens usually, and I believe that's what the contractor used.

    Hi, the fence ended up being gorgeous. We worked during this project, the fence and all the wood work was clear stained.

    Absolutely gorgeous! What brand of clear stain did you use? Did it lighten the tones of the cedar?
