Step 1 — We Clean It: Mold, algae, dirt, and gray weathering come off first. The wood has to be clean for the stain to do its job.
Step 2 — We Stain It: We apply our penetrating mineral oil stain across every board, rail, and post.
Step 3 — It Protects Itself: Over the next few weeks, the oil soaks deep into the wood — restoring color, blocking moisture damage, and protecting your fence for years.

I definitely will be choosing Surface CPR for my next paver sealing project.Posted on Trey TaylorDecember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Surface CPR is outstanding! I had them clean and seal my patio pavers. The last time it looked this good was 20 years ago! My pavers are that old and worn from years of Jacksonville weather. I had cracks in the coping, weeds in the grout lines with missing sand, and nasty algae on most of the pavers. They cleaned it all. First, they moved my furniture to outside the patio. Then they leveled the pavers that had sunk in. They cleaned the patio by pressure washing and using their cleaning mixture to bring out the color of the tiles more. They sealed the pavers and took their time putting it down ensuring every square inch had been covered. Lastly, they re-stained the coping around the pool. They communicated with me at every stage. They showed up when they said they would. They never left a mess behind. They completed it sooner than they estimated. The staff that were here were kind and answered any and all questions I had. They were EXTREMELY professional. The price of the work was more than reasonable for the work completed. I don’t have one complaint for them. I would recommend their services to my own family. These are the type of people that you want at your home doing work. Just look at the before and after!Posted on philip keenlysideDecember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Everything turned out exactly how they said it would. Couldn’t be more happier.
Jacksonville weather doesn’t go easy on wood. The sun bleaches the color out of it. The humidity keeps it damp long after every rain. And that dampness is exactly what mold, mildew, and algae are waiting for — it’s why so many fences here turn green on the shady side first, then gray and splintery everywhere else.
Here’s the part most homeowners don’t know: the typical fix makes it worse. Standard stains form a film on top of the wood. That film traps moisture underneath it, the Florida sun bakes it, and within a couple of years it’s peeling off in strips — and now you’re paying someone to sand and strip before you can even re-stain.
We do it differently. First, we clean the fence properly — the mold, algae, and gray buildup come off before anything goes on. Then we apply a non-drying, mineral oil-based stain that doesn’t sit on top of the wood. It soaks in.
Over the next 2–3 weeks, the oil penetrates deep into the boards, replacing the moisture the sun has pulled out. The wood stays breathable instead of sealed under plastic. Mold and rot don’t get the trapped moisture they need. And because there’s no film on the surface, there’s nothing to peel, crack, or flake — ever.
When it’s time to refresh the fence down the road, we apply right over the last coat. No stripping. No sanding. No starting over.

Will the stain peel like my last one did?
No — and this is the whole reason we use it. Peeling only happens when a stain forms a film on the surface. Ours doesn’t. It absorbs into the wood, so there’s no layer sitting on top to peel, crack, or flake.
Do you clean the fence before staining?
Always. Cleaning is built into every staining job. Stain applied over mold and gray buildup won’t absorb right and won’t last — so we never skip it.
My fence is green and moldy. Can you fix that?
Yes. That green is algae and mildew feeding on trapped moisture — extremely common in Jacksonville, especially on shaded sides. We wash it off completely, then the stain keeps it from coming back by keeping moisture out of the wood.
