Maria speaks fence staining

She can tell a wood brightening from a percarb wash, knows what downstreaming and SH (sodium hypochlorite) mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off two-coat wet-on-wet or gray-out / UV graying. So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re down the fence line with a sprayer, she’s booking jobs.
