Deck floors wear faster than railings, so we tell you which parts need full prep now and which only need a fresh coat. Our crew covers Burr Ridge for decks, fences and wood.
Our crew is in Burr Ridge regularly for deck and fence staining, plus pergolas, wood siding and trim, front doors and interior woodwork. The work runs in order: clean and brighten the wood, strip or sand what has failed, replace boards that are loose or rotted, then stain. We spell out the difference between transparent, semi-transparent and solid stain so the choice is an informed one. The stain goes into dry wood only.
Burr Ridge sits in DuPage and Cook counties, and we reach it on I-55 and work along County Line Road and Route 83. If your deck faces the sun most of the day, the floor boards take the beating. Rain sits on them, feet scuff them and the sun hits them flat on, while the railings shed water and wear more slowly. We look at each part on its own, and if the rails are still sound, we may recommend full prep on the floor and a lighter clean and recoat on the rails.

We look at the deck floor, the railings and the stairs one at a time and tell you what each one needs.
The deck floor gets cleaned, brightened and stripped or sanded where the stain has worn through.
Railings and fence boards still in good shape get cleaned and a maintenance coat instead of a full strip.
Soft, split or loose boards are replaced before staining so the new coat goes on sound wood.
Fence runs, gates and pergola framing get the same cleaning and stain, with plants and lawn edges covered.
We tell you what to watch for and when the floor will likely need its next coat, so you can plan for it.
You get a free estimate on site, with the floor, rails, stairs and any fence or pergola looked at separately. The written scope lists the prep and coats for each, so you can see where the effort goes. If we find damage after cleaning, it gets a written price and waits until you approve it. We book around the days we said and walk the finished work with you.
Call or text (815) 585-1750 to set a time. We will look at each part of the deck and write up what it needs, and what it does not.
