Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Burr Ridge

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.

Deck, fence and wood staining in Burr Ridge

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.

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining by ONIT Solutions

What staining covers in Burr Ridge

Floor and rails judged separately

We look at the deck floor, the railings and the stairs one at a time and tell you what each one needs.

Deep prep on the walking surface

The deck floor gets cleaned, brightened and stripped or sanded where the stain has worn through.

Lighter recoat where it holds

Railings and fence boards still in good shape get cleaned and a maintenance coat instead of a full strip.

Board replacement

Soft, split or loose boards are replaced before staining so the new coat goes on sound wood.

Fences and pergolas

Fence runs, gates and pergola framing get the same cleaning and stain, with plants and lawn edges covered.

Care notes when we finish

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.

FAQ

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Burr Ridge: questions

Do you stain decks near Burr Ridge?
Yes. We do staining in Willowbrook, Hinsdale, Western Springs and Darien as well.
Why does my deck floor fade before the railings?
The floor faces the sky, holds water and takes foot traffic, so stain wears off it first. Rails are vertical and shed water, so they tend to hold their color longer.
Does Burr Ridge require a permit to stain a deck?
Not for cleaning and staining. If the job turns into rebuilding stairs, railings or framing, we check with the village and pull the permit where it is required.
How often should a deck be restained?
It depends on the stain type, the sun and the foot traffic. Floors in full sun need it sooner than shaded rails. We tell you what we see when we finish, and you can call or text (815) 585-1750 when it starts to wear.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry liability insurance and will send the certificate before work begins.
