Get every spindle, rail and stair tread on your Hanover Park deck coated, not just the flat boards. Railings take the most handwork, and the estimate shows it.
The deck floor gets the attention, but railings and stairs are where most of the hours go. Every baluster has four sides, every rail has a top, a bottom and edges, and stair stringers hide behind the treads. We clean, repair and stain all of it, with failed coatings stripped or sanded and loose pieces fixed first. Fences, pergolas, siding, trim and front doors get the same treatment when they are on the list.
Hanover Park is on our regular route, and we come in on Irving Park Road, Barrington Road and Lake Street. If your deck sits a few steps off the ground, the stairs and landing take the most foot traffic and wear down first. We brush the balusters by hand so stain gets into the corners a roller or sprayer misses, and we check every rail for wobble before we coat it. A loose rail gets tightened or refastened, because fresh color on a loose rail is still a loose rail.

Each spindle gets brushed on all four faces so there are no bare edges showing from the yard.
The rail your hand runs along gets cleaned, sanded smooth where it is rough and stained to stand up to use.
Treads, risers and the stringers underneath get cleaned and stained, since stairs wear first.
Wobbly posts and rails get refastened before stain, and we tell you if one needs more than that.
The deck boards get cleaned, brightened, repaired and stained with the railings so the color matches.
If the fence or pergola needs it too, each one goes on the estimate with its own prep and coats.
We go over the deck with you, stairs and railings included, and write an estimate that lists cleaning, repairs, stain and coats for each part. If a post turns out to be rotted at the base, we show you, put the repair price in writing and wait for your go-ahead. Stain goes on after the wood has dried from cleaning, on days we set around the forecast and the schedule we gave you. At the end we walk the deck, stairs and rails with you.
