Tall decks and long stair runs get stained top to bottom, with rails, spindles and stringers included. We cover Lemont, including houses that sit on a slope.
We cover Lemont for deck, fence and wood staining: decks, fences, pergolas, wood siding and trim, front doors and stained wood inside. The wood gets cleaned and brightened first, then failed coatings are stripped or sanded, and loose or rotted boards are replaced. Stain goes on last, into clean, dry wood. We explain transparent, semi-transparent and solid stain in plain terms so the choice is yours.
We reach Lemont on I-355 and Route 171, then down Lemont Road and State Street in this Cook County town that rises on hills and bluffs above the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal. If your yard slopes away from the house, the deck may stand well off the ground on one side, with a long stair down to the lawn. That changes the job. We set ladders and staging to reach the outside rim, the rail caps and the stair stringers, and the parts you only see from below get a coat if you want them stained too.
Every rail cap, baluster and post gets stain worked in from all sides, not only the faces you see from the kitchen window.
Treads, risers and the stringers that carry them get cleaned and stained, since stairs take the most foot traffic and water.
The outside band of a raised deck gets reached from ladders or staging so the color matches all the way around.
Dirt, mildew and gray surface wood come off first so the stain soaks in evenly.
Loose, cracked or soft deck boards and treads are replaced and fastened before staining starts.
Peeling or blotchy old stain gets stripped or sanded back to bare wood where it needs it.
We walk the deck, the stairs and the yard below it with you for a free estimate. The written scope lists the surfaces, the repairs, the stain and the coats, including whether the underside is part of it. If rot shows up in a tread or a post after cleaning, we price it in writing and hold off until you approve. The days we said are the days we book, and we finish with a walk around the deck together.
Send a photo of the deck and stairs to (815) 585-1750. We will walk it with you and put every surface in writing.
