Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Mokena, IL

Stain color matching in Mokena

Matching stain is a craft of its own. When a new piece of wood has to sit next to old stained trim, like a replaced handrail or a new door in a hall of stained ones, we mix and test the color on scraps until it sits right. We sand between coats and finish with a clear topcoat where the wood needs it. Outdoors, we clean, repair and stain decks, fences and pergolas with the same attention to color.

We cover Mokena, reaching it off I-80, Route 30, Wolf Road and LaGrange Road. If your house has stained trim or a stained staircase and you are replacing part of it, the new wood will not take stain the way the old wood did, because the old wood has darkened with light and age. We account for that by testing on the same species and building the color in layers. If the job is outside, we look at your siding and trim colors with you so the deck or fence stain goes with the house instead of fighting it.

Staining and matching work in Mokena

Test boards for every color

We stain scraps of the same wood until the color matches what you already have.

New rails, old trim

Replaced handrails, treads or trim pieces are stained to sit next to the original wood.

Conditioner where wood blotches

Woods that take stain unevenly, like pine and birch, get a conditioner first so the color goes on even.

Topcoat in your sheen

A clear coat in the sheen you choose goes over interior stain to protect it from hands and cleaning.

Exterior colors coordinated

Deck and fence stain is picked with your siding and trim in view, using samples on site.

Dust and floors handled

Floors are covered and dust is contained when we sand inside the house.

How a Mokena staining job goes

We look at the wood with you, note the color you need to match and write a free estimate on site. You approve the written scope, including the stain and the topcoat, and we schedule the work, with indoor jobs running any time of year. If a new piece needs more color testing than planned, or we find damage under the old finish, we write up the change and wait for your approval. When we finish, we compare the new work to the old with you in good light.

FAQ

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Mokena: questions

Can you stain new wood to match my existing trim?

Yes. We test on scraps of the same species and build the color until it sits next to your trim. Matching aged wood takes a few rounds, and we do those before staining the real piece.

Do I need a permit in Mokena for staining?

Staining and refinishing do not usually need a permit. If a deck repair involves posts, joists or stairs, we check with the Village of Mokena first and pull what is needed.

When can indoor staining happen?

Any time of year. Exterior staining runs spring through fall on dry days, so interior work is a good fit for the colder months.

Which towns near Mokena do you serve?

We also stain decks, fences and trim in New Lenox, Frankfort, Orland Park and Homer Glen.

How do I get a price?
