Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Montgomery

Pergola and deck staining in Montgomery

Overhead wood gets ignored until it starts to split or turn gray. We stain pergolas, gazebos, arbors and covered porch ceilings along with decks and fences, and the prep is the same: clean, brighten, remove failed finish, replace damaged pieces. Overhead work is done from ladders or staging, with everything underneath covered. We stain top-down so any drip lands on wood that has not been stained yet, not on finished work.

We cover Montgomery on both the Kane County and Kendall County sides, reaching it on Route 30, Route 31 and Orchard Road. If your yard runs toward the Fox River, the wood can hold morning dampness longer, and we plan stain days around that. A pergola over a patio takes sun on the top of every rafter and stays shaded underneath, so the tops often need more prep than the sides. We check rafter ends and post bases, the two places water sits longest, before we price the job.

How we handle a Montgomery staining job

A free estimate on site comes first, written so it lists each structure, the prep and the stain. We start once you approve that scope, and we hold the days we booked unless the wood is wet. If we find a cracked rafter or a soft post that was hidden, we price it in writing and you decide before we fix it. The job ends with a walkthrough under and around everything we stained.

• Pergolas, gazebos and arbors included
• Stained top-down to avoid drips
