Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Romeoville, IL

Deck staining in Romeoville, top to bottom

A deck does not wear evenly. The floor and stair treads take foot traffic, standing water and snow, while the rails mostly see sun, so we prep each part for what it has been through. We clean and brighten everything, sand the walking surface where the old finish has worn through, and replace boards that have cracked, cupped or gone soft. Then we stain the floor, stairs and rails with the coats each one needs.

Romeoville is on our regular route, and we reach it on I-55, Route 53, Weber Road and 135th Street. If your deck faces south or west, it takes the strongest afternoon sun, and that is where stain fades and boards check first. Stairs that step down to a lawn hold moisture at the bottom tread, so we look there for soft wood before we put a price on anything. Will County winters leave snow and ice sitting on every flat board, which is why a deck floor usually needs recoating before its rails do.

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining by ONIT Solutions

Staining work on a Romeoville deck

Walking surface sanded

Worn traffic paths on the deck floor are sanded so the new stain goes on evenly instead of patchy.

Stair treads and stringers

Treads, risers and stringers are cleaned and stained, and loose treads are fastened down before we start.

Bottom step checked for rot

The lowest tread and the stringer ends near the ground are probed for soft wood and replaced if needed.

Rails and post caps

Top rails, balusters and post caps are brushed so the end grain takes stain, since that is where water gets in.

Popped fasteners reset

Raised nails and screws are driven back or replaced so they do not snag shoes or bare feet.

Coats matched to the surface

Flat boards get the coats foot traffic demands, and vertical parts get what they need.

What happens on a Romeoville staining job

The estimate is free and written on site, with the deck floor, stairs, rails and any fence listed separately so you can see what each part includes. When you approve the scope, we set the dates and keep to them unless the wood is too wet to stain. Anything found mid-job, like a soft stringer, gets a written price that you approve before we do the work. On the last day we walk the deck together and fix any spot you point out.

FAQ

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Romeoville: questions

Why does my deck floor fade faster than the railings?

The floor takes foot traffic, standing water and snow, and the sun hits it flat. Railings shed water and mostly see sun from the side. That is why we prep and coat the floor for the wear it gets.

Can you fix loose stair treads before staining?

Yes. We fasten loose treads, replace cracked or soft ones and check the stringers, then stain the stairs with the rest of the deck. Repairs show up on the estimate before we start.

Does Romeoville require a permit for deck staining?

Cleaning and staining do not usually need one. Rebuilding stairs or replacing structural framing can, and in that case we check with the Village of Romeoville and pull what is required.

Do you work in towns next to Romeoville?

Yes. We also stain decks and fences in Lockport, Lemont, Crest Hill and Bolingbrook.

When should I book?

Exterior staining runs spring through fall on dry days, and booking the estimate early gives you more choice of dates. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will set it up.
