Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Western Springs, IL

Wood siding, deck and fence staining in Western Springs

Our crew covers Western Springs for wood siding and trim, decks, fences, pergolas, front doors and interior woodwork. We clean and brighten the wood, strip or sand coatings that have failed, and replace any loose or rotted board before staining. You choose transparent, semi-transparent or solid, and we explain what each gives you in grain and protection. The stain goes on only when the wood is dry.

We reach Western Springs on I-294 and Ogden Avenue, and work along Wolf Road and 55th Street to the blocks around the Metra station in this Cook County village. If your house has wood siding or cedar shingles that were stained rather than painted, restaining is a different job from painting. Stain soaks in, so there is no thick film to scrape, but every board has to be clean and dry first and any board that has split or rotted has to be replaced. We work the walls from the right ladders, cover the plantings below and keep the color even from course to course.

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining by ONIT Solutions

What we stain on a Western Springs house

Siding washed and brightened

Each wall is cleaned of dirt and mildew and brightened, then left to dry before stain.

Split boards and shingles replaced

Siding boards or shingles that have split, cupped or softened are replaced with new wood before staining.

Trim, soffit and fascia

Wood trim around windows and doors, plus soffit and fascia, gets the same prep and stain.

Even color course to course

We stain each wall in full runs so there are no lap lines between sections.

Ladders for two-story walls

Upper walls and gables are reached with the right ladders and standoffs, so nothing leans on the gutters.

Plantings and walks covered

Beds, shrubs and walkways under the walls get covered before washing and staining.

How a Western Springs siding or deck job runs

We walk around the house with you for a free estimate and look closely at every wall. The scope comes in writing with the prep, the boards to replace, the stain type and color, and the coats. If we find rot behind a board once it is off, we price it in writing and wait for your approval. We book around the days we said and walk the outside with you when we finish.

FAQ

Deck, Fence & Wood Staining in Western Springs: questions

Do you stain houses near Western Springs?

Yes. We do staining in La Grange, Hinsdale, Burr Ridge and La Grange Park too.

Should I stain or paint my wood siding?

If it is stained now, staining again is usually the better fit, because paint over stain needs more prep to bond. Solid stain gives a paint-like color while still soaking into the wood. We look at the siding and tell you what makes sense.

Do I need a permit in Western Springs?

Staining does not usually need one. Replacing a large section of siding or rebuilding a deck can, so we check with the village and pull the permit where required.

How long does siding staining take?

It depends on the size of the house and the weather, since we wash, wait for the wood to dry and stain only on dry days. Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will give you the days with the estimate.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry liability insurance, and you can have the certificate before we start.
