Deck Staining Services

If you have a deck, fence, patio, or archways around your home, you know that the varying weather elements in our area can take a toll on your wooden surfaces. If you don’t take proper care of them by re-sealing and re-staining at the right times, they can become a costly home maintenance expenditure that can significantly decrease the value of your home. The longer you wait to hire a painting contractor, the more expensive this undertaking will become.

The CertaPro Painters^® of Glen Ellyn, IL residential painting crews have years of experience sealing and staining decks to protect them from all types of weather conditions. Depending on your project, our professional surface prep and deck staining process may include:

• Scraping: To prepare for your deck staining services, we will remove dirt, gravel, and chipped paint from your deck’s surface.
• Power Washing: We can thoroughly power wash your deck to ensure the surface is ready for stain or paint.
• Sanding: If there are raised or loose areas, we will sand them to create a smooth surface.
• Painting or Staining: Finally, we will apply a premium paint or stain to your deck’s surface to revive its appearance and protect it from the elements.

How Often You Should Stain Your Deck

The deck staining process takes about two to four hours on average. However, the stain can take up to 4 hours per 100 square feet to dry, so we highly recommend avoiding using the deck for a full day after you apply the stain.

Once your deck is stained, it’s typically protected for approximately 3 to 4 years. This time-frame depends on various factors such as the elements (direct sunlight, rain, and extreme seasonal weather conditions), foot traffic, the quality of the paint, and more. After four years, you should consider removing the old stain and reapplying a new one to strengthen and revitalize the wood.
