Plainfield Decks and Fences Face Harsh Weather
Plainfield sees humid summers, freezing winters and everything in between. Wood takes a beating year-round.
Freeze-thaw damage
Water gets into wood cracks and freezes in winter. It expands and splits the wood. Good stain with sealant keeps water out before it freezes.
Mildew and moss growth
Shaded decks and north-facing fences stay damp. Mildew grows fast. We use mildew-resistant stain that stays clean longer.
UV fade on south sides
Sun fades stain on south-facing decks and fences. We use UV-resistant stain with darker pigments that hold their color longer.
We work Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet and the whole Will County area. If you're in the 60544 zip code or nearby, we can get to you quickly.
How We Stain Decks and Fences in Plainfield
Eight steps, same order every time, whether it's a small fence or a large deck.
Power wash
Dirt, mildew and old finish blasted off. Wood needs to be clean and open to absorb stain.
Sand rough spots
Splinters, raised grain and rough edges sanded smooth. No one wants a splinter from their deck.
Replace damaged boards
Rotted or broken boards replaced. Wood needs to be solid before stain goes on.
Prime bare spots
New boards and bare spots primed. Primer helps stain absorb evenly across all surfaces.
Protect plants
Plants, grass and landscape covered. No drips on your flowers.
First coat
Stain sprayed and back-brushed. Brushing works it into the wood pores.
Second coat
Full second coat after the first dries. This is where depth and protection come from.
Cleanup and check
Tarps removed, surfaces inspected, then we walk it with you.

What People Complain About, and What You End Up With
Almost every call opens with one of these. Here's the cause on the left, and here's what the deck or fence looks like when we pack up.
The problem
Cheap stain applied over dirty wood. It never bonded and peeled off the first winter.
No stain or worn-out finish left wood exposed. Sun and rain turned it gray and rough.
Stain applied without primer or back-brushing. It absorbed unevenly and looks patchy.
What you get
Proper prep, priming and two coats of premium stain. It holds through winter and keeps its color.
Power washed and sanded wood that absorbs stain evenly. No blotches, no gray spots.
Sprayed and back-brushed for even absorption. Every board looks the same.
