Wood structures in Clarendon Hills face constant exposure to sun, rain, snow, and temperature extremes. Without proper staining and sealing, decks and fences can quickly deteriorate, warp, crack, split, and lose their natural beauty. UV rays break down the wood fibers, moisture causes rot and mold growth, and freeze-thaw cycles accelerate structural damage. Our professional staining services protect your investment and keep your outdoor spaces looking their best season after season.
Our Clarendon Hills deck and fence staining services include thorough cleaning and preparation, expert stain selection, and professional application for even, lasting coverage. We begin every project by power washing your deck or fence to remove dirt, mildew, old stain, and any debris that could prevent proper adhesion. For decks with significant wear, we sand the surface to create a smooth, receptive base for the new stain.
We offer a range of stain types to suit your specific needs and preferences. Transparent stains showcase the natural wood grain while providing UV protection. Semi-transparent stains add a hint of color while still allowing the wood texture to show through. Solid stains provide the most protection and color coverage, ideal for older wood that needs extra help. Our team will help you choose the right product and color to complement your home and landscape.
Stain Types & Application
The application process is where our expertise truly shines. We apply stain using professional-grade equipment and techniques that ensure even, consistent coverage on all surfaces including between boards, railings, spindles, and hard-to-reach areas. We apply the right amount of product, not too much and not too little, to achieve optimal penetration and protection without drips or pooling.
Whether you have a small backyard deck, a wraparound porch, a multi-level outdoor living area, or hundreds of feet of privacy fencing, Great Lakes Painting has the experience and expertise to deliver outstanding results in Clarendon Hills. We take pride in our attention to detail and commitment to quality. Our team works efficiently and respects your property throughout the entire process.
Don't wait until your deck or fence shows signs of serious deterioration. Preventive staining is far more cost-effective than replacing damaged wood.

Deck & Fence Staining FAQs for Clarendon Hills Homeowners
How often should I stain my deck in Clarendon Hills?
We recommend re-staining every 2–3 years for Clarendon Hills homes depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and the type of stain used. Transparent stains may need refreshing sooner than solid stains.

We offer transparent stains that show full wood grain, semi-transparent stains that add color while showing texture, and solid stains that provide maximum protection — ideal for older wood.

New pressure-treated wood needs to weather for 3–6 months before staining. We can assess your Clarendon Hills deck and let you know the ideal timing for the best results.

Yes — we inspect for loose boards, popped nails, and minor structural issues and make repairs as needed before any stain is applied to your Clarendon Hills deck or fence.
