Deck Repair & Deck Staining in Arlington Heights

When a deck in Arlington Heights, IL starts to look faded, rough, or shows signs of damage, professional deck repair and deck staining can restore both its appearance and durability. At A Plus Decorating Inc., we focus on full deck restoration rather than quick fixes, combining careful carpentry repairs with intensive sanding and high-quality penetrating stains to protect the wood and bring out its natural beauty.

We begin every project with a thorough deck inspection. During this step our team identifies loose or damaged deck boards, cracked or split wood, loose railings or posts, and any minor structural issues. Finding and addressing these problems up front is essential before any staining begins, because proper repairs make the finish last longer and keep the deck safe to use.

When repairs are needed, our carpentry work includes replacing damaged deck boards, reinforcing railings, tightening fasteners, repairing stair treads, and swapping out minor deteriorated components. These carpentry repairs prepare the deck so it is structurally sound and ready for the next stages of restoration.

After repairs, we thoroughly clean and pressure wash the deck to remove dirt, old stain residue, mold, and mildew. The deck is then allowed to dry for several days, which is important so sanding and staining will adhere properly and perform as expected.

One of the key differences in our process is intensive, professional sanding. Power sanding removes weathered wood fibers, remaining stain, and surface imperfections. Sanding opens the wood grain so a penetrating stain can soak in deeper, creating a smoother, more durable finish compared to stain applied over a weathered surface.

Once sanding and preparation are complete, we apply a high-quality penetrating wood stain formulated to protect against UV sun damage, moisture penetration, and general weather exposure. Penetrating stains enhance the wood's natural look while providing long-term protection against premature deterioration.

Many local decks are built from cedar or pressure-treated lumber, and these materials need regular maintenance to prevent cracking, warping, and rot. Our cedar deck repair and staining services are designed to restore the wood's appearance and protect it from future damage, helping homeowners maintain a welcoming outdoor space.
