You need deck refinishing services for your Chicago property every 2 to 3 years. Most stained and sealed decks need refinishing in such a short period of time due to Chicago’s weather exposure. Composite decks require less frequent refinishing.
We assess your deck’s finish condition during inspections and recommend refinishing when the protective layers have degraded.
Yes, we do structural repairs and damage mitigation of decks year-round. However, stain and sealer application requires temperatures above 50°F for proper curing. So, we schedule finishing work based on favorable weather while addressing urgent structural issues immediately.
The main differences between wood and composite decking come down to upfront cost, ongoing maintenance, and long-term durability.
Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable upfront option and offers a classic, authentic wood look. Composite boards, on the other hand, offer durability, minimal refinishing, and consistent aesthetics at a higher upfront cost.
However, Chicago’s harsh seasonal shifts mean wood requires regular maintenance, including frequent sanding, sealing, and staining, to prevent rotting, warping, and splinters. We help you choose the best option for your budget and maintenance preferences.
The timeline for a complete deck restoration depends on the scope.
If it involves minor repairs and refinishing, it will typically be completed within 3 to 5 days. In cases of structural replacements requiring framing removal, ledger repair, and board replacement, the work may take 1 to 2 weeks. We provide you with a detailed timeline before starting work.
Material warranties vary by product. Enrollment in our Dad Check™ program provides seasonal inspections, early problem identification, and priority scheduling for any maintenance needed.
