Your Deck Deserves More Than a Fresh Coat of Paint
Illinois weather is brutal on outdoor wood. Freeze-thaw cycles, summer UV, rain, and humidity cause decks to crack, gray, rot, and splinter — often faster than homeowners expect. A proper restoration isn't just cosmetic. It's the difference between a deck that lasts another decade and one that needs full replacement.
At Elgin Property Services, we follow a complete restoration process: power wash, inspect, repair, sand, stain, and seal. We use premium Sherwin-Williams stains and sealers and work on all deck types — traditional wood, IPE hardwood, composite, fences, and pergolas. The result is a deck that looks incredible and is protected for years to come.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying
Our deck hadn't been touched in 6 years — gray, splintery, and embarrassing. Elgin Property Services washed it, replaced two boards, and stained it a beautiful cedar tone. It looks brand new. Couldn't be happier
Had my IPE deck restored — it had gone completely gray. They brought the natural color back completely.
They did the deck, fence, and pergola all in one project. Great communication throughout, stain color matched exactly what I wanted, and the structural repairs were solid. My whole backyard looks transformed
Deck Restoration FAQs
How much does deck restoration cost in Elgin, IL?
A wash-and-stain for a standard 300–400 sq ft deck typically starts around $1600 depending on condition and wood type. Full restoration with repairs will vary based on what needs to be fixed. We always give you a clear, itemized price before starting — no surprises.
How often should I stain and seal my deck?
Most decks in Illinois benefit from re-staining every 2–3 years. Exposed south-facing decks, or those with heavy foot traffic, may need attention sooner. IPE and composite surfaces have different timelines — we'll let you know what's right for your specific deck during the inspection.
What stain brands do you use?
We use Sherwin-Williams premium deck stains and sealers. These are professional-grade products with significantly better durability, color retention, and UV protection compared to hardware store alternatives. We carry a wide range of colors and finishes — semi-transparent, solid, and natural tones.
Can you repair my deck and stain in the same visit?
Yes, in most cases. Minor repairs — replacing boards, securing railings, fixing fasteners — can typically be done the same day as the wash and stain. Larger structural repairs may be scheduled as a separate visit depending on scope, but we'll always be upfront about the timeline.
Do you work on composite decks?
Yes. Composite decking requires different care than wood — we never use harsh chemicals or high pressure that could damage the surface. We deep clean composite boards safely and can replace damaged boards or railings with matching or upgraded materials.
How long does the stain need to dry before we can use the deck?
Most Sherwin-Williams deck stains are dry to the touch within 4 hours and ready for foot traffic in 24–48 hours. Full cure takes about 72 hours. We'll give you exact guidance based on the specific product and weather conditions on your job day.
