What Makes Deck Painting Challenging in Arlington Heights
Arlington Heights has many homes with large two-story decks, and the local climate takes a toll. The wood gets pounded by snow, rain and summer heat. Rolling fresh paint over weathered wood without proper prep is why so many DIY jobs fail within a year. Our crews handle these surfaces every week, the same way we do on our exterior painting jobs across the county.
Weather damage is everywhere
Years of Chicago winters break down the wood surface. We sand deep enough to reach sound material before we prime.
Old stain prevents adhesion
Penetrating stain seals the wood and blocks new paint. We use the right prep to open the wood back up.
Two-story decks are common
Taller decks need more prep and careful painting. We price by square footage so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Moisture causes peeling
If moisture is already under the old finish, painting over it traps it. We check wood moisture before we paint.
Composite needs specific paint
Composite decks need special primers. We use products that bond to PVC and wood-plastic composites.
Hidden rot shows up late
We stop work and show you any soft spots before we go further, so you can decide on repairs.

How We Paint an Arlington Heights Deck, Step by Step
Most of the work that decides how a deck paint job looks in two years happens before any colour goes on the wood. Here's the order we do it in, every single time.
Inspect and measure
We check the wood type, the current coating, and how much prep the surface needs before we write a price.
Pick the colour
We'll match your house or bring a fan deck to the job so you see options in daylight.
Clear the deck
Furniture, planters and grills moved off. Hose bib and outlet covers taped.
Power wash
Entire deck sprayed with a cleaning solution, then rinsed to remove dirt and mildew.
Sand and repair
Splinters sanded, cracks filled with exterior-grade filler, loose boards fastened.
Prime bare wood
All exposed raw wood primed so the finish locks in evenly.
Roll and brush two coats
Deck floors rolled and rails brushed. Second coat the next day after full dry.
Reassemble and inspect
Furniture back, yard cleaned, then we walk the deck with you and fix anything you notice.
The Deck Painting Problems Arlington Heights Homeowners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your deck looks like once we're done.
Peeling paint on deck floors
Old paint loses adhesion when moisture gets under it. We strip the loose stuff and prime properly so the new coat bonds. Same issue on porches.
Rough splintery handrails
Rails take more handling than floors. We sand them smoother and brush on an extra coat where hands go.
A deck you can walk on barefoot
Smooth finish, no splinters, paint that's bonded to the wood so it holds up through the winter freeze.
Your yard back in two or three days
Furniture returned, yard cleaned, no tape or tarps left behind.
