What Makes Deck Painting Tougher Than It Looks in Des Plaines
A lot of Des Plaines decks were built with pressure-treated lumber that's been exposed to rain, snow and sun for ten or twenty years. The wood cracks, the old stain peels, and moisture gets under the finish. Rolling new paint over that without stripping the loose stuff first is why so many deck jobs peel within a year. Our crews prep these surfaces every week, the same way we do on our exterior painting jobs across the county.
Old stain blocks new paint
Stain penetrates the wood. Paint sits on top. If you don't strip or etch the old sealer, the new coat chips off.
Splinters and raised grain
Weather raises the grain and pushes splinters up. We sand everything flat so the finish isn't rough underfoot.
Rails take a beating
Handrails get touched constantly. We brush those surfaces by hand for extra thickness where the wear happens.
Moisture under the old coat
If the old finish is holding water, sealing over it traps it. We wait for dry weather and check moisture content.
Wood types need different prep
Cedar, pine, composite and pressure-treated all take paint differently. We adjust the primer for what you have.
Hidden rot shows up late
Once paint comes off, soft spots and rot appear. We stop work and show you before we go further.

A Des Plaines Deck Crew, Not a Call Centre
We're based a few minutes away in Broadview, so when you call about a deck off of Oakton Street or a raised deck near the Des Plaines River, you're talking to the people who will be standing in your backyard. We know the housing stock here: the split-levels with raised decks, the ranch homes with ground-level patios, and the older bungalows with porches that need careful stripping before paint can go on.
That same crew covers the neighbouring suburbs too, from Park Ridge and Mount Prospect across to Arlington Heights, Schaumburg and Northlake. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

How We Paint a Des Plaines 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.
Pressure 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 Des Plaines 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.
