Why Decks in Melrose Park Need More Than Just Paint
Melrose Park houses range from post-war bungalows to ranch-style homes with large back decks. The weather here hits wood with freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity. A coat of paint over old, worn timber fails within a year. Our crews treat every deck the way we do on our deck painting jobs across the county.
Old stain blocks new paint
Oily deck stain repels water-based paint. We sand back to bare wood or use a bonding primer to get adhesion.
Rot hides under the surface
What looks like a solid board can be soft underneath. We probe and replace rotten sections before any paint goes on.
Moss and mould eat paint
Shaded sides of decks grow green mould that lifts paint. Pressure washing with a bleach solution kills it before prep. See our exterior painting prep standards.
Peeling paint traps moisture
Once moisture gets under peeled paint, it works its way across the board. Every loose flake has to come off.
Railings take the most wear
Hands, drinks and weather hit railings hardest. We brush those by hand with extra coats. Details on our trim painting.
Wet wood won't hold paint
We check moisture content with a meter. Paint over wet wood and it bubbles within weeks.

A Melrose Park Deck Crew, Not an Out-of-Town Van
We're based minutes away in Broadview, so when you call about a deck off North Avenue or by the Melrose Park Metra station, you talk to the people who show up. Melrose Park homes have lots of raised decks and screened porches, often 20 years old with multiple layers of paint. We know exactly what those surfaces need.
That same crew covers the suburbs around Melrose Park too, from Northlake and Franklin Park across to Norridge, Stone Park and Berkeley. Same crew, same prep, same price list.

Deck Painting for Melrose Park Houses, Rentals and Commercial Properties
One crew, three types of properties. Whether it's your private deck, a rental unit's outdoor space, or a restaurant patio, the prep and finish are the same.
Homes and townhouses
Bungalows and ranch-style houses across Melrose Park. We do one deck or the whole exterior, including siding and trim. Neighbours in Elmwood Park and River Forest book the same package.
Businesses and restaurants
Patios, beer gardens and storefront decks along North Avenue. We work around business hours and use low-odour finishes. See our commercial exterior painting and office exterior work. Same setup in Cicero and Berwyn.
Landlords and turnovers
Decks and outdoor spaces get painted between tenants. Most are done in two days. Add fence painting before a new lease or a full exterior painting before a sale. Property managers in Chicago and Oak Park use us the same way.
We also run deck work across the rest of Cook County and into the collar suburbs:
How We Paint a Melrose Park Deck, Step by Step
The prep that decides how a deck looks in two years happens before any stain or paint goes on. Here's the order we do it in.
Measure and inspect
We check the square footage, every board, stair tread and railing, then write the price down.
Pressure wash
Full surface clean with a 3000 psi washer and a wood-safe tip. Two days of dry time after.
Sand and scrape
Every flake of old paint or stain removed. Sanding down to the solid wood layer.
Replace bad boards
Rotten or cracked boards get cut out and swapped with matched timber.
Caulk and fill
Gaps between boards filled where needed. Nail heads set and covered.
Prime the bare spots
Exterior primer on all bare wood. Railings and stairs get it too.
Two coats of finish
Rolled on the flat surfaces, brushed by hand on railings and edges.
Walkthrough and touch-ups
You walk the deck with us and we fix anything you point at before we go.
The Deck Problems Melrose Park Property Owners Call Us About
Almost every call starts with one of these. Here's what's actually going on, and what your deck looks like when we're done.
Peeling paint after one season
Moisture under the paint film or no primer on bare wood. We remove all loose paint and seal the bare spots before the first top coat.
Slippery deck in the rain
Glossy paint or algae growth. We add a slip-resistant additive and treat the mould before painting. See our concrete painting for patios.
A deck that looks like new wood again
Even colour, no flakes, railings that feel smooth. The kind of finish you show off at the family barbecue.
No mess, no wet paint signs
We tape off thresholds, cover plants, clean up every day. Your yard is dry and walkable within 24 hours of final coat.
