Deck Staining
Haugland Brothers provides professional deck staining services to families throughout Countryside, IL, and the surrounding suburbs.
Deck staining is an essential aspect of maintaining your outdoor living space. Over time, weather conditions can deteriorate the wood, causing it to lose its natural color and strength. Professional deck staining services offer a way to bring back the original luster of your deck and provide it with added protection from the elements.
The Importance of Professional Deck Staining
- Aesthetic Appeal: A freshly stained deck looks vibrant, new, and welcoming, adding aesthetic value to your home.
- Longevity: Quality staining products protect the wood from UV rays, moisture, and insects, increasing the lifespan of your deck.
- Safety: Weathered decks can become splintery and slippery. A good staining job can resolve these issues, making your deck safer.
- Property Value: A well-maintained deck can significantly boost the resale value of your property.
Our Professional Process
Before any work begins, one of our experts will inspect your deck to assess its current state and advise on the best action. At Haugland Brothers, our professional deck staining services generally include:
- Cleaning & Surface Preparation
- Pressure Washing: This removes dirt, mildew, and old stain, preparing the wood for new stain.
- Sanding: Professionals may sand the surface to remove any loose wood fibers and provide a smooth base for the stain.
- Staining
- Type of Stain: There are various stains, including transparent, semi-transparent, and solid. The choice often depends on the age and condition of the wood.
- Application: The stain is meticulously applied, ensuring an even coat and proper penetration into the wood for long-lasting results.
- Sealing
- A protective sealant locks in the stain and protects against the elements.
- Inspection & Quality Assurance
- After applying the stain and sealant, a final inspection is conducted to ensure the job meets quality standards.
