Deck Staining and Deck Power Washing in Northbrook and Glenview
Chicago weather is hard on wood decks and fences. At Sunpainting, we offer deck staining in Northbrook and Glenview, deck power washing in Northbrook, and fence staining in Glenview, helping homeowners across the North Shore protect and refresh their outdoor wood.
Our power washing also includes the removal of mold, so the wood is clean before anything goes on.
A good deck or fence finish depends on what happens before the stain goes on: protecting your home, cleaning the wood and preparing the surface properly. That is why we handle power washing, prep and staining together with one crew, so you do not need to coordinate multiple contractors. Sunpainting is rated 5.0 on Google from 180 reviews, and every project starts with a free on-site estimate.
Deck Power Washing, Deck Staining and Fence Staining
What we do to protect and refresh your outdoor wood.
Deck power washing
We power wash decks to clean off dirt and grime before any stain or coating goes on. Our power washing services also include the removal of mold.
Prep, sanding and repairs
Prep varies with the deck. It may include sanding, scraping off loose finish, re-nailing loose boards and repairing minor wood damage. If boards need replacing, we can help with that too.
Deck staining and coating
We coat wooden decks to protect them from the elements. Whether a stain or another coating is the best fit depends on the deck and the look you want; every job is different.
Fence staining
We coat wooden fences to protect them from the elements, including fence staining in Glenview, Northbrook and across the North Shore.

Our Process: Careful Prep, Clean Finish
A good finish starts before the stain goes on. Here is how a typical deck or fence project goes.
Mask and protect, then get to work
We cover surfaces around the work area with plastic and drop cloths before any washing, prep or coating begins.
Power wash and prepare the wood
We power wash off dirt, grime and mold, then prepare the surface. Prep varies with the deck, and every job is different.
Stain or coat for lasting protection
Once the wood is clean and prepared, we apply the stain or coating, clean up as we go and walk the finished job with you.

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.
Do you power wash decks?
Yes. We provide power washing services for decks, and they include the removal of mold. We can stain or coat the deck as part of the same project.
Do you stain or paint decks?
We coat wooden decks to protect them from the elements. Whether a stain or another coating is the best fit depends on your deck and the look you want, and we will go over the options with you at your free estimate.
Who will be working at my home?
Our own Sunpainting crew. Every member of our team wears a matching yellow uniform shirt, so you’ll always know who’s at your home. We work hard to finish your project as quickly as possible without cutting corners, and we keep you informed from start to finish.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the size of the deck or fence, the condition of the wood and the prep it needs. We offer free on-site estimates with firm pricing and no hidden costs. The timeline depends on the scope of your project; once we start, we work hard to finish as quickly as possible without cutting corners.

Every deck is different, so we start by checking its condition. Preparation may include power washing, sanding, scraping off loose finish, re-nailing loose boards and repairing minor wood damage.
