Barrington has a historic village center with larger lots and older homes, and that shapes how we approach deck restoration here. In practice that means older cedar decks that have been stained many times.
Barrington sits along the Fox River nearby, and the tree cover that comes with it keeps decks and fences damp longer in the morning. We schedule washes early in the week so the wood has time to dry before stain goes on.
A lot of the older decks in Lake County are cedar from the 1980s and 1990s, and a lot of them are sound underneath a bad finish. Restoration is usually a fraction of the cost of replacement. We will tell you plainly when a deck is past saving, but most are not.

Yes. Paint and solid stain are the hardest to strip and often need sanding as well. It takes longer, and the result is worth it: bare wood that takes a proper penetrating finish.
