About PerfectDecks

We Do One Thing. We Do It Right.

PerfectDecks is Arlington Heights' dedicated deck and fence restoration company. Not a general contractor. Not a handyman service. Just decks and fences โ€” restored properly, every time.

Our Story

Built on a Simple Idea: Specialize Completely

PerfectDecks was founded on one observation: most companies that offer deck restoration also offer 15 other services. Decks are an afterthought. The prep is rushed, the products are whatever's available, and the results show it.

We decided to do something different โ€” focus entirely on deck and fence restoration. Learn every wood type, every product, every technique. Invest in the right equipment. Build real expertise in something specific.

"We don't build new decks. We restore, repair, and protect the ones people already have."

That focus has driven everything โ€” from the Sherwin-Williams products we specify, to the way we inspect every deck before giving a price, to how we handle repairs before any staining begins.

The result is a company with 50+ five-star Google reviews, hundreds of restored decks and fences across the northwest Chicago suburbs, and homeowners who call us back every 2โ€“3 years without hesitation.

How We Work

The PerfectDecks Approach

Six principles that define every job we take on โ€” from the first call to the final cleanup.

๐ŸŽฏ

Specialization Over Everything

We only do decks and fences. That focus means real depth of expertise โ€” not a general contractor who adds deck staining to a long list of services.

๐Ÿ”

Inspect First, Always

Every job starts with a thorough in-person inspection. We look at every board, every railing post, every stair. We identify what needs repair before we talk about price.

๐Ÿ”จ

Repairs Before Staining

Staining over damaged wood is cosmetic. We fix the structural problems first โ€” replace soft boards, reinforce railings, rebuild stairs โ€” then we restore and protect.

๐ŸŽจ

Professional-Grade Products Only

We use Sherwin-Williams deck stains and sealers exclusively. The difference in longevity and appearance versus big-box products is significant and visible.

๐Ÿ“‹

Written Price Before We Start

You receive a clear, itemized written quote before any work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprises, ever.

๐Ÿงน

Clean Site, Always

We leave your property exactly as we found it โ€” except for a dramatically better deck. All drop cloths, materials, and debris removed before we leave.

Why We Use Sherwin-Williams

Our Process

How Every Job Works

The same careful process on every deck and fence โ€” no shortcuts.

1

Free Inspection & Quote

We come out, walk the deck and fence in person, check every board and structural element, then give you a written price.

2

Structural Repairs First

Any soft boards, loose railings, rotted posts, or damaged stairs are repaired before any cleaning or staining begins.

3

Professional Cleaning & Prep

Power wash, brightener application, and full surface prep โ€” so the stain penetrates into clean, open wood fibers.

4

Sherwin-Williams Stain & Seal

Professional-grade stain applied in the right conditions, the right number of coats, to the fully prepped surface.

5

Clean Site, Final Walkthrough

We remove all materials and equipment, clean up the surrounding area, and do a final walkthrough with you before leaving.
