Fence Restoration in Arlington Heights, IL

Your Fence Deserves the Same Care as Your Deck

Most homeowners spend time and money restoring their deck while the fence right next to it gets ignored. The result is a backyard that looks mismatched — a beautiful deck surrounded by a gray, weathered fence. We restore both, or either.

We clean, repair, stain, and seal cedar and pressure treated pine fences across Arlington Heights and all northwest Chicago suburbs. Our process extends fence life, improves curb appeal from the street, and protects the wood from Illinois winters.

Fence Services

Everything Your Fence Needs

From a basic wash-and-stain to a full restoration with repairs, we handle every stage of fence care.

Fence power washing
Step 1

Power Wash & Deep Clean

We strip years of dirt, mold, algae, and old stain from every fence board and post — opening the wood grain for proper stain absorption and a clean, even finish.

  • Remove mold, algae & grime
  • Strip old stain residue
  • Wood brightener applied if needed
  • Proper dry time before staining
Fence board and post repairs

Board & Post Repairs

We inspect every board, post, and rail for rot, damage, or instability before staining. Structural issues are fixed first — cosmetics only make sense on a solid structure.

  • Replace rotted or broken boards
  • Repair or replace damaged posts
  • Re-secure loose rails & pickets
  • Gate hardware & hinge repair

Fence sealing and weather protection

Sealing & Weather Protection

A protective sealer coat locks in the stain, repels moisture, and guards against UV fading and freeze-thaw damage — particularly important for Illinois winters.

  • Water-resistant sealer application
  • UV fade protection
  • Guards against freeze-thaw cracking
  • Extends stain life by years

In-Person Inspection Every Time

We walk the full fence line, check every post, and identify every bad board before quoting. You get an accurate price — not a guess made over the phone.

🎨

⭐

Restoration Is All We Do

We don't build fences, install gutters, or do landscaping. 100% of our experience is deck and fence restoration — and that focus shows in every finished job.

What Homeowners Are Saying

Real neighbors, real fences, real results.

★★★★★

"Our cedar privacy fence looked terrible — completely gray and almost black in spots from mold. PerfectDecks power washed it, replaced three bad boards, and stained it a beautiful natural cedar color. It looks brand new and the whole backyard looks better for it."

"I had them do the deck and fence together. The stain colors complement each other perfectly — they helped me choose something that tied both together. The crew was efficient, cleaned up everything, and the results were exactly what I wanted. Already recommended them to two neighbors."

"My PT pine fence was 8 years old with zero treatment. I expected to replace it. PerfectDecks came out, said it was structurally fine, replaced a couple posts, and did a full restoration. Saved me thousands over replacement and it looks incredible."

FAQ

Fence Restoration FAQs

How often does a wood fence need to be stained? ▼
Most wood fences in the Chicago suburbs benefit from re-staining every 2–3 years. The harsh Illinois climate — freeze-thaw cycles, summer UV, and humidity — accelerates wear on unprotected wood. We'll give you a specific recommendation based on your fence type and current condition.
Can you match the fence stain to my deck? ▼
Absolutely — and we recommend it. When restoring both, we help you choose stain colors that are either matched or intentionally complementary. A cohesive deck-and-fence look makes the whole backyard feel intentionally designed. We can bring Sherwin-Williams color samples to your consultation.
Do you replace individual fence boards or just stain? ▼
Both — and we prefer to handle repairs and staining together. We replace rotted or broken boards, re-secure loose pickets, and repair damaged posts before applying any stain. Staining over structural damage is a waste of money, so we always address repairs first.
Do you do cedar fences specifically? ▼
Yes — cedar is one of our most common fence materials. Cedar requires products that are compatible with its natural oils. We use cedar-appropriate Sherwin-Williams stains that enhance the grain and warm color tones rather than blocking the wood's natural properties.
