Sun, rain, snow, freeze-thaw cycles. Your deck and fence absorb all of it. Powers Painting and Decorating protects and restores outdoor wood across Will County with staining and painting services built for real Midwest weather. Family-owned. BBB accredited.




A deck or fence is one of the first things people notice about a yard. When it looks weathered, gray, and cracked, it pulls down the whole property. When it looks rich, even, and well-maintained, it anchors the outdoor space and adds real curb appeal.
The challenge in Will County is that outdoor wood takes a beating. Summer UV fades and dries it out. Rain and humidity push moisture into the grain. Winter freezing expands that moisture and causes splitting and warping. Without proper protection, even pressure-treated lumber starts showing wear within a couple of years.
Powers Painting and Decorating has been staining and painting decks and fences throughout Plainfield, Naperville, Joliet, and the surrounding communities for years. We know which products perform in this climate, how to prep wood properly for maximum adhesion, and how to apply stain for a finish that resists fading and peeling through the full cycle of Illinois seasons.
Semi-transparent and solid stains that protect wood from UV, moisture, and foot traffic while showing off the natural grain. We work with cedar, pressure-treated pine, composite-compatible coatings, and exotic hardwoods.
For homeowners who want a solid-color deck surface, we apply exterior-grade deck paint that stands up to foot traffic and weather. Proper prep (sanding, cleaning, priming) is essential for deck paint adhesion, and we do all of it.
Privacy fences, split-rail, picket, and decorative fencing all benefit from staining. We coat both sides when accessible and focus on end-grain sealing where moisture penetration is highest.
White picket, black aluminum-look, or bold color statements. We paint fences with exterior coatings rated for direct weather exposure and UV resistance.
Grayed-out, neglected wood can often be restored. We strip old finishes, clean the surface with wood brightener, sand as needed, and apply fresh stain or paint. It’s remarkable what proper restoration can do for a deck that looks like it needs replacing.
Every deck and fence project starts with a thorough pressure wash to remove dirt, mildew, algae, and old finish residue. Clean wood absorbs stain evenly and allows coatings to bond properly.
We look at your deck or fence in person. We check the wood condition, identify rot or damage, test for existing coatings, and talk about what finish you want. You get a clear quote covering everything.
We pressure wash the surface to remove grime, old stain, and mildew. If the wood needs brightening, we apply a wood cleaner or brightener solution. We sand rough areas and replace any damaged boards (if needed and agreed upon).
Wood has to be dry before stain goes on. We schedule the application to allow proper drying after cleaning, typically 24 to 48 hours depending on weather conditions.
We carefully mask windows, fixtures, hardware, and landscaping. Protective coverings ensure your property remains clean throughout the project, then apply the finishing material - paint or stain.
We walk the project and check for even coverage, missed spots, and drips. We also give you care tips to help your finish last as long as possible.
