Wood Staining Services
Protect and Enhance Your Wood — Expert Staining for Long-Lasting Results
Natural wood can add warmth and beauty to any property—but without proper care, it doesn’t stay that way for long. Sun, rain, snow, and Chicago’s changing seasons can wear down even the best materials. At FreshFix Services, we offer professional wood staining services that protect and revive your decks, fences, porches, stairs, and more. Whether it’s a fresh build or restoring old wood, we’ll bring out its natural character and make it last.
We’re a small, owner-operated business—not a crew of strangers coming in and out. You get professional results, honest work, and a personal touch from someone who treats your property like it’s their own.
What Kind of Wood Staining Do We Offer?
We handle a wide variety of wood staining needs, including:
Deck staining and refinishing for new or weathered decks
Fence staining to boost curb appeal and protect from rot
Porch floors, stairs, and handrails
Exterior wood trim, shutters, and columns
Small commercial wood surfaces like benches, signs, or entryways
Light interior work such as railings, beams, and mantels
If it’s raw or previously stained wood, we’ll clean it up and give it a fresh, sealed finish that stands up to Chicago weather.
Our Wood Staining Process
We don’t just brush it on and leave. Every job is done with prep, patience, and pride:
Assessment
We inspect the condition of your wood and recommend the right type of stain (transparent, semi-transparent, or solid).
Cleaning & Prep
We power wash, sand, and strip as needed to remove dirt, mildew, or old finish.
Stain Application
Using professional techniques, we apply the stain evenly for smooth, rich color that highlights the natural grain.
Sealing
When requested, we finish the job with a clear sealant for extra moisture protection and UV resistance.

FAQ’s
-
Most stains last 2–4 years, depending on exposure, type of wood, and maintenance. We use high-quality products for longer durability.
-
We’ll assess your surface—some old finishes can be recoated, but heavily worn or peeling areas usually require stripping or sanding first.
-
Many stains are 2-in-1 with built-in sealers. For added protection, we offer clear topcoats upon request.
-
Absolutely. We’ll help you pick a tone that complements your home and give you a sample before we begin.
-
New wood often needs time to dry out—usually 4–8 weeks—before staining. We’ll help you time it right for best results.
