Fence Cleaning & Staining in Chicago’s North Shore
Your fence cleaned, prepped, and stained — built to handle Chicago’s weather.
A clean, stained fence protects the wood and keeps your property looking sharp. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles, summer UV, and constant moisture break down unfinished wood quickly — stain seals it against all three.
We clean and stain wood privacy fences, picket fences, cedar, and pine. If boards are cracked or rotting, we’ll give you an honest assessment before any work starts.

Why a Well-Kept Fence Matters
Weather Protection
Stain seals wood against moisture, UV rays, and the freeze-thaw cycles that cause warping, splitting, and gray discoloration.
Property Appearance
A fence is one of the most visible parts of your yard. A fresh stain restores the natural wood tone and defines the space.
Longer Fence Life
Regular cleaning and staining prevents rot and deterioration — extending the life of the fence and avoiding costly replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fence cleaning and staining cost?
Fence staining starts at $695, including labor and materials. Pricing depends on the total linear footage, fence height, condition of the wood, and whether both sides need treatment.
Do you stain both sides of the fence?
We can stain one or both sides depending on your preference. If only one side faces the street or your yard, many homeowners choose to stain just the visible side to keep costs down.
What types of wood fences can you stain?
We work with cedar, pine, and other common fence woods. Each wood type absorbs stain differently, so we adjust the application method accordingly. We don’t stain vinyl or composite fences, as those materials don’t absorb stain.
Can a gray, weathered fence be restored with staining?
In most cases, cleaning and staining brings weathered wood back to a natural tone. If the wood is structurally sound but discolored, restoration is almost always more practical than replacement.
How long should I wait to stain a newly installed fence?
New pressure-treated lumber needs to dry for four to eight weeks before staining. Staining too early traps moisture inside the wood and leads to peeling. Cedar and untreated pine can be stained sooner.
