Deck and fence staining in Algonquin, IL starts at $149. Bellwood Color Craft Painting is a licensed, insured Illinois painting company that stains and seals outdoor wood surfaces across Algonquin.

We work throughout Algonquin and the surrounding McHenry County suburbs, with most decks and fences finished in 2 to 3 days.
Outdoor wood takes a beating from rain, snow, and Illinois humidity. A cheap stain job looks bad in a year and leaves wood unprotected. Our full deck and fence staining services page covers our complete statewide approach in more depth.
Skipping a wash leaves dirt in the wood grain. Stain sits on top instead of soaking in, then peels.
Untreated wood absorbs stain unevenly. We sand and prep so every inch takes stain the same way.
Stain needs 48 hours of dry weather to set. We time the job so rain doesn't wash your sealer away.
Water-based stains sit on top. Oil-based stains penetrate. We pick the right one for your wood.
No mystery steps skipped to save time. Here's exactly what happens to your outdoor wood from start to finish.
Same deck or fence, same boards — just wood that looks rich and protected instead of gray and weathered.


We're a licensed, insured painting crew based in Cook County — not a subcontractor hired off a marketplace app the week of your job. Deck and fence staining is about prep and timing. We pressure wash every board, let everything dry completely, then apply stain that penetrates deep into the wood instead of sitting on the surface. We don't rush the dry time, we don't stain in bad weather, and we don't leave until the wood looks even and sealed.
Eight steps, every job, no shortcuts taken to hit a deadline.
We inspect your wood and give a real price on the spot.
Dirt, mildew, and old stain are blasted off the entire surface.
