Bellwood Color Craft Painting stains decks and fences across Frankfort using penetrating oil-based stains that hold up to Illinois winters — no peeling, no fading.
Deck and fence staining in Frankfort, IL starts at $149. Bellwood Color Craft Painting is a licensed, insured Illinois company that applies penetrating stains to protect wood from moisture and UV damage. A standard job includes pressure washing, spot sanding, and a brushed-in stain application. Most Frankfort decks and fences are finished in 2 to 3 days. We serve Frankfort and the surrounding Will County suburbs.
Wood soaks up stain differently based on age, species, and weather exposure. A bad stain job peels in six months. Our full deck and fence staining services page covers our statewide approach in more depth.
Film-forming deck stains sit on top of the wood and peel fast. We use penetrating stains that soak in and last for years.
Dirt and old gray wood block stain absorption. We pressure-wash and brighten the wood so the stain actually penetrates.
Stain needs 48 hours of dry weather to cure. We watch the forecast and time the job so you don't get rain spots.
Every picket has four sides. We spray and back-brush so every edge gets covered, not just the front face.
No hidden prep work or short cuts. Here's exactly what happens from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.
Same deck, same fence — just cleaned, brightened, and sealed with a penetrating stain that protects for years.


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 looks simple, but it takes knowing how different woods absorb stain and what the weather is going to do the next two days. We spray, we back-brush, and we don't cut corners on prep work because those corners are exactly where water gets in first. We've stained hundreds of decks and fences across Frankfort and we know what holds up.
