Deck Staining in 1280 Townline Rd Ste G, Mundelein, IL 60060, United States, IL
Deck Staining at a 2-story house in 1280 Townline Rd Ste G, Mundelein, IL 60060, United States. 600 1200. Completed by our Glenview team.
What We Did
Six hundred square feet of deck surface at a two-story home on Townline Road in Mundelein — that was the scope when our crew arrived at eight in the morning. The deck had reached the point where a fresh coat of stain wasn't optional anymore, and the homeowner had settled on a semi-transparent finish, the kind that lets the grain breathe through while still putting down real protection against the seasons this part of Lake County delivers reliably.
We moved through the work in a steady rhythm, applying two full coats of the semi-transparent stain across the entire 600 square feet. Two coats on a deck this size means managing wet edges carefully and keeping the application even so the second coat lays down without lapping marks. The boards took both coats well. We were packed up and off the property by ten, two hours after we'd started — invoice handled on the way out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from 1280 Townline Rd Ste G, Mundelein, IL 60060, United States homeowners researching Deck Staining.
How much does deck staining cost in Mundelein, IL?
For a 600 sq ft deck on a 2-story house in the Mundelein area, this project came in at $3,000 with two coats of semi-transparent stain applied. In the broader Chicago suburbs, deck staining typically runs $1.50–$4.00 per square foot depending on deck condition, stain type, and number of coats needed.
How long does it take to stain a 600 sq ft deck?
A 600 sq ft deck with two coats of stain generally takes two to three days from start to finish, factoring in dry time between coats. Weather conditions in the Chicago area — humidity and temperature — can affect cure times, so we schedule accordingly to make sure each coat sets properly before the next goes down.
What's included in a deck staining service for a 2-story house?
The work on this project covered the full ~600 sq ft deck surface, including prep, application of two coats of semi-transparent stain, and cleanup. Semi-transparent stain was chosen to let the wood grain show through while still delivering solid UV and moisture protection — a common and practical choice for wood decks in the Midwest.
How long does deck stain last before I need to restain?
A quality semi-transparent stain applied in two coats, like what was used on this Mundelein deck, typically holds up three to five years depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and how well the surface was prepped beforehand. Keeping the deck clean and doing a light inspection each spring will help you catch any wear early and extend the life of the finish. For a quote, call our Glenview team at (630) 984-6116.
