I had been in constant communication with Ryan (and Brian) via email, phone and text for a couple months prior to the work being done. We've had a rainy Spring and it was tough to work around this weather, but once we found a clear sunny day they fit me in and I was thrilled. That was yesterday. I have a pretty good size deck surrounding my pool that my husband and I have attempted to stain and seal previously, but man it was lookin rough by year 5. These guys showed up, about 6 of them maybe more I lost track, and they came to work. They turned on their music and got to it. They had the whole thing done in like 2 hours! It would take us days to get it done and it never looked this good. I really love the color, a rich Sienna is what we chose and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I will keep these guys in my rolodex of "good ones". See pics. read more

Chicagoland Deck Cleaning & Sealing - before 5/2019 - Decks & Railing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

I'm the president of an 8 unit condo building and I used Chicagoland Deck to power wash and seal the one common deck and 8 private decks in my building, and I could not be happier with the experience. First off, the estimate I obtained from them - in the fall of 2017 - was half that of a competitor, so they had my attention right there. While I delayed in accepting the bid until June of 2018, they still honored the original estimate. Which was pretty cool of them. Because these guys are popular and kind of a big deal, they weren't able to come out until October, but they were still able to fit us in despite that rainy rainy month. They clearly communicated their schedule by email, first two weeks in advance, then a week in advance, so that I was able to wrangle my fellow owners to be available to provide deck access. The crew was friendly, professional, enthusiastic, and delivered great results. The decks had not been cleaned and sealed in 5 years and they turned some sickly looking wood into healthy, glowing "did you just spend a week at the beach?" bronzed beauties. I was dazzled, and will definitely be giving them a call in another 5 years when our decks once again need to be gussied up for their close-ups. read more

Good decks from kyle tyler and jack owens. Very specialized service and well worth the money. Also very affordable. Can't recommend enough

Love, love the work they did on our deck. Crew came out one day and power washed it. Looked brand new when they were finished and two days later another crew came out and stained. Both crews were so polite and professional. Wish everyone I deal with could be this wonderful to work with. Ryan kept me well informed of the progress of the job and never let me wonder what was happening. And I found their rate to be very reasonable. Give them a call, I don't think you will be disappointed read more

I felt the need to write this review after watching NBC 5 news last night. First and foremost, Chicagoland is NOT what was predicted on last nights review, We used Chicagoland several years ago and were completely satisfied with not only the amazing work but the kind, courteous workers and management staff at Chicagoland Deck. They provided above and beyond service. We currently have them hired to clean and seal a new backyard fence this upcoming 2020 summer. Chicagoland also has the most competitive, reasonable pricing when compared to other companies. I also have several friends and family memebers who have used Chicagoland this past year and rave about their outstanding service, kind employees, exceptional management and they deliver what is promised. Let their work speak for themselves! DO NOT let one bad apple spoil the entire bunch. Completely satisfied Customer!!!! read more

My wife and I have used Chicagoland Deck twice. Once at our first home to clean and finish our wooden fence, and again when we moved. We installed a new wooden fence. Our neighbor was about to attempt to clean his old wood fence as we were getting ready to have ours sealed. We partnered and had Chicagoland Deck do both properties. It was an absolute success. The old grey fence looks as new as our new fence. There was no mess. They bagged all the empty cans and rags and placed them in the garbage. We were very satisfied and would recommend them to anyone looking to stain and seal any outdoor wood deck or fence. read more

Okay- I loved these guys- they did a great job of calling back immediately, coming out and surveying, giving us a very reasonable quote and answering all our questions. They came in and power washed and stained over 2 days and did a thorough job. There were some spots that had extra stain and were a bit sticky- we called them up (and this was after we'd already paid them) Most businesses ignore you at this point but these guys came in and fixed the sticky parts right away! I loved them, and highly recommend them-- though the tiny complaint I have is that the wait time was a couple of months- wish they could have come out sooner- that's all- but I'm still giving them top rating! read more

They did a great job, the price was reasonable, and Ryan the owner was very responsive. This is the second time I've used them to power wash and seal my large, multi-level deck, so I'm a happy repeat customer. I highly recommend them! read more

Chicagoland Decks were eminently professional. They communicated clearly and quickly throughout the process. We are very happy with the results. read more

Excellent from beginning to end. Professional and punctual. The quality of work is superior. The neighbors inquired about you because of the quick and excellent work you did. Will definitely call again in three years! read more

Chicagoland Deck Cleaning & Sealing was a pleasure to work with. It took a few weeks for them to tackle my project, but they were upfront about their time frame from the very first time I called. They were also fantastic about staying in touch and keeping me up to date as I waited for the project to start. The crews they sent over were professional, friendly and very efficient. My whole deck was power washed in one afternoon and stained another. I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend them in the future. read more

Had a fantastic experience with this crew. They washed, stained and sealed our decks at a very reasonable rate. Soon after, we had a mishap and some spilled paint on the deck, and Ryan was so accommodating. He came out of his way to drop of us off leftover stain free of charge, and was so sweet about it. Very much appreciate their good work and excellent customer service! read more

Chicagoland Deck Cleaning and Sealing (CDCS) recently completed staining and sealing of a new porch on the 2-flat building that I own and live in. I was referred to CDCS by the porch builders, Lumber One. CDCS's owner Bill, his wife Jean, and the company's crews were professional, prompt, and courteous ALWAYS. During the very first phone call, it was clear that this company had a solid reputation for a reason. After talking with Bill for the first time, I knew exactly how the company operated in terms of work content, scheduling, and their approach to ongoing maintenance. Besides keeping me promptly informed in changes to the schedule due to weather conditions and the progress the work, Bill has proactively followed-up with me several times from the start of work on the porch through the job's completion to make sure that my satisfaction aligned with my expectations. Any concerns I had were expediently addressed by Bill and his crew. The bottom line is that owning a home means dealing with contractors at many times during ownership for improvements and maintenance. Given my experience over the years with a variety of contractors, I can say without a doubt that Chicagoland Deck Cleaning and Sealing is at the top of their game in terms of customer service, quality of work, and quotes an extremely competitive price. I highly recommend Chicagoland Deck Cleaning and Sealing! read more

This is a future tense review. Our neighbors used CDCS and some windblown droplets got on my car. I called Bill who quickly, professionally and honestly remedied the problem with a professional car detailing. It was so refreshing to deal with an honest and upright contractor. Bill is an honest man--honest men do honest work. I would give six stars just for that. The neighbor's deck looks great. I will use CDCS from here on. read more

At first we weren't going to use Chicagoland Decks because I wasn't crazy about Bill's (the owner's) demeanor. In the end we decided to go with them because they seemed aware of the complexities of a brand new deck. However, I still found him to be rude and very direct. I have no doubt they know what they are doing (which is why they get 3 stars) but it wasn't a great experience. We definitely trusted them to know when it was safe to sand and stain our new deck (and the poor weather conditions weren't helping) but when I questioned whether the forecast looked good enough to get on the schedule he chastised me for telling him how to do his job. So much for customer service. We felt at their mercy and had to take the snaps. When they stained the deck (which they did a good job doing) they broke a hanging light fixture in one area AND an edison light bulb on a chandelier under the covered area. The worst part is they never even mentioned it - we just found the broker fixture lying on the ground, and the broken light bulb I happened to notice when we sat under it (so they cleaned up the glass and knew it was broken. When we received the bill we had to go to them to get it resolved, which they did without issue. Just not a 5-star experience - sorry. read more

We recently hired Chicagoland to clean and stain the deck for our 6 unit condo building on Chicago's north side. From our initial contact with Bill (the owner) to the actual performance of the work, the service was tremendous. Prompt replies, really polished and timely communication, a fair and reasonable quote, and an extremely good looking deck in then end. The quality of their work was really outstanding. If you're looking for a reliable deck cleaning, deck staining or deck sealing company in Chicago, I'd definitely turn to Chicagoland. We'll be calling them in a couple years when it's time to restain our deck again. read more

I should have written this review a month ago. These guys were fantastic. They came in and did a beautiful job on the deck. However, we had one hiccup. The cedar lattice above our deck was power washed and cedar particles were left all over our neighbors pergola. He was furious, thinking that the power washers had chipped away at his fresh paint. The team (including the owner) came out immediately to rectify the situation. They explained that the pergola was not damaged, and what was seen was actually cedar particles. Then they cleaned the entire pergola by hand, in the rain! They did this just to ensure that all parties were happy and satisfied. Ourselves and the neighbor were so grateful for their professionalism. They took a potentially bad situation and turned it completely around. Great attitudes, great service and great work ethic. I am so thankful for how they handled this situation and for the excellent job they did on our deck. I would highly recommend them. read more

I've used CDCS 3 times over the past 5 years. They've been cleaning and sealing the back decks and fence at our condo building and have done a great job. Bill the owner is a pleasure to deal with and the company is very professional. Every time they come to the property, they show up early (they call of course), are efficient, and very friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Ryan was very professional and customer service oriented. He was here when he said he would be, explained what he would do and did an excellent job. You will not be disappointed if you utilize his company for your deck cleaning. His rates are very reasonable as well. I will be using him again in the spring for my summer house and my daughter's house as well. read more
