Niles sits in that band of established neighborhoods running west from the lake, where backyards are modest and decks get used hard through the warm months. The 480-square-foot single-level deck we were called to restore had a prior sealer coat already on it — not failed outright, but worn enough that a fresh application was overdue. Wood railings, stairs, and the full deck surface all needed attention before another Chicago winter had a chance to work any deeper into the boards.
With a re-coat job this size, surface prep determines everything. We applied a cleaner and power washed the full deck — horizontal and vertical surfaces both — then used a wood brightener where the boards needed it to even out the tone before we touched the sealer. A light sand afterward smoothed what the cleaning had raised. One coat of oil-based Rymar Xtreme Weather in Honey Brown went on across the deck boards, stairs, and handrails on top, then down through the stringers, risers, rim joist, balusters, skirt, and the accessible posts and support beams. The semi-transparent tint let the natural grain and knot patterns read through while giving the wood consistent protection across all 480 square feet.
On this Home in Niles, our Northbrook crew carried out a complete Deck Sealing across 480 of decking — from thorough surface prep and any needed repairs through to a durable, color-matched finish built to hold up to Chicago weather. Here's everything the job included:

Common questions from Niles homeowners researching Deck Sealing.
This 480 sq ft deck in Niles ran $2,490, which included cleaning, a light sand, and one coat of Rymar Xtreme Weather toned sealer on the decking, wood railing, and stairs. For a comparable single-tier deck in the Chicago area, homeowners typically see quotes ranging from $1,800 to $3,000 depending on square footage, condition, and the sealer specified.
A project this size — with cleaning, light sanding, and a full seal coat applied to decking, railings, and stairs — generally takes our crew one to two days on site. Re-coating over an existing sealer requires extra prep attention to ensure proper adhesion, which can add a few hours to the schedule.
On this job we cleaned the surface, lightly sanded to open the wood grain and remove any loose residue from the previous sealer, then applied one coat of Rymar Xtreme Weather toned sealer to the decking boards, wood railing, and stairs. The toned sealer adds a touch of color while providing UV and moisture protection across the entire deck system.
Most wood decks benefit from resealing every two to three years, though high-traffic surfaces or decks exposed to harsh Illinois winters may need attention sooner — a simple water-bead test tells you when the wood is ready to drink in a fresh coat. Using a premium product like Rymar Xtreme Weather extends the protection window compared to entry-level sealers. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 979-9299.
