Wood Fence Restoration in Chicago on North Drake Avenue. 1225 linear ft restored. Completed by our Chicago team.
Completed by our Chicago crew
What We Did
A wood fence enclosing a Chicago backyard doesn't get much relief from the seasons. The freeze-thaw cycle works moisture into the grain through winter, and by the time summer UV has had its turn, the surface is typically dull, dried out, and drinking up whatever you put on it. That was the condition we found here — 1,225 linear feet of fence surrounding the backyard of a home on the north side, taking in posts, upper and lower braces, and pickets on both the interior and exterior faces wherever we could reach them.
We power washed and cleaned the wood first to clear out the grime and open the grain before any sealer went down. Once the fence had dried, we applied one coat of TWP 1500 Series oil-based semi-transparent sealer in the customer's chosen color, working through the posts and bracing before moving to the pickets and keeping both sides of each run consistent as we went. At 1,225 square feet of fence surface, the job called for steady pacing and clear sequencing to make sure nothing was skipped in the longer runs. The customer had handled clearing obstructions ahead of time and had coordinated with neighbors for access, which kept the day moving without interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Wood Fence Restoration.
How much does wood fence restoration cost in Chicago, IL?
For this Chicago home, restoring 1,225 linear feet of wood fence came to $2,990 — a fraction of what full replacement would have run. Cost is driven by fence length, the condition of the existing wood, and the finish selected, so larger or more deteriorated fences will land at a different number.
How long does it take to restore a wood fence this size?
A project covering 1,225 linear feet typically spans a few days, accounting for prep, any board repairs, and the time needed for stain or sealant to properly penetrate the wood. Exact duration depends on the fence's condition going in and weather cooperating during the finish stage.
What's included in a wood fence restoration service?
Fence restoration covers a full inspection of the existing boards and posts, cleaning and stripping of old finish, replacement of damaged or rotted sections, and application of a protective stain or sealant across the entire surface. On this job, all 1,225 linear feet were prepped and finished so the fence came out uniform rather than patchy.
How long does fence staining last on a wood fence?
A properly applied stain or sealant on a wood fence typically holds up three to five years in the Chicago climate before it needs refreshing, though exposure level and wood species affect that timeline. Keeping up with cleaning and catching any small cracks early extends the life of each coat significantly. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 997-1817.
