The short version
Deck staining and exterior painting in Algonquin, IL focus on homes built during the village's growth from 1990 to 2010, now well into their maintenance cycles. We stain decks and paint exteriors from late April into early October and paint interiors all year.
A village that grew with the 1990s and 2000s
Algonquin, in McHenry and Kane counties, grew from 12,259 residents in 1990 to 23,452 in 2000 and 30,065 in 2010, and it counted 29,700 at the 2020 census. That growth curve means most homes here were built within a twenty-year window, so many decks, fences and exteriors reach their maintenance points around the same time, often within a few summers of one another.
Decks from those years have usually been through several stain cycles; if the old finish is peeling, it needs stripping before new stain.

Algonquin decks and exteriors are booked into the earlier part of the fall window, since spots west of the Fox River can freeze before the city does. Interiors run all year.
