Short answer
Yes, we paint and stain in Montgomery, which sits in Kane and Kendall counties. Much of its housing dates from the 2000s, when the village more than tripled, so the usual needs now are deck staining, painted kitchen cabinets, interior color updates and first exterior repaints.
A village built mostly in one decade
Montgomery grew from 5,471 people in 2000 to 18,438 in 2010 and 20,262 in 2020. Houses built that fast tend to need the same work at the same time. Two decades in, deck stain has worn through several times over, kitchens are ready for an update and hallway walls carry years of scuffs from daily life.
Pressure-treated decks need dry wood first
Pressure-treated pine has to be clean and dry before it will absorb stain. We wash the deck, let it dry out, sand any raised fibers and brush a penetrating stain into the boards. Stain days need dry weather on both sides of the job, and heavy morning dew can push the start to midday.
Kitchen cabinets, two decades on
Kitchens from the 2000s usually have sound cabinet boxes, so paint is often the better route than replacement. Doors and drawer fronts come off for spraying, the boxes are finished in place and the hardware goes back on last. The cabinet painting process covers primers and cure times.
Montgomery jobs for houses from the 2000s
Deck Staining
Decks built with 2000s houses have been through many winters and need a clean, dry, freshly stained surface.
Kitchen Cabinet Painting
Kitchens from the building boom are strong candidates for painted cabinets in a new color.
Interior Painting
Hallways and family rooms get repainted with washable finishes after two decades of daily traffic.
Exterior House Painting
Many houses from the 2000s have reached the age for a first complete exterior repaint.
Fence & Pergola Staining
Wood fences installed with these houses weather alongside the decks and can be stained in the same visit.
Garage & Basement Floor Coatings
Garage floors on newer homes take an epoxy or flake coating that makes them easier to clean.
