Expert coatings.
Right the first time.
Deck Staining & Painting
Deck staining and sealing done right — the prep matters as much as the coat. We clean it thoroughly (no sanding down to bare wood unless you add our premium prep), then lay down the stain of your choice to lock in the color and stand up to the Illinois freeze-thaw cycle.

Exterior House Painting
Exterior painting that holds up to Illinois winters. Owner-operated means attention to trim lines, caulk, and prep — not just rolling color over problems.

Every great deck job starts with a clean surface. We pressure wash decks, driveways, siding, and fences — prep that doubles as a standalone service.

We come out, walk the deck or exterior with you, and deliver a straight-forward written estimate. No upsell, no pressure — just an honest price from the owner himself.
We Prep It Right
Proper prep is everything — skipping it is why coatings fail. Painting: we power-wash, scrape, prime, and paint (sanding available if you want it). Staining: we power-wash, scrape, and stain. Premium products, owner-level patience on every edge.
Enjoy + Maintain
Your deck, siding, or freshly painted rooms look sharp and the finish is protected — built to stand up to Illinois seasons. We're happy to talk through a simple maintenance plan so it stays that way for years to come.
A keen eye
for every detail.
Kuehne is our family name — pronounced “keen.” We carry it as a commitment: a keen eye and sharp, precise work on every project, no matter the size or scope.
Owner on every job.
Corbin Kuehne isn't managing from a distance — he's the one with the brush. When you hire Kuehne Coatings, you get the person who takes every edge line personally.
Prep first, always.
Most coating failures come from skipping prep. We don't. Every surface gets properly cleaned, dried, and addressed before a drop of stain or paint goes on.
Built for Illinois winters.
The stateline area freezes and thaws hard. We use products rated for Midwest climate and apply them when conditions are right — so the finish lasts.
Serving the

I stain and seal decks, pressure wash, and paint homes inside and out across Rockford, Roscoe, Machesney Park, and Loves Park. If you’re anywhere along the northern Illinois stateline and aren’t sure you’re in range, just reach out and I’ll let you know.

Real work.
Real results.
The finished product looks amazing — I can't imagine ever going with another company. His crew was exceptional, meticulous and careful with every step, and cleanup was thorough each day. We're 100% satisfied and can't think of one negative thing to say.
Randy & Linda Rogers
Rockford, IL
A first-class job at a decent price — 100% professional in all they did, top and bottom. Sure, they're a young crew, but I'd highly recommend Corbin and his company without hesitation.
Geoffrey Jones
Rockford, IL
Corbin was respectful, hardworking and knowledgeable — first to arrive and last to leave, cleaning the site and storing equipment every evening. He walked us through the crew's progress daily. We're very pleased with the finished project and totally satisfied.

What areas do you serve?
I cover Rockford, Roscoe, Machesney Park, and Loves Park, plus the surrounding stateline area. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask — if you're close, I'll make it work.
Are quotes really free?
Yep. The quote's free, it's in writing, and it comes straight from me — not a salesperson. No pressure, no obligation, no games.
Do you sand decks down to bare wood?
Only if it actually needs it. I clean every deck thoroughly before staining — sanding down to bare wood is a premium add-on I'll bring up only when your deck truly calls for it. I'm not going to upsell you work you don't need.
What stain do you use?
Your call — you pick the stain and the color, and I lay it down right. Want a recommendation? Just ask. I'll walk you through good options when I come look at the project.
What do you do?
Deck staining & sealing, pressure washing, exterior painting, and interior painting. All of it owner-operated, all of it prepped right.
Who's actually doing the work?
Me — Corbin. When I quote your job, I'm the one showing up with the brush. You're not getting handed off to some crew you've never met.
How long will my deck stain last?
With the prep done right and a solid stain, you're looking at a few good seasons before it wants a refresh. Exactly how long comes down to sun, foot traffic, and how hard our Illinois winters hit it.
How much does deck staining cost around Rockford?
It comes down to the size of your deck and the shape it's in, but most deck jobs around here land somewhere between a few hundred and a little over a thousand dollars. You don't have to guess either, because there's an instant ballpark calculator right on this page that gives you a real range in about thirty seconds, and the exact number always comes from a free on-site look.
How soon can I use my deck after you stain it?
Plan on staying off it for about 24 to 48 hours so the stain can fully cure, and I'll give you the exact timing for your product and the weather when I wrap up. Getting back on it too early is the quickest way to leave footprints in a fresh coat.
Do you stain composite or PVC decks?
Composite and PVC decks are built to skip staining, so most of the time a good cleaning is the right call instead of a coat. If you've got real wood, like cedar, pine, or pressure-treated, that's where staining really pays off, and I'll tell you straight which camp your deck falls in.
When's the best time of year to stain a deck in Illinois?
Late spring through early fall is the sweet spot, when it's dry and warm enough for the stain to cure right. I watch the forecast and won't lay down a coat with rain or a hard cold snap coming, because the timing is a big part of what makes a finish actually hold up through our winters.
