Most of our deck repair calls in Deerfield come from homes with North Shore neighborhoods with mature trees and shaded lots. That means cedar fences along tight lot lines, which changes the prep more than the stain.
Deerfield is in southern Lake County. The established trees that make the yards nice also keep decks and fences shaded, and shaded wood needs a thorough chemical clean before it will take stain evenly.
This is board-level repair, not structural rebuilding. If we find rot in the joists, beams or ledger, we will show you and tell you it is a job for a deck builder. For everything above the framing, we have you covered.
