Deck repair in Mundelein starts with knowing the housing: older bungalows near downtown plus 1980s-to-2000s subdivisions. In practice that means docks and shore decks on Diamond Lake.
With Diamond Lake close by, decks and fences here hold moisture longer in the mornings. We schedule the wash early in the week so there is time to dry before stain goes on.
Staining over a rotted board is a waste of stain. It also hides the problem for a year until someone puts a foot through it. Replacing a handful of boards before staining is cheap, and new cedar or treated boards blend in well once everything is stained the same tone. We also re-drive popped nails and swap them for screws so they stop lifting.
