Deck restoration in Highland Park starts with knowing the housing: North Shore homes on ravine and lakefront lots with old-growth trees. In practice that means estate fences and pergolas.
Being near Lake Michigan matters too. Wood close to water sees more humidity, more morning dew and, on open water, more reflected sun. We allow extra drying time and lean toward stains with stronger UV blockers on the exposed sides.
A lot of the older decks in Lake County are cedar from the 1980s and 1990s, and a lot of them are sound underneath a bad finish. Restoration is usually a fraction of the cost of replacement. We will tell you plainly when a deck is past saving, but most are not.
