Highwood has compact lots and older homes near Fort Sheridan, and that shapes how we approach deck restoration here. We see a lot of lake-effect exposure on east-facing decks, and the work is planned around it.
With Lake Michigan nearby 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.
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.
Homeowners here also ask us about Deck sealing in Highwood, Deck staining in Highwood and Composite deck cleaning in Highwood. See everything on the Highwood service area page, or read the full deck restoration guide. We also cover nearby Bannockburn, Deerfield and Lake Bluff.
