Deck Staining Somers, WI

Deck staining for Somers homes

Most of our deck staining calls in Somers come from homes with a village and town of rural lots, farmsteads and newer subdivisions. In practice that means decks on open, wind-exposed properties.

Somers sits on the Pike River and Lake Michigan, and waterfront wood weathers faster on the water-facing side than the house side. We check both and often give the exposed side a second coat.

We stain cedar, pressure-treated pine, and hardwood decks across Lake County. Every job starts with a proper wash and a moisture check, because stain applied to dirty or damp wood peels within a year. Then we apply a penetrating oil or oil-hybrid stain in the tone you pick, back-brushed so it soaks in instead of sitting on top.

How the job goes in Somers

1. Walk the deck with youWe look at the boards, rails, stairs and any soft spots, and confirm the stain type and tone before anything gets wet.
2. Clean and brightenA sodium percarbonate deck cleaner lifts gray oxidized wood, mildew and old failed finish. A brightener follows to neutralize and open the grain.
3. Dry and sandTwo to three dry days depending on weather. Raised grain and rough spots get a light sand so the stain goes on even.
4. Stain and back-brushApplied by pad or sprayer and immediately back-brushed into the wood. Rails, spindles and stair risers are brushed by hand.
