Dock & Pier Staining Mount Pleasant, WI

Dock & pier staining for Mount Pleasant homes

Dock & pier staining in Mount Pleasant starts with knowing the housing: suburban subdivisions from the 1970s through today on generous lots. We see a lot of long cedar fences between subdivision lots, and the work is planned around it.

Mount Pleasant sits along the Root River, and the tree cover that comes with it keeps decks and fences damp longer in the morning. We schedule washes early in the week so the wood has time to dry before stain goes on.

We clean, seal and stain fixed and seasonal wood docks, piers, boardwalks and shore steps on Fox Lake, Pistakee, Channel Lake, Lake Marie, Grass Lake, Bangs Lake, Cedar Lake, Diamond Lake, Round Lake, Island Lake and the rest of the county's inland lakes. Seasonal pier sections are best done on land in spring before they go in, or in fall after they come out.

How the job goes in Mount Pleasant

1. Schedule around the waterSpring before the pier goes in, or fall after it comes out, is ideal. Fixed docks are done in dry weather with drop cloths and containment.
2. CleanPercarbonate cleaner and low-pressure rinse remove algae, gray and goose mess. Slime on the lower boards gets a scrub.
3. Dry fullyDock wood is wetter than deck wood. We wait for a meter reading under 15% before anything goes on.
