Dock & Pier Staining Pell Lake, WI

Dock & pier staining for Pell Lake homes

Dock & pier staining in Pell Lake starts with knowing the housing: a lake community of cottages and modest year-round homes. We see a lot of piers and shore decks on Pell Lake, and the work is planned around it.

Being near Pell Lake 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.

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 Pell Lake

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.
4. Stain or sealPenetrating finish, back-brushed, with attention to board ends and the underside edges where water wicks in.
