Fence Cleaning Bannockburn, IL

Fence cleaning for Bannockburn homes

Fence cleaning in Bannockburn starts with knowing the housing: large wooded lots with substantial homes. That means pergolas and outdoor structures on estate properties, which changes the prep more than the stain.

In southern Lake County, where Bannockburn sits, the variable is shade. Sunny decks gray and dry out; shaded ones stay green. We treat each side of the same deck accordingly.

We clean fences with a percarbonate wood cleaner and a low-pressure rinse, the same way we clean decks. A pressure washer wand at 3,000 PSI held close to a fence board will leave permanent stripe marks and splinter the surface. We have been called to fix a lot of those.

How the job goes in Bannockburn

1. Pre-wet and protectPlants along the fence line are soaked so the cleaner does not affect them. Siding and windows in range are rinsed.
2. Apply cleanerSodium percarbonate solution goes on by pump sprayer, dwells 10 to 15 minutes and lifts algae, mildew and gray oxidation.
3. Scrub problem spotsThe bottom foot of the fence and shaded sections get a stiff brush where growth is thick.
4. Low-pressure rinseWide fan tip, well off the boards, working top to bottom so dirty water does not re-streak clean areas.
