Fence Cleaning Hainesville, IL

Fence cleaning for Hainesville homes

Most of our fence cleaning calls in Hainesville come from homes with newer subdivisions built in the 1990s and 2000s. That means privacy fences between close lots, which changes the prep more than the stain.

Much of Hainesville is in central Lake County, where mature trees are the main issue: shade keeps wood damp and grows mildew on the north side. Cleaning is not optional here, and we brighten after so the tone comes back.

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 Hainesville

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.
