Most of our fence cleaning calls in Lakemoor come from homes with newer subdivisions along Route 120 and older lake cottages. That means builder-grade treated decks on newer homes, which changes the prep more than the stain.
With Lily Lake nearby close by, decks and fences here hold moisture longer in the mornings. We schedule the wash early in the week so there is time to dry before stain goes on.
A fence that has never been cleaned will not take stain evenly, and a fence that was blasted with high pressure will take stain in blotches wherever the surface was torn. Cleaning is not glamorous, but it is what decides how the stain looks. If your fence just needs to stop being green, cleaning alone is a good yearly maintenance job.
Homeowners here also ask us about Pergola & gazebo staining in Lakemoor, Dock & pier staining in Lakemoor and Deck restoration in Lakemoor. See everything on the Lakemoor service area page, or read the full fence cleaning guide. We also cover nearby Round Lake Beach, Volo and Fox Lake.

The cleaners we use are oxygen-based and break down into soda ash and water. We wet plants before and rinse after, and have not had issues with lawns or perennials.
