Fence cleaning for Lakemoor homes

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.

How the job goes in Lakemoor

  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.

Lakemoor fence cleaning FAQ

Can you pressure wash a wood fence?

Only at low pressure with a wide tip, after a cleaner has done the work. High pressure splinters fence boards and leaves wand marks. We rinse, we do not blast.

Will cleaning kill the plants along my fence?

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.

How far in advance should I book fence cleaning in Lakemoor?

Two to four weeks in spring and early fall, which are the busiest windows. Midsummer usually has more availability. Text photos and your town and we will give you a date with the quote.

Do you charge extra to come to Lakemoor?

No. Lakemoor is inside Lake County, and we cover the whole county from Libertyville with no trip charge.
