Fence Cleaning Lindenhurst, IL

Fence cleaning for Lindenhurst homes

Lindenhurst has 1970s-to-1990s subdivisions with a lot of original decks, and that shapes how we approach fence cleaning here. That means small docks on the village lakes, which changes the prep more than the stain.

Lindenhurst sits on small lakes throughout the village, and waterfront wood weathers faster on the water-facing side than the house side. We check both and often give the exposed side a second coat.

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 Lindenhurst

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.
