Fence Cleaning Round Lake, IL

Fence cleaning for Round Lake homes

Round Lake has 1950s-to-1990s ranches, split-levels and lake homes, and that shapes how we approach fence cleaning here. That means older decks that have gone gray, which changes the prep more than the stain.

With Round Lake 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 Round Lake

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.
