Fence staining in Long Grove starts with knowing the housing: a historic downtown surrounded by acre lots and estate homes. We see a lot of big decks and pergolas under mature trees, and the work is planned around it.
In western Lake County, where Long Grove sits, the variable is shade. Sunny decks gray and dry out; shaded ones stay green. We treat each side of the same deck accordingly.
Fence staining is a volume job, so the shortcuts are obvious: a quick spray with no back-brush, no cleaning first, one side only. That fence looks great for a summer and fails the next. We clean the fence first because a new fence has mill glaze and an old one has gray and mildew, and stain does not bond to either. Then we spray and brush so the stain is in the wood, not on it.
