Most of our fence staining calls in Wauconda come from homes with older lake cottages, a village core and newer subdivisions. We see a lot of docks and piers on Bangs Lake, and the work is planned around it.
Being near Bangs Lake matters too. Wood close to water sees more humidity, more morning dew and, on open water, more reflected sun. We allow extra drying time and lean toward stains with stronger UV blockers on the exposed sides.
We stain fences of every length, from a 60-foot side yard to a 400-foot perimeter. Fences are sprayed for coverage and back-brushed for penetration, one side at a time, with the neighbor's side handled by agreement. Overspray protection for grass, beds, siding and vehicles is part of the job.
