Pergola & Gazebo Staining Burlington, WI

Pergola & gazebo staining for Burlington homes

Pergola & gazebo staining in Burlington starts with knowing the housing: a small city with a historic core, newer subdivisions and lake homes. In practice that means older decks in the historic neighborhoods.

Being near Browns Lake and the Fox River 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 cedar and pressure-treated pergolas, gazebos, arbors, privacy screens, trellises and pool-house structures across Lake County. We match the tone to your deck or fence if they were done together, or pick a tone that suits the house if the pergola stands alone.

How the job goes in Burlington

1. Inspect the structureWe check for loose rafters, split caps and any rot at post bases, and note what needs re-fastening.
2. CleanPercarbonate cleaner and a gentle rinse, with the patio and any furniture below protected.
3. Dry and light sandTwo or three dry days, then a hand-sand of rough edges and any raised grain on the rafters.
4. Brush every surfaceTops, sides, undersides and end grain of rafters and purlins, posts and caps, all by brush or pad. Sprayer only for large flat post faces.
