Pergola & Gazebo Staining Genoa City, WI

Pergola & gazebo staining for Genoa City homes

Most of our pergola & gazebo staining calls in Genoa City come from homes with a village of older homes, newer subdivisions and rural acreage. In practice that means shaded decks along the creek corridor.

Genoa City sits on the Nippersink Creek, 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 pergola sprayed from the ground looks fine from the ground. Look up from the patio underneath and every rafter has a dry stripe where the spray did not reach, and every end grain is unsealed. We get on ladders and stain the tops, sides and ends of every member. It takes longer. It is also why the finish lasts.

How the job goes in Genoa City

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.
