Pergola & Gazebo Staining Hawthorn Woods, IL

Pergola & gazebo staining for Hawthorn Woods homes

Pergola & gazebo staining in Hawthorn Woods starts with knowing the housing: acre-plus lots, wooded properties and newer estate homes. We see a lot of long fence runs on large lots and horse properties, and the work is planned around it.

Much of Hawthorn Woods is in western Lake County, where mature trees are the main issue: shade keeps wood damp and grows mildew on the north side. Cleaning is not optional here, and we brighten after so the tone comes back.

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 Hawthorn Woods

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.
