Pergola & Gazebo Staining Ingleside, IL

Pergola & gazebo staining for Ingleside homes

Most of our pergola & gazebo staining calls in Ingleside come from homes with unincorporated lake homes and cottages in the Chain O'Lakes area. That means older cottages with weathered wood, which changes the prep more than the stain.

Being near Wooster Lake, Fox Lake and Long 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 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.

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.
