Pergola & Gazebo Staining Island Lake, IL

Pergola & gazebo staining for Island Lake homes

Most of our pergola & gazebo staining calls in Island Lake come from homes with a lake community of older cottages and newer homes. That means docks and lakeside decks on Island Lake, which changes the prep more than the stain.

With Island Lake close by, decks and fences here hold moisture longer in the mornings. We schedule the wash early in the week so there is time to dry before stain goes on.

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 Island Lake

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.
