Pergola & Gazebo Staining Lincolnshire, IL

Pergola & gazebo staining for Lincolnshire homes

Lincolnshire has wooded 1970s-to-1990s neighborhoods with mature trees, and that shapes how we approach pergola & gazebo staining here. We see a lot of shaded decks along the river corridor, and the work is planned around it.

The wooded corridor along the Des Plaines River means a lot of Lincolnshire yards are shaded for most of the day. Shaded wood stays damp, grows mildew on the north side and needs a thorough chemical clean and brightener before it will take stain evenly.

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 Lincolnshire

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.
