Pergola & Gazebo Staining Lindenhurst, IL

Pergola & gazebo staining for Lindenhurst homes

Most of our pergola & gazebo staining calls in Lindenhurst come from homes with 1970s-to-1990s subdivisions with a lot of original decks. We see a lot of small docks on the village lakes, and the work is planned around it.

With small lakes throughout the village 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.

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.
