Pergola & Gazebo Staining Mount Pleasant, WI

Pergola & gazebo staining for Mount Pleasant homes

Mount Pleasant has suburban subdivisions from the 1970s through today on generous lots, and that shapes how we approach pergola & gazebo staining here. In practice that means original builder decks now 20 to 40 years old.

Mount Pleasant sits along the Root River, and the tree cover that comes with it keeps decks and fences damp longer in the morning. We schedule washes early in the week so the wood has 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.
