Pergola & Gazebo Staining Racine, WI

Pergola & gazebo staining for Racine homes

Racine has a lakefront city with historic neighborhoods and post-war subdivisions, and that shapes how we approach pergola & gazebo staining here. In practice that means older decks and porches in the historic districts.

Racine sits on Lake Michigan and the Root River, and waterfront wood weathers faster on the water-facing side than the house side. We check both and often give the exposed side a second coat.

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 Racine

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.
