Deck Restoration in Lake Forest
Deck restoration before Lake Forest Day Parade season.
Deck Cleaning
Annual soft-wash cleaning removes algae, mold, and grey weathering from all deck materials.
Deck Staining & Sealing
Mildewcide-enhanced penetrating stains applied by hand brush and roller.
Cedar & Natural Material Decks
Lake Forest estate properties frequently feature cedar, Ipe hardwood, and mahogany decking. Penetrating oil treatment preserves these premium materials.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Annual cleaning and sealing prevents cracking and splintering on the most common deck material in Lake Forest.
Fence & Pergola Staining
We stain fences and pergolas to match deck work in the same visit.
Board Assessment
We flag deteriorated boards before staining. Minor repairs completed before application.
Lake Exposure. Estate Properties. Premium Natural Materials.
Lake Forest's lake proximity and open lands canopy create moisture conditions that accelerate algae on deck wood. Estate properties with large deck footprints and premium natural materials benefit most from annual professional maintenance.
Historic Market Square & David Adler Estates
Lake Forest was founded in 1857 as a Picturesque suburb with curvilinear streets designed by Almerin Hotchkiss. Historic Market Square (1915) — the first shopping center designed for automobiles in the United States — anchors downtown. Estates designed by David Adler, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and Frank Lloyd Wright require expert soft-wash technique on original masonry and historic painted surfaces.
Forest Park Beach & Middlefork Savanna
Forest Park Beach's 29 acres and the Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve provide lakefront and forest exposure that deposits organic debris on Lake Forest properties year-round. The Lake Forest Open Lands Association (founded 1967) protects nature preserves throughout the city — their mature tree canopy shades adjacent residential rooflines and driveways.
Estate Properties on Large Lots
Lake Forest homes range from historic estates designed by nationally recognized architects to mid-century colonials in Paddock Lake Estates, Middlefork Farm, and Wedgewood. The city's 17 square miles include properties with extensive exterior surfaces — large driveways, complex rooflines, and expansive deck areas that benefit from professional annual maintenance.

Walk-Through
Maintenance timeline based on your specific canopy exposure.
"Cedar deck on our estate property — grey from the open lands canopy. Cleaned and oiled perfectly. Looked brand new for the entire outdoor season."
"They matched the stain colour on our 1930s Colonial exactly. Fence done to match in the same visit. Excellent work."
"Flat section on the garage addition was green with algae. They assessed the materials, cleaned, and stained correctly. Fair price and great results."
