Antioch Decks Face Lakefront Conditions
Antioch is surrounded by the Chain O'Lakes, which means wood decks and fences take a beating from lake moisture, summer sun and winter freeze-thaw. Here's how we handle it.
Lakefront moisture
Wood near the lake absorbs moisture constantly. We use deep-penetrating stain and sealer that lock out moisture and prevent rot.
Harsh sun exposure
Open lakefronts get full sun that fades wood. UV-blocking stain keeps color from fading too fast.
Freeze-thaw cycles
Illinois winters freeze and thaw wood repeatedly, cracking the grain. Sealer flexes with the wood so it stays protected on decks in Antioch.
Wood staining requires dry weather. We schedule around rain and humidity so the stain penetrates properly and the sealer cures right.

Seven steps, same order every time, whether it's a small deck or a whole property fence.

Lack of sanding before staining leaves the wood rough and unsafe.
