Fence & Deck Staining in Jersey County, IL
Jersey County is river country — Grafton, Elsah and Jerseyville — with the Great River Road running its length and Pere Marquette State Park at the end of it. Properties here are frequently built to look at the water, which means large decks, long runs of exposed railing, and humidity coming off two rivers at once. It is some of the prettiest territory we cover and some of the hardest on exterior wood. Finishes do not last as long here, and planning for that beats being surprised by it.

Jersey County — common questions
How often will this need doing if I live near the river?
More often than inland, and it is better to plan for that than be surprised by it. Properties around Grafton, Elsah and Jerseyville sit in constant humidity from two rivers, and large view decks carry a lot of exposed railing. Expect a shorter interval than a sheltered suburban deck and treat it as the running cost of the view.
Is there a best time of year for river-country properties?
Late spring and early autumn tend to work best. Midsummer humidity along the Great River Road can stop wood drying to the point where a finish will properly penetrate, and we would rather wait for a good window than apply stain to damp wood. We schedule Jersey County work around that.
