Housing in McHenry
River homes and the weather that comes with them
McHenry grew along the Fox River, and many homes sit near the water or on the channels toward the Chain O'Lakes. Some started as summer cottages and were turned into year-round homes over the years. Damp air off the river encourages mildew on north walls, and wood decks, porches and railings near the water weather quickly.
Away from the river, the city has older neighborhoods near downtown and newer subdivisions. About 73 percent of households own their home, and with a median owner home value near $245,000, owners tend to choose repair and repaint over replacement.

Where in McHenry we paint
We work the homes along the river and the channels, the older neighborhoods near downtown and Green Street, and the subdivisions on the east and west sides. Johnsburg, Island Lake and Wonder Lake are on the same routes from the Crystal Lake head office.
Exterior jobs near the water are scheduled for dry stretches, since siding and decks need to dry fully before paint or stain goes on.

Damp air off the water and shade on north walls let mildew grow. We wash it off at a safe pressure and use a paint with mildew resistance.
Usually every two to three years, sooner if water sits on the boards or the deck gets full sun.
