About Lake County
Lake County had 498,700 residents at the 2020 census, making it Indiana's second-most populous county, with Crown Point as its seat. Its population peaked at 546,000 in 1970 and bottomed out at 475,000 in 1990, so a large share of its housing dates from the decades around that peak.
About 80 percent of the county's people live in the north around Gary, Hammond, East Chicago and Merrillville, and the rest in the southern towns such as Cedar Lake, Lowell and Crown Point. The north brings older houses, rentals and commercial buildings; the south brings newer subdivisions and first-time window treatments.

Deck Staining & Sealing for Lake County homesPlanning notes
Lake-effect snow and rain fall heaviest on the land east and south of Lake Michigan, so exterior projects across the county are booked for the dry months and interior work fills the winter. Lake County runs on Central Time, and we schedule visits in your local time.
Many houses in the northern cities were built before 1978. Before any older paint is scraped, ask how it will be contained and cleaned up; we plan for it on every older house we take on.
