Excellent advice, definitely will do that. I should have thought of that, but that is why I ask. Thanks

Thanks for the info John.

The customer will be going with another solid stain for that very reason. With the lattice being as thin as it is, will there still be a good amount of residual stain after stripping? (I know it's all different, but from your experience)

Thanks

Thanks for the info Rod. After speaking with the customer and explaining the condition of the deck, it looks like I will be stripping, brightening, and applying a new stain. The lattice work should be the fun part. The customer understands, and has agreed pay up. Win/win for both of us. Thanks again.

Decks are not my specialty, the ones I have taken on, I have stripped and started fresh. This is the first one i have been asked to do with a solid stain, and using the same stain again. I am just looking for some friendly professional advice, and if I don't have to strip the entire thing, it would be great. The deck includes a gazebo, hot tub enclosure, benches, storage box, and a good amount of lattice!! Thanks again.

Hey Rod, it currently has a solid stain, and the customer wants to use the same stain again. So my question is: Do I just need to do a good wash and rinse (precarb or bleach?), let it dry, and then apply the stain? Or do a strip of the current stain and start fresh? I really appreciate any advice.

I will upload pics if needed, just can't figure it out from the phone.

Thanks

To anyone willing, I need some advice. I was asked to bid on a fairly large deck. The customer wants to re stain it with the same solid color. If you can be of assistance please email me at arexteriorcleaning@yahoo.com and I will respond with pictures and measurements. I have restored some decks, but nothing of this size. Thanks to all who are willing.
