seymore 90 Report post Posted November 15, 2013 Here is why you don't wait 11 yrs to re stain your deck. They let time get away from them before calling me out to clean and re stain their deck. It was pressure washed then used a light 12 % mix then rinsed no brightener was used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 seymore 90 Report post Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks David..:cool: It all depends oh how the deck looks once I use my cleaning mix. If there are certain stains from trees or metal patio furniture sometimes will leave rust stains. When I re stain and don't use a stripper I usually don't brighten but If I'm not happy how the wood looks then I'll brighten. You should always brighten after stripping tho.

We like to make 100 an hour is that feasible doin decks? Well it all depends on your cost IE:stain,labor supplies etc. You want to be fair but not price yourself out the ball park if you can make between 40-50% after your cost you should be good. Older jobs tend to soak up a lot more stain than newer ones so don't be afraid to charge more for older jobs. What stain are you using now for your fences?
