Got a call today to fix a homeowner goof. Evidently the deck was washed and then sealed with Penofin (goof 1). Looks fair, but I believe theres some mildew entrapped under the stain - spotty(goof 2), and there is a good amount of fur on the spindles and a little on the floor(goof 3). Does this deck require a complete strip & reseal? Is there any way to remove the furring from the spindles or will time do the trick? Can I do a light sanding and then a thin coat of seal over it? This is a friend, so I want to go the least expensive route. I will definitely get the next maintenance job for this guy, so I want to impress on him that I know my stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
