Stained Deck (Sections Look Like Crap)
Hi,
We hired a local company to bleach and stain our decks for an investment property. Our tenants reside there. They bleached the deck a week before they stained the decks. It took them 3 days to stain the decks bc we have a lot of deck space. Day 3 of staining happened last Saturday. They wrapped up (around 2:30/3pm, started at 8:30am knowing of potential thunderstorms, took pics of the deck when they left, and it poured (weather forecast predicted thunderstorms) that evening around 7:30pm. Our tenants took pictures on Sunday and Monday (see attached photos of how the deck looks post drying. They applied two coats bc the wood is dry and it's a semi-opaque stainer. When they applied the two coats, they did both coats back to back since we didn't pay a premium for their work.
What do you recommend we should do?
Thanks!
