Hello guys !
I decided to get into cleaning and sealing decks last fall,so all winter i have been learning and reading all the 'Just Wood' posts and most of them twice.So finally the day has come,my first serious wood job.I feel prepeared and pretty good about it,but still have lots of questions to ask.So please help me out.
The deck is just 210 sq.ft but off the groung with 16 feet long steps.It also has rails.They told me they sealed it themselves 1,5 years ago with Thomsons sealer.It was grey looking all but the rails.I told them i will have to strip it.Am i correct.???
I wish i didnt have to,that would make it alot easier.How would it look if i just washed it and sealed it.Reason for it,they just want to make it look better before they sell the house,so i dint try to sell them ReadY seal,they dont care how long its gonna last.They just want me to use the same cheap sealer.
Would the BEHR QUIK-FIX strip it?
They also have a fence ,thats has been sealed with the same stuff,had some mold ,ok shape,do i have to strip the fence finish too?
Please help me out guys,i will probably have more questions later.
Thanks ,Johny
