Default Water stained ceiling

I would expect the poster is talking about a stained wood ceiling.
Otherwise, what's the point to a wood ceiling? In which case, IDK
if you can refinish just one section. It depends on how badly
it's stained, for how long, etc. If the leak was brief and the damage
minimal, I'd say the chances are probably pretty good. If it's been
leaking for 5 years and it's all black, I'd say not so good. If it's
possible, might be able to just refinish the one section, but put a
coat of urethane over the whole thing.

It is a stained wood. The damage area is large
But it is in sections. I dont think we can do this
Ourselves. What do you suggest? Im completely
Puzzled about the whole thing

Thank
