hi all, was wondering what i should pay to have a finish put on an 18 x 18
deck and rails??? i've heart from 250 to 400.

any info appreciated

What kind of material? What kind of finish? I'd buy a can of Penofin Oil
for some woods (mahogany, Ipe, cypress) or Cetol Dek stain for others
(pressure treated) and do it myself. for $70 or so. I just did my 12 x 16
deck with 3 gallons of solid stain, but that is both the top and the
underside.
