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. |

ditto on Sikkens Cetol. I live in New England and finished an all-PT deck
with solid white stain for ballusters and redwood for rails and deck. Snow sits on this all winter long on the North side of the house. In 5+ years, I've never done more than clean the white and have powerwashed and restained the deck floor once---and it easily could have waited (just liked that "new" look). Usually good paint store carry it. (Benjamin Moore in Mass.) B. "h2" wrote in message ...
