restore a 7-year gray ipe deck to its original dark brown

Is $3,000 to restore a 7-year gray ipe deck to its original dark brown a fair price?

Project Details

The homeowner has an unmaintained, heavily grayed Ipe deck that hasn’t been touched in 6-7 years. Due to a bad lower back, they are looking for a 'stand-up only' DIY restoration plan to avoid the $3,000 professional quote.

Quote Details

Professional restoration of an unmaintained Ipe deck including: - Cleaning and stripping of grayed wood fibers - Application of brightening agents - Sanding and preparation - Application of Ipe-specific oil finish
