I'm having my 1989 cedar house re-stained a solid color. The painter powerwashed it first, to remove old stain. I expressed concern over this after I saw a couple of gouges in the wood and saw a few (smallish) holes that weren't there before, some of which he explained away saying It was wood filler. It looks like some of the wood is shredded. He said that the power wash was what was needed to get rid of the old stuff. Then he power washed a second day to see what else could come off! I was concerned about the water and the wood. I asked why wasn't it going to get scraped, sanded and spot primed. He said no primer with stain and that they would scrape and sand where needed. But now the wood looks worse in spots and I'm not sure he's going to think some of it is needed. Now, he just told me that he was going to buy the stain and start tomorrow, which will only be a day and a half drying time in 60 degree weather. So he plans on doing the scraping, sanding and some staining in the same day. Am I crazy in thinking this isn't right? He's licensed, was recommended and doesn't take any money until he's done. Sorry so long.
