Description of Work: Joel was our general contractor for building our home.

Description of Work: We hired Steve based on the recommendation of neighbors. He was to clean and stain our decks and stairs. One deck was only 2 years old, solid cedar. The other deck was quite old, pressure treated fir. It and the attached stairs had been oiled but never stained. He also repaired the landing and stairs which had begun to separate from each other. The carpentry work was just fine. He asked what product we would like to use on the decks. We have a cedar house and are quite particular about what product is used on our wood. I gave him a can of Pratt and Lambert Penetrating Oil Rustic Stain and asked that this product be used on this project. Imagine our surprise when I saw looked at a days work to discover that our decks looked as if they'd been painted with orange paint. Instead he had chosen to use Behr Solid Color Waterproofing Wood Stain and our decks look awful. They should every stain from bird droppings to pecan shells and leaves. The new cedar deck is not identifiable.
