Thanks Charles. I guess I really blew it in my initital mtg. w/ these folks! Now I'll just have to figure out how to put build my proposal AFTER assuring (in our initial discussion) that, with the right seal, the deck should look good after a year. Whooops! Hmmmm. Maybe I should build into the quote a 1 year guarantee, fully expecting that I will need to do a "free" maintenace cleaning/re-seal a year from now... Not the way I like to do business, but after telling them that they will be OK in a year, not sure what my other options are... Its going to look a bit fuzzy to these folks after my initial consulatation... Guess I have nothing to lose. Just build into the price next years maintenance.
