Actually, that's not dark brown stain. I took the photos on a cloudy, rainy day.

Here are some taken when it's dry. There's some residual stain, but for the most part, it's pretty dirty and weathered.

Would power wash be okay, or does it require stripping/brightening?

Thank you for your consideration.

What's left of the old stain looks to be semi-transparent. I'd like to go with semi-solid. I'm not big on the woodgrain look.

I'd like the old and new woods to look rather uniform. What do we need to do to accomplish this? I'm in Raleigh, NC.

Thanks.
