Hello everyone,
Currently, the eaves and the roofing over our terrace (both made of wood) are being renewed for the first time on our house (built around 2000). The wood was completely sanded and then coated twice with a thin-layer wood stain.
Since the terrace roofing covers a larger area, the stain was sprayed on there instead of being applied with a brush or roller. The result: everywhere the brush or roller was used, the finish looks very good, but in the areas where it was sprayed (only on the terrace), the appearance is not good. The surface looks very blotchy, with some spots lighter and others darker than the rest. Additionally, there are several thinner streaks visible (like liquid has gathered and run down with the slope).
I would like to hear your opinions on this:
* What do you generally think about the approach described above (spraying compared to brush/roller)?
* Would you accept this from a professional?
* Could fresh stain be sanded off easily? Potential problem areas might be the joints (which are partly darker than the rest and might be difficult to sand). Are there any other alternatives?
I would appreciate any helpful advice, thanks!
Best regards,
Peter

Were trainees responsible for this? 😳
The facade is completely ruined!
Both are substandard! Do you mean the roof overhang is substandard because of the paint quality or because it damaged the facade? The facade will be completely repainted.
What do you think would be the options to repair the terrace area?

What would be your options to improve the terrace area? Regarding the painted facade. Okay, if the entire house is being done, it’s manageable or fixable. I was already surprised that you didn’t complain about it. The paint job is not entirely even, but maybe it was like that before and it’s just showing through now.
But have they prepared/cleaned the facade properly before repainting, or are they painting over the “dirt”? Full preparation (roof overhang/facade), then painting from top to bottom…
Are there any pictures from before the new paint was applied?
Yes, the façade has been prepared and cleaned.

Terrace after 2 coats of paint:
To our eyes, it looks good everywhere except in the "interior" area of the terrace (first image above). Exactly where the surfaces were spray-painted instead of brushed or rolled.
Do you think sanding would improve this overall or possibly make it worse?
