Was quoted a price of $250 for this work. Questions: 1) Is this a type of maintenance that I should be conducting yearly? (Or is this something that I could do less frequently)? 2) If I go forward with this work, does the price sound reasonable? (I’m in a patio villa with a very short driveway, and a long, narrow, enclosed birdcage on the side of my home).

Thanks for your replies, always helpful.
Did your original contractor give you a warranty on the staining that requires periodic cleaning and resealing?

I got a 10-year warranty for peeling, chipping and fading but requires cleaning and resealing every two years.

Every year seems excessive to me.
