deck cleaning/sealing

With spring coming up, it looks like time to clean and seal the deck behind the house. Can't decide if I should just rent a powerwasher and do it myself, or if it pays to bring someone in.
Anyone have any recommendations on DIY vs contracting, and if I contract, than who?

Lead Paint

Does anyone have experience eliminating or containing lead paint within a brownstone?

We recently discovered that the levels in our home were too high.

Are there any solutions to resolving the presence of lead without completely stripping all of the moldings and doors?

Thanks.

Backyard fences

Does anyone have any recommendations for a fencing company? They would have to take down the existing one as well, since it is beyond repair.

Landmark Windows app

Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes to get a Certificate of Appropriateness for installing new wood windows in a landmark area? Does that kind of application ever have to go to public hearing or is it pretty standard?
Thanks
