Re-staining Previously Finished Doors

i'd like any ideas on better ways of re-staining to darken newly finished stain grade doors, pricing ideas would be helpful as well.

I cannot stress enough that technique is everything when it comes to achieving a professional result.

So many things can go wrong.

if you know what you are doing, you could charge by time and material. Time being what you think your worth. As for the door its hard to say the best way to re-stain it without knowing in detail what your up against....sorry.
