Have you spoken with the contractor that did this job yet? What does your contract say? Did you pay him already? I have always put half down and pay the remaining half after the job has been done and I am satisfied with it.
Since I am on a Nook and not a desktop, the picture quality is not the best. From what I can tell, you are correct, it does look spotty. Chances are they did not apply enough stain, but it also it does depend on how well the surface was prepared before the stain was applied. Pressure washing may not have been enough. See if this helps.

Hopefully your contractor will stand behind his work and make it right.
I'd talk to the contractor -- has he seen it? think you could make him fix ...
Thank you, all. The contractor did the work and said it turned out great. We prefer to take on the corrective actions.
hope this helps
