"We bought a house whose maintenance had been neglected over the years. The smell inside the house was bad and we knew that the whole inside of the house would need to be repainted. The original painter we hired backed out at the last minute and we needed to find a reputable painter immediately. Turned to Home Advisor and found several that were listed. Looked at reviews and decided to contact Bill Searle Painting. We are so glad that we did! Bill and his crew came in on short notice and repainted the whole inside of the house, including the doors! The bad smell was almost gone (completely gone after floors were redone). The paint job they did was absolutely fantastic and we cannot say enough about how great of a job they did. We also hired them to power wash the outside of the house and to stain the front deck of the house. Their work is outstanding! They impressed our son and his family enough to hire them to paint the inside of their home. We will have some other projects to do next year and we plan to contact Bill and have him come back to do the work. Do not hesitate to contact Bill if you need any painting or staining work that needs to be done!"

"We hired Eric from Ray's Painting. Oh, my word, he was completely thorough, very polite, and couldn't have done a better job. He even reworked two areas that didn't satisfy him. Our house looks like the siding and trim was just installed. I would recommend him to anyone."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Your tool of choice ultimately comes down to personal preference. Many DIYers prefer applying stain with a lint-free rag, but others stick with a paint brush or a roller. Wipe the stain and work it into the wood, working with and against the grain. If you’re applying multiple coats, allow the stain to dry for around four hours between coats.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Whether to brush or roll stain on wood depends on the project and your preference. Brushing is ideal for smaller, intricate areas and offers more control over the application, ensuring thorough coverage and penetration into the wood's grain. 

Conversely, rolling is efficient for more extensive, flat surfaces and can save time. However, it is not always the best fit for textured or uneven wood. Some projects may benefit from combining both methods, using a brush for detail work and a roller for broader areas. Ultimately, the choice between brushing and rolling depends on the specific requirements of your staining project.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.

Choose based on climate, finish preference (glossy, matte), and durability. Tailored coatings also provide longevity.
