"Clee is very responsive, professional and friendly. The crew showed up on time and were professional while in our homes. Price was a little higher than other companies but we picked quality and professionalism over our budget. I was really hesitant on having the cabinets painted, they were an antique washed color which made the kitchen feel dark and we had the cabinets painted a white creamy color which brightened the kitchen and the paint job was so well done that you’d never think they were painted."

"My wife and I are very happy with the quality and service we received from Painter 1 Fayetteville. The painters arrived as scheduled, were very professional and ensured that at the end of each day everything was cleaned up and put away. The owner, Cristiam Oviedo, and the painters kept us informed as to the painting progress on a daily basis. An exceptional paint job completed by an outstanding paint crew. I recommend this company if you are looking to have your home painted."

Customers say: True professional

"These guys were super nice, honest, reliable and hard-working. They showed up when they said they would and worked late every night till the job was done. I had a very small window where I could paint the interior of my house before furniture was delivered, and they made me feel like a #1 priority. Very clean and professional. Would recommend to anyone."

"I love my freshly painted kitchen cabinets, bedroom and drop zone cubby. Jay and Gary are top notch professionals. Communication was great from start to finish. Very fair price, showed up as planned and was respectful of our home and our schedule. I have future painting in mind and will definitely use Whiley's Painting again."

Painting questions, answered by experts

Generally, these steps are included in exterior house painting:

  • Prepping and protecting the areas not being painted

  • Scraping away loose paint

  • Cleaning off dirt, grease, and debris

  • Caulking gaps and openings

  • Priming with a quality paint primer

  • Painting the prepared areas, including trim and accents with chosen paint finish

  • Adding a second coat

  • Cleaning up the site and disposing of tape, plastic, and drop cloths

Opt for an interior wood stain that is rated for your type of wood. Consider your personal style preferences as well as the overall use of the room when choosing a color. Remember, the color you see at the store may look different on your actual floors once applied. This is why if you have the chance, it’s helpful to test a few options on a scrap piece of wood in the room first. Once you narrow it down, you can test a small patch on an inconspicuous area in the room to see it on the actual floors.

You can apply stain over peeling stain, but it’s not a good idea. Your old stain will get in the way of your new stain bonding to the wood, so you’re likely going to see the same issue again shortly after application. Your best option is to sand off the old stain and clean the surface thoroughly before applying new stain.

Wood stains last anywhere from two to five years, depending on exposure to the elements, your local climate, the type of stain, and the surface it’s on. For instance, vertical surfaces last longer than horizontal surfaces. Some types of woods, like dense hardwoods, will require a recoat yearly, as they are too dense for the stain to absorb. In any event, apply a recoat every 2 to 4 years. As for storage, a can of unopened stain can last up to 5 years, though results may vary.

Applying a sealer or topcoat after staining wood is highly recommended, though not always strictly required. A sealer protects the wood from moisture, UV rays, and weather-related issues, which is especially important for outdoor surfaces like decks and fences. It also enhances the stain's durability, prevents fading over time, and gives the wood a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. For some indoor applications, a sealer may not be necessary, depending on the type of stain used and the level of protection needed. It's always best to check the stain manufacturer's recommendations and consider the wood's intended use and exposure when deciding whether to apply a sealer.
