Can you stain over a peeling stain?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is repainting part of the repair process for plaster surfaces?

• <div><p>Many services include repainting to match the existing surface. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Can you touch up a newly painted ceiling?

• <div><p>Yes, you can touch up a newly painted ceiling, but it's not a common occurrence. If you need to touch up new ceiling paint, be sure to use the original paint. You should only use a small amount of paint and, for a small area, use a small paint roller or paintbrush. You can also use a Q-tip or a toothpick to fix very small blemishes on the paint.</p></div>

Q: How long do exterior paint fumes last?

• <div><p>Exterior paints contain more volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, making them dangerous when used indoors. Without the free ventilation of the great outdoors, it can take longer for the fumes to dissipate than interior paint. While you may notice the smell lessening more quickly, you should be wary of paint fumes inside for 48 to 72 hours after it dries.</p></div>

Q: How many colors should be in a whole-house color scheme?

• <div><p>A whole-house color palette often has between five and seven colors. Those include the trim color that appears throughout your home, a foundation color for your main living areas, secondary colors for each bedroom, and accent colors, which are close to your foundation or secondary colors. Smaller homes under 1,000 square feet may just have four or five colors, while larger homes can have ten or more and still look cohesive.</p></div>

I appreciated the thorough prep work including power washing, priming and making some minor repairs where wood had gone bad. The crew gave attention to details - Mike even did some special painting to make the decorative molding on the peak of the house “pop”.
