The difference between these two is that stain seeps deep into the wood while paint does not. For exterior jobs, using a stain will result in the product fading over time rather than peeling. When the exterior of a house is peeling that means that a latex paint was used. Using a latex paint is not bad: all that means is that the product is masking the house, sealing it from the elements, rather than seeping into the wood. For interior, the only time you would use stain is to give your trim a natural wood finish look. This technique can be complicated and tricky if not done right, because this would generally be done with an oil stain.

Before even taking out a paint brush or sander we take all objects off of the walls and bring all the furniture into the middle of the room. Once this is done, all furniture is covered in clean plastic to protect it from dust, paint, and other particles. Finally, the entire work floor area is covered in a canvass drop cloth to prevent any spillage onto the floor or carpeting.
