4-Day Interior Staircase Repaint and Stain in Freeport, ME with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee

This interior staircase repaint and stain in Freeport, ME was completed by CYR Painting Service for a residential home that needed its staircase surfaces refreshed. The project combined interior painting with wood staining to create a clean contrast between the painted and stained sections of the staircase.

The designated painted surfaces received Benjamin Moore ADVANCE Waterborne Interior Alkyd Satin in Swiss Coffee OC-45. This satin coating was selected for the painted staircase areas, while the designated wood surfaces received an interior stain.

The full interior painting and staining project took four days to complete. By combining a warm white paint color with stained wood surfaces, the finished staircase now has clearer definition between its painted and natural wood sections.

This residential project focused on repainting and staining an interior staircase in Freeport, ME. Staircases are used every day, and their painted and stained surfaces can begin to look worn or uneven over time.

The project called for two different finishing methods. The designated painted sections were updated in Swiss Coffee OC-45, while the exposed wood sections received stain. Using both finishes allowed the staircase to keep the look of natural wood while refreshing the areas meant to have a painted finish.

Benjamin Moore ADVANCE Satin was used on the painted surfaces. Swiss Coffee is a warm white that created a softer contrast against the stained wood than a bright, sharp white would have provided.

Because the project included both painting and staining, the work needed to move through each section in an organized order. The painted and stained areas had to remain separate so each finish could create the intended appearance.

The finished interior staircase repaint and stain gave this Freeport, ME home a cleaner and more consistent staircase finish. The painted sections now feature Swiss Coffee OC-45, while the stained areas provide contrast through the visible wood finish.

Using paint and stain together helped separate the different parts of the staircase without covering every surface in one color. The painted areas have a warm white satin finish, while the stained areas retain the look of wood.

The satin finish on the painted sections gives the staircase a light sheen that helps define the surfaces. Swiss Coffee also provides a softer white tone that pairs well with the stained wood sections.

The stained surfaces add depth to the finished design and prevent the staircase from looking flat or one-dimensional. The contrast between the two finishes helps each section remain visible while still feeling connected to the overall staircase.

The project was completed in four days. At the end of the work, the staircase had refreshed painted surfaces, renewed stained sections, and a clear balance between the warm white paint and wood finish.
