Hey folks, Chuck Worley here with another episode of the 757 House Whisperer Show! This week, we tackled some of the biggest home issues homeowners face—focusing on remodels, painting, and home maintenance to keep your property in top shape.

We dove into the world of interior and exterior painting, discussing drywall repair, sealing, and new construction painting prep. Ever wondered about the difference between PVA primer, oil-based primer, and shellac-based primer? We covered that, plus why brands like Sherwin Williams make a difference when it comes to durability and VOC levels.

Deck maintenance and staining were also on the agenda—should you go with paint or stain? We broke down oil-based stains vs. water-soluble stains, how to extend the life of your deck with Decadock stain, and the benefits of soft washing before refinishing. Plus, we talked about carpenter bees and how they can damage unprotected wood surfaces.

If you're working on interior design, we explored how paint color affects mood (yes, those color mood charts actually matter!) and why stained trim and trim enamel paint can transform a space. We even touched on soda blasting as a method for surface prep.

Beyond aesthetics, we looked at humidity control, mold and mildew prevention, and how smart tech like Yo Link temperature monitoring can help maintain a healthier home.

Shoutout to the pros making it happen: Jack Keller from Legacy Painting, Michael Davenport from CVP Windows and Doors, Cindy Rowell from Alpha Pest Solutions, and Albin Ronstrom, owner and founder of Albin Company!
