We have a house that has been painted dark brown with wood stain.
We would like to repaint the house to make it a much light color. Can we
paint over the stain? If so, what kind of preparation is necessary? What
about peeling?--will it be a problem? Any problem with going, to say, a
creamy beige color?
TIA

No problem painting over the satin. Clean the surface. Use a good primer.
Apply full acrylic paint. Be sure to back-roll if you spray.

or

use a solid color stain

Most stains are oil-based, and penetrate the wood. You shouldn't have any
problems painting over it. I'd try a small patch of paint on an unobtrusive
area first, just to test the compatibility of the paint you chose.

No problems at all, pressure wash the siding, sand and scrape any loose stain,
prime with a good exterior long oil primer tinted to the color of your finish
coat, (add a 1/2 pint to a pint of Flood's Penetrol to penetrate thru the old
stain and grip the wood) Topcoat with a good exterior paint, and enjoy!

This is excellent advice. In this day and age of 100% acrylic coatings, the
usual recommended primer is and acrylic latex exterior primer. There are
exceptions to the rule however. T1-11 primed with a long oil primer, mixed with
Penetrol is an excellent example. I have personally seen the difference in life
span this combination makes possible.

Since the T-111 is stained a dark color, why not use a bonding primer
(exterior) as your first coat. It will be cheaper than premium finish
paints and ease your anxieties about future peeling.
