"Dustin is awesome. He finished the project timely, even thought I asked him to paint extra rooms in the same day he was scheduled to finish. He gave me great advice on the paint options and matching baseboards. I'm very happy with the result. I highly recommend!"

"I am very happy with the look of the finished project. When I bought this home, I thought the tub was simply dirty when in reality the finish was completely gone and so was stained. I also didn't like the color of the tiles surrounding the tub. After we did a lot of the prep work, i.e removing the faucets, caulking and glass enclosure, Bob came in and did his thing. He needed to come back to address a few issues, i.e. paint runs, but did so and they look much better. One thing I would recommend to anyone thinking about resurfacing - the paint smell is really terrible! I didn't think I would be able to sleep in my house that night (it was November mind you and cold!) If you have a trip planned or somewhere else to stay for a day or two, it's something to consider. I'll be curious to see how this holds up over time, but Bob does warrant his work for 5 years as long as something the owner does hasn't caused the surface to fail."

FAQs for painting projects in Adams, NE

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.

Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.

Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.

You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.

Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.

Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
