"From initial walk around with Jesus to final walk around with Naaman, complete professionalism applied most amicably. The paint job is magnificent and the price was, too."

"HERC was absolutely top knotch. Everything was exceptional. Surfaces were properly prepped and primed and then painted with two coats to ensure superior results. The contractor maintained excellent communication, asking for homeowner's input whenever there was a question on how to proceed. The job was for an entire house consisting of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a family room, and a stairwell. Doors, baseboards, ceilings, walls, and trim were all painted to perfection. I'd hire HERC again in a heartbeat!"

"We hired A&R to remove six of our overgrown and neglected trees. They walked our yard and pointed out current issues as well as potential. The quote was more than fair and work was quality. Professional company would definitely recommend."

"Marcus was awesome! Very trustworthy and always does quality work. We had seen some total transformation renovations he has done on other properties. So when we were renovating our home, we brought him in on several projects. He painted interior walls & trim. He also helped remove a wall between our kitchen and living room, did plumbing, lighting, garage shelving, door & window installation, floor tile, hung beadboard on a wall and ceiling & helped build a huge deck. One thing great about Marcus is he is extremely creative and has a keen design eye. He always had great ideas throughout our remodel. Finally, Marcus is a problem solver. When we weren't sure how we could get something to work or what to do, Marcus can always figure out a way. On top of he came up with several ideas to make working on a project more efficient saving time and money. We highly recommend Harris Renovations!"

FAQs for painting projects in Alma, AR

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.
