"I can’t believe there is still a contractor like George and NEM Home remodeling !!!! After working with so many over the years and always being disappointed we were blessed to find NEM. They repaired ceilings that had never been done right, retaped and plastered textured. Repaired walls that had not been taped right from the beginning and painted ceiling, walls, doors and trim. George and his crew were professional, diligent, on time and did an excellent big project. He made sure we were 100% satisfied. Thanks George!"

They did a fantastic job andI highly recommend them for any of you future projects. Thanks Benny Steve and TJ."

"Greg is such a kind-hearted, sweet and honest man. He did an amazing job setting the tile in my bathroom. I was struggling to do it myself because of the tiles, couldn’t get a straight cut, but Greg came in and got it done! Took him a few hours and I’m so grateful. The room looks amazing. I still need to grout but overall amazing job! I enjoyed his company as he’s very easy to talk to and had me laughing. I will absolutely use him again. Thank you, Greg!"

FAQs for painting projects in Altoona, FL

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.
