"I'm glad I found OS Painting. They are a really proffessional and a hard working crew. They work long hours and work very fast so that it doesn't disrupt our daily lives in our home. Their price is very reasonable and their quality is excellent!! If they find other small fixes that need repairing around the house while painting, they'll do it without any additional charges. My family loves the interior and exterior painting that they have completed--it feels like we just moved into a new home. I definitely reccommend anyone who needs a painting job to OS Painting!"

I am very impressed with how good my newly painted house looks and will definitely do business with Painting Time again."

"Harrison and his crew exceeded my expectations! They extensively prepped our house including covering all surfaces that should not be painted, and caulking all the seams before painting. I was nervous about getting the exterior of our home painted, but was so pleased with the final result! Harrison made sure the job was completed smoothly and quickly. Thanks for a job well done!"

"Jeff and his wife Marlena did a wonderful job painting the interior and exterior of our home. Overall experience was great ... they were both easy to get along with, polite, punctual, very neat/tidy, and constantly communicated updates to keep us appraised of progress and estimated completion time. Work quality was very good, and they even got more done than they anticipated in the timeframe we had available. I would highly recommend Jeff for any type of painting work."

"EZ Painting is a top-notched professional services company. They provided consultation, painting, electrical work, and went to stores to pickup critical items. They provided quality work, on-time schedules at a reasonable cost. They cleaned up their workspace which was very impressive. I received 4 quotes for painting. However we were sold when Erik provided a rendition of what our home looked like after painting. I will definitely recommend Erik and the EZ Painting team to my family, friends, and neighbors! Awesome work!!"

"I was redoing my mom’s home and didn’t have the budget to gut the kitchen. I decided I wanted to paint the cabinets but knew it was above my pay grade. My handy man recommended Ross and he was AWESOME! He totally transformed the kitchen! He used high quality primer and paint. His prepping the space was great. Often time crews skimp on this step. Not Ross. There was NOT a spot of paint anywhere on my floors, counters or back splash. It’s been over a year and the cabinets look as good as the day he painted them. Plan on having him back for my exterior eventually. A+++"

FAQs for painting projects in Austin, TX

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.
