"My wife and I hired Duff Painting Company to paint the exterior of our two-story cedar house in Webster Groves. The house had been previously painted by a different company 10 years ago, but the sun exposed sides started to crack and peel several years ago, perhaps prematurely. Mike Duff, the owner, was a joy to work with. Shortly after being contacted, he came to our house for purposes of discussing our needs and to formulate a bid which was emailed just a few days later. I also received bids from three other companies. I went with Mike because I got the sense that his small company would provide a superior level of skill, attention to detail and craftsmanship compared to the others (and I was right about that), and because his bid was more reasonable than the others for the same work. We made a great choice. Mike’s team of long-term experienced employees showed up on time every day, and were very pleasant, professional, hard-working, and competent. They did an excellent job scrapping, prepping and priming the many rough patches unlike the previous two painting companies we had used. They skillfully taped all the windows. They used a combination of a sprayer and hand rollers to apply the 2 coats. They cleaned up after themselves every day such that you would not have known they were there, and made sure to leave their equipment overnight on different parts of the grass each day so as not to kill it during the week it took to finish the job. It was obvious the team did not believe in cutting corners or rushing the job. The team leader was very good at explaining the process, and he went the extra mile to take care of some additional painting requests I made on the spot which were not part of the original contract. I greatly appreciated the flexibility. Also unlike the prior painting companies, they had a porta potty temporarily installed so the workers would not disturb us during the day. And best of all, the house looks great! The job was finished toward the end of May 2024. When it comes time to paint the house again, Duff Painting Company will get the job. Dave Davis June 2024"

"Paul is easy to work with, detailed, and takes great pride in customer satisfaction. Although he primarily painted our kitchen cabinets and installed some new ones, he also painted two rooms and ceilings. He is an excellent painter! Projects are never an "exact science", but Paul is flexible and the end result meets or exceeds expectations. Highly recommend."

FAQs for painting projects in Ballwin, MO

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.
