"I wouldn't use them again because - I mean, in the end they did a fine job but that's because at the end when they said they were done, I walked around with them and I pointed out things that weren't ... like there were some areas that they didn't caulk and then there was a place where I could tell there was only one coat and there should've been two.  So I felt kind of like ... I mean I really had to look everything over and I'd rather just have somebody who just does a straight up good job, you know?  I was thinking I'm not sure that I'm even like finding everything that somebody who really knows about painting and caulking would catch.  Not that it's really complicated, but still, because some of it was outside.  I was thinking, did you caulk above the windows or ... but where I saw that the caulk was left undone was easy for me to see and it was interior and everything. But I can't give a bad review because I can't say oh, something wasn't done because I don't know for sure.  I would've felt better if I had walked around and didn't have anything to say. "

FAQs for painting projects in Banner Elk, NC

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.
