"Quick, high quality work! Previously, I used Dunaway in 2021 to complete repairs to fix a leak. These repairs were completed on time and with such a high quality that an inspector later commented on how well the repairs were performed. In April of 2024, I needed several repairs completed quickly and a new roof to close on a home. Dunaway completed all of the repairs including a new roof, trim repairs and replacement, gutter replacement, and exterior door replacement (along with painting repairs) very quickly. The repairs were excellent. Throughout the process, they were excellent at communicating with me, answering questions, showing me work and issues, and completing everything I needed to close on time by working sunup to sundown. The owner and his wife along with all of their employees are friendly and respectful; they were great about cleaning up and leaving the site looking acceptable for my neighbors and HOA each day during the progress and at the end of the job. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to everyone."

FAQs for painting projects in Bessemer, AL

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.
