"Kara and Kevin did a great job. They arrived on time and laid out a plan in advance of completion. Each day, our home was left in very good order. They painted my kitchen cabinets and they are just beautiful. They also brought suggestions that we had not thought about. Great experience, beautifully painted interior."

"Excellent work, communication and pricing. Michael is very knowledgable, answered all questions, had great prices, and was always on time. We ask about staining painted beams in our home and he told us he hadn t done exactly what we wanted, but would research and try. He also gave us other ideas. Everything turned out beautiful and he done very timely. Highly recommend this business"

"I loved working with J&S Painting. They are nice, efficient, communicative, and overall great workers. They made painting the interior of our entire home easy, and even patched holes we had in the drywall, which was huge for us. They did an amazing job with paint work, trim, and ceilings. Thank you all so much!"

"Chris and his team were great. I had them paint our master bedroom including all of the trim work and doors. We have a huge safe in our room and they moved it along with all the other furniture and made sure everything was covered before they started painting. They were finished a day earlier than I originally expected and everything turned out great!!"

"They forgot to call before showing up to do the job, but that wasn't a big deal because I was home. They worked quickly and efficiently, and we even asked them to do some other jobs (power wash the house and clean the gutters) which they also did. My only negative is that when they took the old deck apart, they left the old screws in the sidewalk where it was holding the old wheelchair ramp to it, so we will need to try to get them out, and when they power washed part of the old deck that wasn't getting replaced, it destroyed some of the wood and they re-stained it like we asked but it looks pretty rough. My wife said she would probably call them to see if they would re-stain that part. Otherwise, the new decks, the house, and the gutters look nice."

FAQs for painting projects in Buckner, KY

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.
