"From the initial estimate to completion of the painting job, Ronnie was responsive and dependable. His estimate for the work was very reasonable. He called the day before he planned to start to let me know his team would arrive at 7:30 a.m., which they did; and they immediately got to work. Ronnie had to travel to several paint stores to get a particular stain that we needed for the job, and he handled that well -- not annoyed or flustered by the inconvenience. He also replaced some damaged shingles and moved a set of exterior shutters to an upper window. The team was neat and organized and worked together like a well-oiled machine. He asked me to inspect the work when he finished and told me to call him if I found any problems and he would return to fix them. I haven't found any problems at all. I would definitely hire Ronnie again - for either interior or exterior work. I highly recommend him."

"Rosa and her crew put a preservative on our fence. They did an absolutely stellar job. We?ve even had people come over to look at it and they?re so impressed at the work that was done. She does not skimp on materials and she uses the best because she?s working to preserve her excellent reputation. This is a quality organization run by wonderful individuals."

"I have never had anyone come in my home and do the job that they did. They didn't stop until they finished where others have come in left for a week come back. I've even had people that took a year on a three week job so when I saw what they had done, I told all my neighbors. This is the best company I ever worked with. They are so clean as so neat and their work is beautiful. I wish I had known them in the past."

"Moved to Myrtle Beach from out of state and needed the whole inside of my house painted. Had 3 estimates and I have really high ceilings. 1 company wouldn't do it because of that. Joel came in very professional and also recommended a great quality paint for us. When we came back in the house was totally clean and the job was incredible. His crew were also very polite. We would highly recommend them and will be having them paint our exterior of the house in the coming year."

FAQs for painting projects in Calabash, 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.
