"Mark did an outstanding job. The house is beautiful. He is an artist when it comes to painting. Very precise. He worked around the holidays at our request. My wife hurt her back and had to have surgery in the midst of house being painted. Mark was very understanding and worked around that as well even painting our bedroom and bath last due to her being bed ridden for a couple days due to surgery. We highly recommend Mark and will be our painter of choice in the future future."

"I had previously hired Mar Painting to paint the entire exterior of my house. A very large job, and I was very pleased with it. So I hired them again to paint a porch made of brick with six columns also made of brick, as well as paint the concrete deck. I can tell you the magnificent job they did the first time around on my house was not a fluke. Bert and his people came out and very professionally did their work, cleaned up and departed. Everything they did is just wonderful to look at. I cannot more strongly recommend them to anyone who needs a paint job. Large or small."

"The project involved an extensive amount of interior trim in my den. For example, there are four double hung twelve pane windows and a large bookshelve with cabinets underneath that are tedious to paint. Scott and his son were neat, responsive and timely. The room looks fantastic. I plan to hire them whenever I need additional rooms painted given their expertise. I would definitely recommend them."

"We hired Carlos at CJM Multiservice to add drywall after some demo work, and we couldnâ t be happier with the results! The new drywall is absolutely seamless and expertly done. In addition, he painted two rooms in our historic Victorian home, which has intricate trim details. The paint job came out beautifullyâ his attention to detail was incredible. Carlosâ s flexibility with his work schedule and excellent communication made the whole process stress-free. The job was completed in a timely manner, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Weâ re thrilled with the outcome and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Highly recommend!"

"Very well. I was skeptical at first but Mr Miller put me at ease by sending his information and was very transparent. He said he would be at the location at a specific time, and was. Mr. Miller did a great job staining and keeping me informed of his progress through sending pictures and calling me. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will be using him again for my future projects."

FAQs for painting projects in Chattanooga, TN

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.
