"Sherman Painting arrive on time for the quotation process and again they arrived on time to do the job. They were meticulous and paid attention to detail when staining my deck with brushes. The product that I chose and purchased was used without any complaint or attempt to upsell. I would recommend Sherman Painting to anyone looking to have a deck stained."

"Excellently, from start to finish. He made a quick quote which was 60% lower than another contractor, correctly estimated how long it would take him, did a good job, and wound up within his estimate. He also fixed some items that he found needing repair or painting for no extra cost. I was impressed with his diligence."

"The Mar Painting Group did a wonderful job painting the exterior of the house! The price was comparable to other professional painters, and they were very detailed in their work - pressure washing, replacing rotten wood, filling in gaps and cracks, and painting siding, fascia, trim, foundation, and the bottom of the gutters. The paint job itself looked exceptional when it was finished - only a few places where the trim around the windows wasn't a perfectly straight line, but I'm pretty picky. And even though I found some places that needed a bit of touch up when I looked at the finished product, they were more than willing to do what was requested. The owner was a very down to earth guy who seemed honest and genuinely wanted to do a good job. The only complaints I have are that they didn't move everything back up to the house that they moved originally to paint it (I forgot to point that out before they left), and they left a pile of the rotten wood they removed. If I had brought these things up, I imagine they would have come back and dealt with that, but I figured I would just deal with it because it wouldn't take too long."

"Mike and his team were AMAZING. I was in a pinch and needed help painting a few walls in my office as a rebranding of our space. Mike set us up for success and his team was courteous, respectful, and the job was completed in record time. I would recommend the Chattanooga branch of CertaPro for everyone. I can't say enough about the professionalism and impeccable work that this team has provided. Thanks again for a wonderful experience."

"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!"

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.
