"I highly recommend Morales painting. Joel and his crew take pride in their work. I had a 23 year old log home pressure washed down to the wood. Joel then caulked every crack and carpenter bee hole that weâ re in the logs. He then applied two heavy coats of stain on my home and three decks. Then painted all the window and door trim. Plus my garage doors. He was very responsive and prompt from the first time I called him until they finished the job. Donâ t hesitate to give them a call if youâ re needing work done!!"

"Miguel and his helper had to resand l part of my deck because I had the wrong paint put on it. Then he pressure washed it and painted my 60 foot covered deck as well as my covered front porch deck! They did a great job and did it in stages so I could get my dogs out! He is very reliable and very good. My deck looks great and I am very pleased with him and his work! He also pressure washed my concrete parking pad and back patio pavers! I would highly recommend him for any job that you may need!"

"I hired John the beginning of this fall for a clean up and to cut down some branches from a tree in my backyard that was hanging on the roof that could fall any minute with a storm. John did an excellent job with it executing the project and making sure my house did not get a scratch. Now heâ s doing maintenance on my lawn by blowing leaves and trimming my bushes. Looks amazing for the holidays coming up. I definitely recommend."

Customers say: Quick response

"We needed a pro to refinish our 100 year old hardwoods. Across the entire house the old floors were stained 3 different colors and we needed them to be lightened and matched. Jose was able to finish the job in about 3 1/2 days and the results are magnificent. This is the best the floors have looked in nearly a century! Pricing was reasonable and Jose's team was very professional. I will definitely hire him again to do the remaining 3 rooms still under renovation once we're ready. Awesome job!"

FAQs for painting projects in Clarkesville, GA

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.
