"Sebastian and his crew checked all the boxes and were the best we have experienced in the 44 years we have lived in this house. Very pleasant, professional and responsive. We could not have been more pleased and know they will be the first we will call for further painting needs."

"We used Fresh Touch Custom Painting to remove popcorn ceiling, paint 5 rooms (including trim, doors, & ceilings), power wash the outside of our house, and stain our back deck. We are extremely happy with the final product. We appreciate Brian and his team’s attention to detail, and wiliness to work with us/answer questions due to us having an older home which requires a bit more TLC due to plaster walls, and our paint color choices. We went with Fresh Touch Custom Paining because they offer an array of services when other companies told us we would have to contract out some aspects of what we wanted done, for example removing the popcorn ceiling. We will definitely we using Brian and his team at Fresh Touch Custom Painting for future painting and home updating needs."

"I hired Prim Painting to paint the interior of my house - 3 rooms in total. This was not an easy job, as the colors being covered were very bold. The team sent to complete the job did it all in 1 day, and did a fantastic job! We are very satisfied with their work. The gentleman who acted as the lead of the team was very kind and helpful. I highly recommend considering Prim Painting for your painting needs. I would give more than 5 stars if I could."

"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Columbus, OH

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.
