"Zack and the guys with Premier Painting are excellent. Professionals who take care of their clients and are experts at their work. They have painted all of the dark wood trim in our home to a bright, glossy perfect white, caulked, painted walls, ceilings and installed all new lighting. We couldn't be happier and I will never have to look for another painter! Highly recommend!!!"

"Paul was great. Quality was unreal. Painted my 30 year old cabinets and they look unreal. He did the job in the time he said he would. He had great ideas also on what i should do with a cabinet i am adding and how is should be painted and installed. I had a party two days after he was done and people went crazy on how great the cabinets looked. Hire Paul you cant go wrong."

"I recently hired B.I.C. for deck repair, staining, and to clean the siding of our home. The results exceeded my expectations. The owner, was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail from start to finish. He repaired a rotted post and a weak board under a step, and made the entire deck look beautiful again. The staining work was outstanding. The finish was high quality, and he took the time to properly prep and clean everything before starting. His communication was excellent throughout the project. The deck now looks beautiful, feels safer, and has completely transformed our outdoor space. I highly recommend B.I.C. to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and professional deck repair and staining services. I will certainly hirer this company for future painting projects."

FAQs for painting projects in Cottleville, MO

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.
