"Contractor provided a free estimate. He scheduled the work and started on time. Contractor scraped old paint, caulked and replaced rotted wood before painting. Contractor also replaced screens on back porch. Contractor showed up on time, answered all questions happily and left area sparking clean each day before leaving. The painting job was fantastic. I am very pleased and would enthusiastically recommend this company."

"Jose and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were very professional and finished the job in 3 days (7 rooms and 2 hallways), walls, ceilings and trim. They made sure the job was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Advancepro for any painting job."

"I hired Bright Colors to paint the exterior trim of my 54 year old house. I hired them after the first company I contacted never provided an estimate. The second company quoted me double what Bright Colors quoted. I never give perfect scores to any company I review, but if I did, it would be for Bright Colors. After a slightly rocky start to beginning the work due to weather related issues, Nelson and his crew showed up and completed the job in 3 days. Every small issue and item I had mentioned in our initial estimation was attended to plus a few that came up during the work. I have other work that we discussed and I will not hesitate to contact BC when the budget allows. A FIRST RATE job and EXPERIENCE!!"

"I recently moved into a new home and the kitchen was outdated. My budget doesn't yet allow for what I "really" want (a complete renovation), but I decided having the cabinets painted would be a nice way to freshen it up, until I can afford to do a complete reno. The cabinets weren't in bad shape, but they were a medium stain and just kind of "Blah." I wanted something brighter, so I hired Manna to paint all of my cabinets white (I went with "Simply White" by Benjamin Moore). Even with my paint color selection, Herbert was great with making recommendations, sharing things I should consider, etc. In the end, the work was turned around quickly and . . . looks fabulous! I was so impressed with the work, I plan to hire him again for some other projects. I can confidently recommend Manna Painting and Renovation -- and, as a Realtor, I will also be sharing his contact info with my clients and friends."

FAQs for painting projects in Damascus, MD

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.
