"Parker came to my home and performed an entire remodel of my babies nursery and did an amazing job at ripping the old carpet up, laying a protective barrier down, and then laying the new LVP flooring! He installed crown molding around the baseboards and it looks amazing! So pleased with the work and customer service!"

"Alex was a true PROFESSIONAL. Very knowledgeable and I highly recommend to you his services. True story, I hired Alex to do 1 job. I had another issue to occur 48 hours later. I called him up directly, he was at my mom's house within 30 minutes and the job was completed about 45 minutes later. When I tell you that this guy is that good, I have hired him to be my mom's personal handyman for all projects around her house. This is your go to guy, really looking forward to complete the projects that we have planned. Thanks Akex!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Dothan, AL

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.
