"I had The Atlanta Painting Company paint our kitchen cabinets. We could not be more pleased. Their professionalism was top notch and the quality of their work was phenomenal. My wife said it feels like an entirely different room. I would highly recommend Atlanta Painting to anyone that has a painting need!"

"Elaran Painting (Alberto and crew) gave me a fair price, but most importantly, they showed up when they said they would show up. They did the work that they said they would do and they did it in a most professional manner. I am very pleased with the quality of their work and they used top quality Sherwin Williams stain. Our cabin was extremely weathered and they carefully caulked and prepared the the siding to receive the stain. Great job! They were careful not to over-spray or to get stain in unwanted areas. I would hire them again without reservation."

"I had previously hired Mar Painting to paint the entire exterior of my house. A very large job, and I was very pleased with it. So I hired them again to paint a porch made of brick with six columns also made of brick, as well as paint the concrete deck. I can tell you the magnificent job they did the first time around on my house was not a fluke. Bert and his people came out and very professionally did their work, cleaned up and departed. Everything they did is just wonderful to look at. I cannot more strongly recommend them to anyone who needs a paint job. Large or small."

"Billy runs a great operation. He was responsive to my request for a quote and was right on time at our first meeting. He was knowledgeable and helpful when selecting paint finishes and provided an accurate estimate. He was able to accommodate our job expediently. I cannot say enough good things about Jason, Chris and James who handled my job. They were clean, polite and very neat while working in the house. They showed up on time every day and worked hard to complete the job on schedule. Afterwards, I felt like I had a brand new home! Iâ ve already contacted Billy for my next project!"

"Jonathan showed up on time and went right to work with prepping the walls for painting. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The interior of my home was painted in a professional manner. They finished on time and replaced all items to their original places. They cleaned up and left the home just as the found it. I would use them again for additional jobs around my place. Very satisfied."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Shows up for appointments, and scheduled service on time! Caulked, sealed and stained entire cabin, added new rails to lower deck, and replaced rails on front porch. Started work about 0830 every morning and until 630pm, five days straight. High quality work, very professional and friendly staff. Owner Elias on site most days also working, and came back on Saturday morning for follow-up/QA. I WOULD RECOMMEND at the highest level! Trustworthy and punctual, which quite frankly, is hard to get in Ellijay! Use this company, they are great! I was recommended by my real estate agent, then was given two reference that called. I made the right choice!"

FAQs for painting projects in East Ellijay, 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.
