"Alberto’s team was great. They pressure washed the house. Stained the house and painted the deck. Also, they pressure washed the driveway, repaired the chimney, and replaced some of the railroad ties. They cleaned up very well. Very professional. They did much more than the “exterior painting” option category below."

"Mar Painting Group is the best contractor we’ve had in the two decades we’ve lived in Highland Forest. The attention to detail was amazing. The men showed up early and worked 10 to 12 hour days. They painted our home so efficiently that it looks as if we have a completely new house. We have had the house painted four other times and never had such a professionsl job. The price was reasonable too. If you want the best and most efficient painting work, call Mar. You will be glad you did."

"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."

FAQs for painting projects in 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.
