"Jesus and his team take projects seriously. They communicate details well, treat your home with care, and perform a meticulous and professional job. They complete your project to your satisfaction and everything will be clean when the job is completed. I found Jesus and his team to be hard-working and they take pride in their work.

"Yes, AJ’s Quality Painting was everything we wanted. They came in and did the work. My brothers and I are very pleased. Once the quote was given and we agreed Afias and Josephina went straight to work. The paint job, ceiling and the wall he had to repair in one of the bedroom’s was beautifully done. They are very professional and kept constant communication with me about when they were going to the house and when they would be done. We did a walk through and our parents home is so bright and beautiful with the paint we chose. We had a family friend to come over and she really loved the color and work. She plans on using the color for her home during the Spring. I will most definitely recommend AJ’s Quality Painting to anyone who needs home services. Thank you both for the work done."

"Could not have had a better experience... Showed up early everyday and worked non stop. Fixed all wall issues and sanded them down before painting. I had my realtor visiting while he was painting and she stopped and asked for his card because he did such a nice job. Do yourself a favor, hire Diaz Painting!"

"Kelvin and his team did an excellent job. They were on time, efficient, diligent, clean and ended the job by painting and gutter cleaning all in one day. Job included Front door Fluted Fascia repair and install, new crawl space door and siding repair and replacement with painting, gutter cleaning. The company name doesnâ t do them justice - they can do more than paint!"

"Evetter, Pfafftown, NC Miguel Rios, from Rios Drywall, did an outstanding job in repairing and remodeling my bathroom. He removed wallpaper popcorn ceiling, painted the entire bathroom, replaced rotten wood, laid vinyl flooring, replaced toilet, vanity lights. He also painted my front porch and did other small touch-ups in the house. He was on time, courteous, knowledgeable, etc. His price was reasonable. I am excited about having Miguel complete other home improvements projects. I found his slogan, No job too Small or too Big to be very true."

FAQs for painting projects in Elon, NC

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.
