"Justin did a real 5 star job. He was friendly, responsible, fair, and very easy to work with. He first pressure wash the entire house. Then he took tremendous care to tape over all windows and areas that were not to be painted. He covered all my plants so they wouldn’t be hurt. He was very neat with no over spray on any unwanted areas. After he started I asked him to do some extra work and he did it for a very fair price. If you want a responsible, fair, and professional company to paint the outside of your house, this is it. I recommend Justin 1000%."

"Glenn is an excellent painter with many years of experience. He finished a not so fun project that involved interior doors, trim and wall painting on my 1960’s home with plaster walls. Glenn is trustworthy, detailed, but quick and efficient. Job was completed while I was at work so saved me a lot of time."

"Roland and his team did a fantastic job, they hit the trifecta: 5 star quality, 5 star service and 5 star value. Roland gave us great advice that helped us pick the best quality paint. His team was also very professional and went above and beyond by touching up a few spots on the ceiling from a prior paint job (we just bought the house). Roland also completed the job ½ ahead of schedule."

"I contacted company after seeing truck in my area and speaking with the homeowner who recommended them highly. Jen set up an appointment for Mike to come take a view and give me an estimate. He asked questions about my likes and dislikes, and made suggestions. I liked his approach. Next, Jen came by and we went over the color scheme. She is quite knowledgeable and has a good taste for colors. Mike's crew showed up on time and completely prepared. They did a beautiful job on painting my house and cleaning up after themselves. I couldn't recommend them more highly."

FAQs for painting projects in Fort Walton Beach, FL

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.
