"The exterior of my home was very weathered and in sad shape. Mr. Stidham had much more to do than just paint my home. This is the first repair, painting and updating of my 2,400 sq ft home in 45 yrs. My insurance company had requested that I paint my home by the end of the year in order to renew my policy. He soft washed and painted my home 3x. He replaced 5 4’x8’ panels, 15 trim boards., caulked all the trim band large gaps that had developed over the years. He replaced 9 panels on the Florida room. He changed the soffits and rusty black security bars to white, which helped to refresh the overall appearance of the house and made it look well cared for. Mr Stidham did the whole job by himself. He said it would take 3 weeks and worked 7 days a week to stay on track with his busy schedule. He stuck to his quote even with added and he also didn’t have any markups on extra materials. He used Ben Moores top of the line Aura paint. I highly recommend Mr. Stidham for my home upkeep."

"Sam and his crew came to help me after the previous painter made a mess of the job and got white paint all over my red brick walls and porch. They did an excellent job of cleaning up someone else's mess. Then set to work and did the job right. They are friendly, courteous, always on time, meticulous and efficient. They quote was fair and I would definitely be keeping him in my contact list as my preferred paint contractor. Thank you guys for a excellent job."

"Our job involved painting the exterior of our house. We were not satisfied with the work performed by our previous painters. Cornelius was happy to allow us to visit a house that his crew was painting, and seeing the way his team worked helped us decide to employ him as our painter. Cornelius met with us before beginning the job to address our specific concerns and to outline how the work would be done. The crew arrived promptly at 8 AM and worked carefully and efficiently throughout the day. Contrary to our experience with previous painters, once they started our job, the Corspaint crew continued until it was finished. Including pressure washing and surface preparations, the job required 4 days, just as outlined in the proposal. The crew worked as a team, discussing the best approach to solve problems encountered with our house. The members of the crew were both professional and pleasant to have around the house. We are happy with the quality of their work and their attention to detail. Many of our neighbors have complimented us on the appearance of our house. We are happy to recommend Corspaint, and we will contact them for our next painting needs."

"You just don't get service like this anymore. First, they stayed in constant communication through Angie. All questions were quickly and thoroughly answered. They were able to get us in on our schedule and arrived on time every day. They covered everything to prevent paint from getting on the wood floors and carpets. They did walls, ceiling, trim and doors at a reasonable price. The work was very professionally done. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend this company."

FAQs for painting projects in Gainesville, 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.
