"One of the upstairs bathrooms required substantial work that took several days, due to damage done by months of excessive humidity from a poorly functioning exhaust fan. What started as a mess on the walls and the ceiling turned into a fresh-looking bathroom. Jamie discovered a bad surprise when he stripped the wallpaper in our downstairs bathroom. The drywall was badly scarred, but he was able to restore it so it looked smooth and ultimately was paintable. We are very pleased with his work, and that of his helper, Christopher. We will use A Brush of Class for all of our painting needs in the future!"

"I had Buckey House Painting paint my shutters, front door and porch posts this past week from obtaining a quote to the finished project things went very easy. The men who came to paint were friendly, polite and professional. The foreman reviewed the project with me prior to painting. My porch and lawn were left clean. I highly recommend this company. I will use the for my next painting project."

"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

"Hired to paint all the walls of Home interior, Overall great experience. Only negative is that both times I had an appointment to meet someone at the house they were ~15 min late. Estimate was quick and fully explained, scheduling was quick and easy and the quality of the work was very good. Would hire again"

FAQs for painting projects in Galena, OH

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.
