"Ernesto's Painting, Drywall and Construction did interior painting for me which began as covering a 14 foot ceiling and evolved to painting the living room walls, hallway and ceiling and the kitchen ceiling. Ernesto's prices are very competitive and the quality of the work is impeccable. Ernesto and his crew arrived on time and throughout the day long effort were professional, polite and friendly. Ernesto checked with with to confirm color and process as the work proceeded. Many contractors leave dirt and debris and a general mess. These guys found the broom and dustpan and swept up the floor! I strongly recommend Ernesto's Painting, Drywall and Construction for work on your home. He can be found on Angi (formerly Angie;s List)."

"Frank handled all communications directly with me, which I very much prefer when having work done on my house while I'm away at work.  I called him in the afternoon on Tuesday, and he met me at my home in Alma during my lunch hour on Wednesday.  On Thursday they did all of the pressure washing of my back yard deck and the concrete around my inground swimming pool, and on Friday they had finished staining the deck by the time I arrived home at 3p.m. 

The quality of work is FANTASTIC, and the price is AMAZING.  I am extremely happy.

I will definitely be using Vision Painting in the future and recommend them to anyone in need of this type of work."

"From initial walk around with Jesus to final walk around with Naaman, complete professionalism applied most amicably. The paint job is magnificent and the price was, too."

"HERC was absolutely top knotch. Everything was exceptional. Surfaces were properly prepped and primed and then painted with two coats to ensure superior results. The contractor maintained excellent communication, asking for homeowner's input whenever there was a question on how to proceed. The job was for an entire house consisting of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a family room, and a stairwell. Doors, baseboards, ceilings, walls, and trim were all painted to perfection. I'd hire HERC again in a heartbeat!"

"I have used J &P Construction and Painting for 3 projects. I previously used them to paint a bathroom, and for several texture repair jobs. Most recently, I used them to spray paint the ceiling in living room, dining room, kitchen, and hallway, and to paint the walls in the same basic area. They are very well-versed in all aspects of painting. They are a very congenial group of men who exude courtesy, integrity, competence, expertise, and a desire to please. They deal well with pets if you are a pet parent. If you hire them, you will not be sorry. You will only be sorry you didn't meet these guys sooner."

FAQs for painting projects in Gentry, AR

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.
