"We recently used Fame Interiors for painting the exterior trim on the house and interior painting of our family room. Fame did an excellent job on both the interior and exterior work. Ali, the owner of the company, was a pleasure working with him. He didn't cut corners. We were planning on replacing our overhead garage doors, but the paint and putty job that he did on the doors no longer required replacing them. In short, his price and the quality of his work makes him our "go to" painter."

"Contractor provided a free estimate. He scheduled the work and started on time. Contractor scraped old paint, caulked and replaced rotted wood before painting. Contractor also replaced screens on back porch. Contractor showed up on time, answered all questions happily and left area sparking clean each day before leaving. The painting job was fantastic. I am very pleased and would enthusiastically recommend this company."

"Very courteous and professional. Did a wonderful job. Make sure you impress exactly what type of paint you want. We wound up with satin and we wanted semi-gloss. Also, make sure you remove all of your painting fixtures and electronic mounts ahead of time. They will be thrown away."

"It went fabulously. They filled the holes where the old pulls were and you can't tell at all. The cabinets look wonderful. The walls were patched and fixed before painting. And the guys cleaned up everything really well, kept everything clean throughout the process and at the end cleaned up like it was a new house."

FAQs for painting projects in Germantown, MD

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.
