"Diego gave helpful advice on a whole house painting(including tin roof and decking). He and his crew spent significant time pressure washing and preparing all surfaces for paint and stain. They came promptly as the weather permitted. He and his crew were meticulous and expert in their painting. They left no mess behind on any day of work. It was fun to see the progress and we feel like we have a new home and deck and are thrilled with it. It was a pleasure to work with Diego and his crew."

"These guys were super nice, honest, reliable and hard-working. They showed up when they said they would and worked late every night till the job was done. I had a very small window where I could paint the interior of my house before furniture was delivered, and they made me feel like a #1 priority. Very clean and professional. Would recommend to anyone."

"There was a misunderstanding on the days to begin the job because Lonnie arrived a day early. Lonnie arrived the next day on time with all the equipment for painting except the paint. He is professional and friendly. I purchased the red paint for my doors. I am happy with the result. I would recommend J Edwards Construction to anyone needing a professional painter."

"I have just retired from the military after 23 years and I'm used to calling-in a work order to have repairs made :) However, I moved back into a vacant home with my children which needed a lot of work. I was a little rushed as we were living in a hotel for 3 weeks and the hurricane caused many delays with electricity. I made my selection based on previous reviews. Here's a break down of pros/cons: Pros: - Very personable - Showed-up when scheduled - Kept me updated with progress/status - Loaned fans until air condition could be repaired - Gave a reference for plumbing repair (same day service) Cons: - Pricing: Not transparent, no breakdown of cost for materials /labor. Requested receipt weeks after work was completed/still vague. - Electrical/Roof repairs: fixes did not resolved issues - Floor Installation: gaps between walls in one room, can see sub-floor along wall/ in closet. Nicks throughout house on baseboards. One vent would not fit, had to make multiple request to get resolved. The floor needed trim due to gaps throughout the house from the carpet. Overall big improvement from old carpet. - Paint: Overall nice job, I had to remove paint chips in bathroom/kitchen and minor splatter on kitchen tile. I requested a quote for additional work I needed (new deck, repairs to doors & enclosed screened porch); while repairs were ongoing and never received an official quote. This was a great learning experience; I have gained more knowledge on what to discuss upfront. I'm looking forward to working with another contractor for remaining upgrades!"

FAQs for painting projects in Goldsboro, NC

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.
