"Mike from Abbyart did the interior painting for an 1100 sq ft condo (primer and 2 coats of painting), painted my oak kitchen cabinets white and completed backsplash tiling for the kitchen. Mike was also was kind enough to install my kitchen appliances for me (the store told me installation was included but the delivery people did not install anything). Mike took on extra work and was willing to do this without charging me. He is kind and very detail-oriented. He would not say the job was finished, until he was satisfied that everything was done correctly."

"Spiros Painting did a great job. They responded to my inquiry the next day and came out to my house on a Saturday and give me a quote. They completed the job the following week in about half a day. They were clean, replaced some rotted wood, caulked seams, sanded, removed the shutters from the house to paint them and rehung them and removed fixtures to paint and put them back. In the past, I hired painters that weren't nearly as professional and the results were poor. Spiros Painting was very reasonably priced and did a fantastic job. I will definitely hire them again."

"C& Painting is a family owned business and is outstanding. They stained the siding of our redwood house, painted all of the windows on the outside and stain the top and bottom of a large raised deck. They were always on time with a smile and a happy demeanor all day long. The preparation for staining and painting was done with particular care to use the best products that were compatible with the various stains and paints and was meticulously done paying attention to every detail. By the way, none of the windows were painted shut. Five stars is not enough to describe this very special painting company. The owner and his wife are very talented and the job was fairly priced. I would not hesitate to use them again for any painting job."

"Below is the information I sent to the production team today (Tuesday November 3, 2020) and the salesman. It sums up how things went. Greetings Andrew, Sam, As we close out this process, I want to go on record with my concerns regarding the work done, as I have had the opportunity to inspect everywhere that was painted. Here are all the things observed that will be noted in my review. 1. Painter painted back and side splashes of vanities in bathroom on first floor. Even after doing touch up, he removed the paint, and then instead of putting painters tape on the vanity, he repainted the walls in the bathroom, put white caulk on the vanity when I originally had clear caulking, and repainted it. I even wrote in spanish what needed to be done, and provided it to the painter and it was still done incorrectly. I am extremely disappointed about this as now I have to incur additional costs to have the paint removed, the walls repainted, and the clear caulking put around the vanity. This is most annoying as it is the bathroom guests use when they enter my townhome. 2. There is paint in many unexpected places. The painters took the wall plates off the socket receptacles and light switches, which makes perfect sense. But why did they paint the actual receptacles and some of the switches. I indicated to Sam I was replacing the wall plates, not the actual receptacles. Now I will have to replace them as well. There is paint on many cords, not clear why they did not just unplug them, particularly the lights. I left them in so they could see. There is paint on the inside of one of the hand railings on the stairway which suggests sloppiness. The painters did not put painter's tape around the railing. There is paint on the curtain rod hooks affixed to the wall. I can see painting nails, but the curtain rods? There is paint on my wooden doors, and on windows. 3. Despite indicating in an email to Andrew, and telling the woman who called me on Wednesday October 28, 2020 that I was not available until after 3pm on Thursday October 29th , the painter showed up to do the touch ups at 8:30am on Thursday, right before my video meeting. He indicated that he was not informed by you of the time he should come. That was unprofessional. The painter ended up coming back the next day (Friday) to do the touch ups. 4. The painter had considerable difficulty taking down the blinds in the kitchen, because they had put them up incorrectly when they originally did the painting. In fact, the painter wanted to just paint around the blinds. I told him no. Not only did the painters put the blinds up incorrectly, but they also did not wait until the paint dried before putting it up, which messed up the work. Also, because the blinds were not put back up correctly, one of the strings popped resulting in the blinds not laying properly now."

"The S&J team was a pleasure to work with- from the first engagement to preparation to painting to cleanup. We have a 1960 rancher that needed several wall and ceiling repairs and full paint- they were very careful to prepare all the furniture and wood floors. The painting team were courteous and very effective- great to work with. The ceiling, walls and trim look wonderful - like a new home. We will be using S&J Painting on our next job."

FAQs for painting projects in Hanover, 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.
