"The paint job was large. It took a crew of four painters five days to complete. The painters were professional and friendly. The job was done correctly and the painters were conscientious about the quality of their work. It took a bit longer to schedule than I had hoped but given the circumstances (COVID-19), that was not surprising to me. All in all, I had an excellent experience with B & M Painting and I highly recommend this company."

"Guaranteed Renovations is will give you a prompt and professional experience! They are extremely knowledgeable, honest and pleasant to work with. We have a metal roof that is only 4 years old that had paint peeling off everywhere. They instantly recognized that primer had not been applied and that the wrong paint for metal was used. Job well done. Highly recommend these guys!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Im very impressed with them and have already hired them for a second job and will definitely be working with them more. He came out and did a full walk-through of my house where I showed him each of the projects I need to get done, spent lots of time looking at everything and getting an idea of exactly what I wanted done. I got the best quote from these guys for a roof by longshot, and the roof is perfect. He communicates every step of the way, gets in there and gets the work done efficiently and does not leave you hanging about whats going on and when. Above and beyond all the other handymen Ive had out since I bought the house! Im having them do everything from here forward."

FAQs for painting projects in Harpers Ferry, WV

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.
