"Donin and Dorian did a wonderful painting job! Everything--floors, carpets, furniture, etc.--was covered completely during the process, and the finished product was lovely. One would never know that there had ever been damage to the ceilings from Hurricane Florence. DLA Painting is the best. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Drew of Driftwood Painting did an absolutely fantastic job painting the interior of my townhouse. He moved and put back all furniture so we didn’t have to, and my house was very clean when he was done. There was nothing for us to do but put things back on the walls and enjoy our beautifully freshly painted walls. He also pressure washed the outside and did a fantastic job. Our home feels and looks brand new again."

"Steve of Lock-N-Load is fabulous! From the appointment he made to provide an estimate for painting the interior of my house to the day he finished, Steve was a consummate professional. He arrived on time, was a pleasure to have in my home, and most importantly, he did a beautiful job! As soon as he started doing the prep work, I knew without any reservation, I would be happy with the outcome. If you have a painting project, make Steve your first and only call!"

"Travis is very talented and takes so much pride in his work! He and Kyle did an amazing job painting. We practically had our whole house inside painted by then, and it looks like a different home. Travis took the time to make our walls and ceilings perfect before painting them. We are so pleased, and we highly recommend. We plan on using him for future projects in our home"

"Rosa and her crew put a preservative on our fence. They did an absolutely stellar job. We?ve even had people come over to look at it and they?re so impressed at the work that was done. She does not skimp on materials and she uses the best because she?s working to preserve her excellent reputation. This is a quality organization run by wonderful individuals."

"James and his family cut away old drywall and installed new drywall after we had water damage. He was meticulous with his work, took his time and is reasonably priced. He answered my many questions and did a fantastic job. He also fixed a large square cut that water restoration made in my wall to check interior walls and fixed a corner wall from ground to ceiling that had an indented line from settling, instead of replacing. Drywall and mudding job was done quite well! Thank you!!"

"We utilized Luis and his crew to replace 14 windows. Luis is local and prompt to meet to discuss the project. He recommended a supply house for the windows that were priced better and the same if not better on quality and warranty. Luis supervised the whole job. His crew were not only professional and detailed on the installation but kept the job site clean. The new windows required modifying the interior molding but this was discussed ahead of time as a possibility. There was an increase in the initial price because of this but it wasn’t a surprise upsell. They did the job in 2 days and the quality of the work inside and out was properly done. I would recommend Luis Jimenez construction for consideration for any of your projects."

FAQs for painting projects in Holly Ridge, 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.
