"So pleased we chose Painting Innovations for our interior project. David, Brad, and crew were exceptional -- excellent communication & scheduling follow through; meticulous prep & workmanship; attention to detail top-notch; immaculate clean-up upon completion. We also appreciated their guidance and advice regarding paint & stain colors and sheen. The job was completed ahead of schedule, and David wouldn't accept payment until after our satisfaction was ensured following a final walk-through. Highly recommend. We look forward to working with them again on future projects."

"You get what you pay for and that is a lot! This the second home of ours that we have hired Greg Baker to paint. From the prep, tape, covering, carefully moving furniture, to the power washing, sanding, caulking, and the meticulous eye of Greg and his crew...its an amazing experience. Every night when they are finished painting, they are careful to be sure to clean up any trash, to blow off surfaces and restore the area to the way they found it. They are all hard workers and only stop to eat lunch. The work ethic is unmatched and the result is a paint job that we love and will last for years to come. Thank you Greg and crew!"

Customers say: True professional

"We have hired David and his crew twice. They painted our upstairs bedrooms including the ceilings and we were so pleased we hired them again to paint our dark paneling in our great room as well as our bar and a half bath. They did a great job and are so professional. David helped me pick out paint colors and made helpful suggestions. Everything looks so beautiful and we couldn’t be more pleased. We plan to hire them again in the future."

"we had an excellent experience with LVX painting from the consultation to actual completion of the work. Our project was 5 rooms, several different colors and even some last minute adds of a bookcase and our master mirror. Everything turned out wonderful and we have had numerous compliments on the work that was completed!"

FAQs for painting projects in Kansas City, MO

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.
