"Yes, AJ’s Quality Painting was everything we wanted. They came in and did the work. My brothers and I are very pleased. Once the quote was given and we agreed Afias and Josephina went straight to work. The paint job, ceiling and the wall he had to repair in one of the bedroom’s was beautifully done. They are very professional and kept constant communication with me about when they were going to the house and when they would be done. We did a walk through and our parents home is so bright and beautiful with the paint we chose. We had a family friend to come over and she really loved the color and work. She plans on using the color for her home during the Spring. I will most definitely recommend AJ’s Quality Painting to anyone who needs home services. Thank you both for the work done."

"Mr. Diaz was quick to respond and give us a (Quite reasonable) quote. He was also able to start work within a week or so which was not a requirement but it was a bonus. We have a split level that is 2/3 brick so we needed the second story, all the eves, and trim scraped and painted. We had already purchased the paint so his price to us was strictly for labor. He did an amazing job on our old house. It had last been painted 17 years ago. He pressure washed, scraped, sanded, and caulked before painting. He arrived early and worked hard all day in the heat. He did such a great job that we hired him again to paint our wood shed to match. He cleaned up his mess and left the area clean and neat. We are very pleased and highly recommend him."

"Visions to Reality gives you their professional recommendations on a painting project before starting. There is no aversion to using a brand of paint the customer prefers. (such as Benjamin Moore Paints) Quality is provided , they are true craftsmen at their skill. The work area is orderly, and they clean up afterwards. They have proven to me scaffolding is not always necessary in a 2-story space. I am happy to recommend these painters!"

FAQs for painting projects in Kernersville, 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.
