"Keith was punctual and professional. Detailed quote was given and after choosing Painter1,, a start date was set. Kyra and her crew David, Mike and Josh arrived to tackle project. After pressure washing, some scraping and minor repairs, the team painted outside of home and stained our deck. I would highly recommend this talented team. Kyra was lead on the crew and her vision to detail is unmatched. Overall Outstanding Experience!!"

"This is a family business. Daniel and his two sons do the work. They are clearly experienced, work steadily, and do a great job. Besides painting, they also removed wall paper, replaced damaged drywall, and repaired crown molding. This is the second time we have hired them and we are very pleased. Price was much better than these "chain" businesses. We will hire them again."

"They are professional and prompt, accurate in their estimate and priced very reasonably. When unsure they ask, they are responsive to feedback and immediately fix anything mentioned. Pleasant to deal with and so respectful! They have now painted our bathrooms, main living rooms and our back deck posts that needed staining. They can handle a variety of painting tasks including removing wallpaper, putting down stain/smell blocker, painting trim and ceiling coffers and brought their own scaffolding. They were great to do additional coats when needed (like taking color to white) and were easy to get a hold of. They cleaned up after and put everything back where they found it. I will be hiring them again when Iâ m ready to paint my basement. I highly recommend this company!"

"Harrison (owner) is an open, honest, and hard working fellow who is intent on delivering the highest quality product. He had several difficult areas to paint and he was able to deliver a quality job in every situation. I had never had a professional painter before and was concerned about cleanliness as well as quality. This fellow delivered over and above on both counts. I was especially pleased with the way he took the time to make the necessary cosmetic adjustments to the ceiling and floor trim to ensure they provided the "pop" that his excellent paint job deserved. I took his advice when deciding on color and couldn't be happier. He never treated me with anything but respect and was never condescending - something, as a Senior, I've seen too much of. He delivered over and above what he promised and I would use him again and highly recommend him."

"Samuel and his team go above and beyond to deliver great service, product and experience. They're very skilled painters and very diligent in their work paying attention to detail. They chose high quality products and made sure I was able to get the color I liked after a few iterations. I am very happy with the end results of the job. My all brown cabin now looks updated and polished and very upscale after their job is done. I will post more photos after the renovation is complete. I am very happy with the team and will be working with them more."

FAQs for painting projects in Knoxville, TN

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.
