"It was super windy the day he stained our deck & it was difficult to keep the stain going where it needed to be & therefore, there were a few spots that were missed. Also, there were 4-5 screws that were holding down the winter blanket that should have been removed & the deck stained. These were not removed & so Edward has agreed to come back next week to complete the project to my satisfaction. Since it was guaranteed for a year I feel quite confident that he will keep his word. Thank You."

"I hired Wendy to paint a water damaged bedroom ceiling and decided just to have the entire room painted. She did a fantastic job and knew exactly what had to be done to cover the stains. I was so pleased with her work that I showed her a list of things that I had long put off. She did the following. She tore out an old sink and cabinet in my basement and installed a new modern sink and cabinet. She completely painted my basement laundry room (black exposed ceiling, white walls, gray floor), turning it into a welcoming room instead of the dungeon that it was. She tore out a huge workbench in my storage room and installed metal shelving to organize all my storage totes. She replaced two ceiling fans, installed a Ring camera outside, mounted a 55" TV on my wall and covered the cords, mounted a 42" TV in my basement rec room, painted my half-bath, family room, and kitchen, replaced two can lights, and assembled a storage cabinet in my laundry room. She also patched a wall. I'm sure I'm forgetting things, because she did SO MUCH. I will be calling Wendy to help organize my garage with shelving and to add accent lighting to my flower garden. She is amazing."

FAQs for painting projects in Lancaster, OH

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.
