"We have been upgrading our home for a couple of years and the kitchen cabinets was the last thing on the list. After pricing out new cabinets, we decided to look at another alterative. Home Advisor gave us a few names of contractors who refinish cabinets. We choose Be Frank Painting and very pleased with our decision. Chris and his crew were professional, on time and completed the job within a week. Our kitchen looks fabulous with the freshly painted cabinets. Painted cabinets instead of stained wood is the way to go. I strongly recommend Be Frank Painting for anyone that is looking for a painter."

"Excellent work and the painters took the time to tape all areas and not leave paint splatters. They also made sure which areas were to be painted which color. There was extra paint on the truck of the white paint I ran out of, so I didnâ t have to go to the store when the supply I had purchased ran out. So helpful! Professional and respectful team, arrived on time and polite!"

"This was a great experience. I cannot say enough good things about this team. They were responsive, prompt, thorough, meticulous, and very detailed. They were more interested in getting the job done perfectly instead of hurry through it. This is clearly craftmanship in the painting space. I hope to have them back for some internal work next year. Highly recommend."

"I give this company 5 stars. I had my dining room and living room Ceiling painted. They prepped the room so no paint would get on the walls or the floor. And thanks to Kerlyn,for Sticking to the original estimate after I had changed my mind on the color of paint at the last minute. All of it looks good. They also had repaired my moulding, and painted it at no cost."

FAQs for painting projects in Longboat Key, FL

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.
