"The painters were very polite and hard working. Kip Kirk came over to our home and gave us an estimate on Wednesday and had his painters paint our two bathrooms and tub room on Thursday. The workers did not take a break the entire time they worked on our bathrooms. We are planning to paint the fireplace and brick in our family room sometime this summer. We plan to call Kip Kirk to do the work. We are very pleased with the completed paint job and would recommend this company to others. Pat and Chuck Brumfield"

"Mark and his team did a wonderful job. The work on our house was extensive. Mark planned it out with his team and they were on time and worked hard. The job included kitchen and bathroom remodels, sanding and staining hardwoods, painting the entire house. Mark has an "eye" for this kind of work. He can help with interior decorating. We are very pleased!"

"Whole house popcorn ceiling removal and painting. They are Dependable and honest. Always showed up on time. They rushed to get the project done and the quality suffered. I had to re-mud and paint about 20 spots in the house due to their lack of attention. Left paint cans and trash in my yard. update: after my initial review Steve sent me a harassing text message. Very unprofessional."

FAQs for painting projects in Macon, GA

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.
