"100 year old house with lead paint issues as well as extensive surface preparation. Also some trim and stucco replacement were required on this 2 1/2 story english tudor home. The work was excellent in all respects with special attention to detail. The work included painting a two car garage and replacing the two garage doors. Both Kelly and Josh are professionals in their attention to details regarding this job."

"This contractor was prompt to come and give us an estim.ate and showed up the next day to begin the work. Because the kitchen floor was so wet it was in danger of collapsing or having one of us go through, he came and began the work immediately. They repaired the water leak and tore up all the wet chipboard. They replaced all the wet floor with plywood Finally they installed my dishwasher and put down our new flooring. They definitely knew what was needed and did the work quickly, completely and bagged up all the trash and removed it for us. This was all done for a very reasonable cost. We will call them for any jobs that come up in the future,"

"Collin and his helpers were the best. They were prompt, skilled, well equipped, neat and fast. Completed the walls and ceilings for two rooms in 4 hours after wall and ceiling pactching which took Collin about 1 hour on the day before. I consider them the best painting group ever. Very reasonable also."

FAQs for painting projects in Marietta, 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.
