"The Perfect Edge Painting crew did an excellent job. They did some custom trim work and painting. Good communication, prompt, and professional. Did a great job of cleaning up very easy to work with. In fact we used them again for a second painting job in the spring. Highly recommend."

"I loved working with J&S Painting. They are nice, efficient, communicative, and overall great workers. They made painting the interior of our entire home easy, and even patched holes we had in the drywall, which was huge for us. They did an amazing job with paint work, trim, and ceilings. Thank you all so much!"

"Jesus was very attentive to his work. He wanted to make sure the job was done correctly and looks good. He even went so far as to fix an area at the seam between ceiling and wall. We had a wall that had a bad drywall job and he asked if he could make it look better. They took care of it and even primed it so it is ready to paint. With all of the ceiling repair there was one area where the insulation was an old type that had been there for at least 30 years. It was a huge mess. They did great to get all of the loose deep on the floor insulation. When they finished each day they had everything clean and ready for us to continue our daily life without working around their equipment. When the job was finished, they took up the protective paper on the floor, then they mopped up all the floors and and had everything looking so nice. Very friendly, hard working and good to work with."

FAQs for painting projects in Nicholasville, KY

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.
