"STRAIGHT EDGE PAINTING - CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE THINGS We recently engaged Straight Edge Painting owned by Wes Reese to paint the entire interior of our house, including all the ceilings and wood trim work. Until now I doubted anyone could paint to my own expectations.. Wes sent in a team of the most professional, careful, pleasant, respectful and well-trained painters you could ever ask for. They start by covering all the floors by taping down heavy-duty brown kraft paper. Then they patch every imperfection in the ceiling and walls that they find. They even shine flashlights on the ceiling and walls to find these imperfections. Then they scrub down the walls with a giant dry mop-head. Next, they clean the baseboard moldings with a brush. Then, they start by priming all the surfaces first. Then they apply 2 coats of the highest quality paint. Wes is always accessible. They are fully insured and offer a very strong warranty. I COULD NOT IMAGINE THAT YOU CAN FIND A BETTER PAINTER."

"Could not have had a better experience... Showed up early everyday and worked non stop. Fixed all wall issues and sanded them down before painting. I had my realtor visiting while he was painting and she stopped and asked for his card because he did such a nice job. Do yourself a favor, hire Diaz Painting!"

"The guys were very polite, respectful and dedicated to their work. They protected everything on the exterior of the home. This included new deck, railings, new concrete patio, roof shingles, windows, doors, air conditioning unit. We had board and baton installed on the front of the home, we are very pleased with the work they performed on the siding. I would highly recommend this company and their workers."

"Hired to paint the entire interior of a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. It ended up needing 3 coats of paint. The work was done professionally with attention to detail. Clean up was handled the same way. We were also pleased with the time it took. Much less than we expected. He was also trustworthy and personable. I would highly recommend him."

"When I met Chris I felt up front that he was the right guy for my job. He had pictures of work he previously worked on. ( just beautiful ) I needed my 10x10 deck stained and sealed. With the 14 steps and balusters that run the length of both areas and set’s pretty high up on large wood deck beams. I hired Chris he got started early morning and finished the job by 3pm same day. I’m very pleased with his work he’s very qualified to take on any job very knowledgeable in his field of work and is very professional he will show up in a vehicle with his logo on it and a shirt logo to. He takes care of your property like he does his own. I highly recommend Chris for your painting needs indoor or outdoor. He’s very trustworthy."

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

FAQs for painting projects in Oakboro, NC

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.
