"Easy to talk with and very quick to return calls. Pressure washing job went very well. Deck staining also looked good. Downside was that the quote looked low based on his basic labor charge, and he added material and repair afterward. That made the price 2.5x the quoted price, which gave me some sticker shock. I would prefer seeing the bottom line price upfront. That being said, it was my error and the work was good. Just make sure you understand the true price before you sign."

"The paint looks great - it was a light color over a dark terra cotta and there’s no trace of the original color. Brooks helped removed quite a bit of heavy furniture and artwork I couldn’t handle. Absolutely trustworthy, I’d hire him for any painting I needed done! The house is absolutely transformed!"

"Top Gun Painting really saved my project. In less than a week, my home went from one of the most stressful aspects of my life and badly in need of a paint job to show-room ready-to-sell. Mr. Williamson gave me a call quickly and met with me the same day. I was hoping to have my stairwell painted and the common areas redone, and instead my whole home (ceilings, trim, kitchen cabinets, and even the stair rail!) were all completed in 2 days. I would hire Top Gun Painting for any project and trust their work and integrity. I am truly grateful for all of their hard work!"

"Victor was a great handyman! He was very professional, knowledgeable and provided fantastic service. He was always on time and went out of his way to provide exceptional service. We are VERY pleased with the work that he provided and will hire him again to complete different projects for us. He did an awesome job in my family room in repairing a hole in my ceiling due to water damage. Then he did an awesome job with renovating my master bathroom upstairs. He gave me new flooring, new tile, new plumbing and painting. He does EXCEPTIONAL WORK !! His pricing is very reasonable. I would highly recommend Victor!!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Powhatan, VA

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.
