"Potts Painting is the best! We had a ton of trim, (including 3 deck and stairs), painted on a large, hard to access, 3 story house. The team power washed and prepped prior to starting the painting which took about a week to complete with two people working long hours. They were professional, cleaned up everyday, and checked in with us on any questions they had before proceeding. Great experience; highly recommend!"

"This was a deck re-stain 3 years after a complete exterior house/deck painting job, so we are repeat customers. As before, they provided solid advice, firm quote, used quality materials, workers showed up on time with COVID masks. Very nice work on both prep [power wash] and stain, two coats applied accurately, and nice job of cleanup. These folks do an excellent job, as I see fall/winter rain hitting the deck I am especially glad we had it done right."

"Vadim & Slavic devoted considerable unpaid time communicating expectations before starting work. We knew what to expect, and nothing went over budget. That's rare. Their balance of professionalism, courtesy and initiative was ideal. Not pushy, not too soft either. Just right. The subcontracted pressure washing prep team was equally courteous and detail-oriented. If you're staining a cedar deck, preparation is everything, and nothing was missed by the cleaning/prep team. Alex and Max did a beautiful job both painting deck railings and applying stain evenly to our perfectly prepped deck. Our property was protected from stray paint splatter because the taping job was perfect. No mess was left for us to clean up. In short, an A+ job. Highly recommended!"

"I had called 4 different painters to get quotes for painting my house. Jerri Bauer was the first one out and after seeing and hearing the other 3, I went with O'Shea's Painting. They did an excellent job. Very professional, neat and hard workers. They came and power washed one day and few days later came to prep for painting. Before I knew it they were painting the house. I am very pleased with all the work they did and attention to detail. When they left for the day everything was clean and neat. I would highly recommend them or use them again. My neighbor from across the street shouted "I love your house!" I do too."

"Zakary Fike came out to look at the project. He provided a rough estimate of $14-20,000 to clean, refinish/paint. As I expect to move soon I decided not to invest that much. He then reccommended an individual to do the cleaning and suggested a method of freshing the exterior appearance that I could do."

"We are very pleased with Max House Painting. They painted the exterior of our home with excellent results. When presented with a problem they provided solutions. We had some staining from roof runoff which they were able to address. The crew was on time, reliable, respectful of the property and easy to work with. We highly recommend Max House Painting."

"I had to have my deck refinished because I had done it myself and really did a bad job:))) Alex responded right away and was able to get in and get the deck stripped and refinished quickly. It really looks great, he did a wonderful job. He was reliable and in great communication about the cost, the likely outcome ( since he had to try to remove my very over applied oil based stain) and about the timing of the work. I would recommend him and I will use him again for any deck or painting needs I have!! excellent!"

FAQs for painting projects in Preston, WA

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.
