"Great Customer Service. We had multiple areas in our house with drywall cracks, nail pops and drywall tape peeling. They repaired everything and touched up the paint. They cleaned up each day before leaving. You can’t even tell where the old problems were. Highly recommend this company."

"Ron was detailed, thorough, and did excellent work. He completed the job as promised and was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He painted the interior of a house that we just purchased and were not living in yet. The week he painted for us, we had both a gas and water leak. As a result, we had to turn off the water as well as the furnace until we could make the necessary repairs. He never complained and continued to do quality work despite less than ideal conditions. Our house has been transformed due to the expertise of Ron and his helper, Randy. Very, very appreciative! Ron is a professional with 30+ years of experience and it shows. Would highly recommend!"

"When I needed the interior of my home painted, Sergio Interior/Exterior Painting was the best choice for me. Sergio (the owner) is a true professional and walked me through every step of the process and provided me a reasonable and completive bid. He is honest, dependable, and trustworthy. His work is quality at its best and he guarantees his workmanship. When I wanted to add or subtract parts of the overall project, he worked with me to ensure that the work he did was the work I wanted. He completed the project on schedule and left the interior of my home looking better than I could have imagined. I look forward to using his services again for other projects. I do not hesitate recommending Sergio Interior/Exterior Painting to anyone."

FAQs for painting projects in Rochester, 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.
