"A1 Stellar Painting painted the exterior of our home and WOW!! Before they were even finished our neighbors were telling us how amazing it looks. We are getting the home prepared to sell but now we don't even want to. It looks like a brand new home! The guys were very friendly, professional and worked around challenging weather conditions to get this done in a timely manner for us. We recommend A1 Stellar for all of your painting needs!"

"gave me a quote and said i did not have to pay till done; on the third day he wanted money which was fine but that was not original agreement/. I had 2 strips of wallpaper taken down and painting done,I did not know that a ceiling had to cost more,I thought that was part of room painting. He could not give me a quote prior to doing ceilings. costing me more than I planned.he did do a good job but I had already bought some of the paint. .he was always on time.He borrowed my paint roller and proceeded to take it with him.I let him know he took it but has not been returned/HEadvertises senior discount but I dont think i got one.to future customers get the quote ahead of time.HE should have gave me a price on ceilings before hand not surprise me in the end."

"I looked on Angi's list. Michael Barta called to set up appointment to look at our house and give us a quote. He was able to send his crew to start power washing and paint prep the next day. His team of workers were very knowledgeable and wanted to make sure we were pleased with their work. They painted wooden window frames, wooden eaves, gutters, and downspouts. We would hire Barta Affordable Painting again without hesitation."

FAQs for painting projects in Smith Mills, 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.
