"John and his crew at Precision Paint Pros did an outstanding job painting the interior of my townhouse at 9745 Transplanter Cir. He is a very pofessional, reliable an knowledgeable individual. I was highly impressed by his attention to detail from drywall repair, sanding and calking before painting. I am extremely happy with the finished job, and will use them in any future painting project. If you want a painting project done professionally I highly recommend Precission Paint Pros"

"Mr. Williams did a good job on our ceilings but the messiest work, in regards to cleaning. There was none. My house is covered with residue. We have to have walls repainted due to ALL the spillage from the ceiling work. Our hardwood floors needs a good cleaning. The shoe tracks are all through our foyer. Also, instead of a full day of work, the 2 man team only works half days, making it longer for the work to be done. No masks noted, and cigarette butts in my yard. Let me just say in fairness, the job was decent, but I would like to recommend them, but in honesty regarding cleanliness, I WOULD NOT and CANNOT!!! I love kindness, but when it comes to your investment, you have to take in account everything. We now have to bring in someone for painting and who will use drop cloths. Oh yeah, make sure to get a contract for accountability."

FAQs for painting projects in Summerville, SC

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.
