"Santos, Kevin and the entire J & S team completed my project in one day and it looks amazing! My daughter purchased her first home (a one bedroom, one bath condo) and it desperately needed a facelift. J &S definitely took care of that for us. They painted her living/dining room; bedroom; bathroom; and kitchen (including ceilings and trim) in one day! They are truly amazing! If I ever need anything painted, I will contact them in a heartbeat. I will also recommend them to all of my family and friends who may need any kind of painting needs. If you have a project that needs painting, don’t hesitate to call J & S Painting. They are professional, kind, and prompt. They’re great!!!"

"Highly recommend using this company for all of your painting needs! They know paint and are very educated on the types of paint to use on the various surfaces in the home. They also offer a 2 year warranty, which is different from their competitors. They took so much care in my home and had the work completed prior to my furniture arriving. Trey is prior military so he understands the time crunch. There were a few areas that needed touch ups, but they came right out the next day to ensure that I was completely happy with the finished product! Price was comparable to other companies in the Louisville area but actually quite less than the frequently used companies closer to my new home. I will definitely use them again!"

FAQs for painting projects in Tell City, IN

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.
