"My house was built in the 1980s. We bought the house 3 years ago and there was more deferred maintenance than we expected. We contracted with Everlast Pro Painting to update the exterior paint. Preparing and repairing the exterior wood actually took longer than the exterior paint job. I appreciate their attention to detail and to a professionally executed paint job. This project was the third project that Patrick has completed for us and he will be doing an interior paint job (painting refaced kitchen cabinet doors) next month. We absolutely trust Patrick and his crew with any paint project - interior and exterior.`"

"Nick and team did a phenomenal job painting the entire interior of my house (incl. ceilings, doors, trim, etc). I'm very happy with the final results. Nick was very punctual, organized and quick to respond with any questions and requests. They made it so painless, I just wished I had done it sooner! The quality of their work is incredible. Perfect lines, no dripping and the clean-up was spotless every day. Looks like a brand new house. I can't say enough good things about the experience. We will be doing the exterior of our house soon and I am looking forward to working with Nick again and highly recommend them for all your painting needs."

"These guys were incredible! Not only did they stain my deck with the proper product, but they replaced boards that were warped or rotten. They were reliable and traveled more than an hour to get here each day until they were finished. I would recommend them for any kind of paint job."

"Lawrence did a stellar job on cleaning my horribly dirty, algae-covered deck, railing and stairs. The wood looks better than new! I’m going to hire Lawrence to stain my front and back porches as well. Highly recommend Lawrence and Unified Painting!"

"I was redoing my mom’s home and didn’t have the budget to gut the kitchen. I decided I wanted to paint the cabinets but knew it was above my pay grade. My handy man recommended Ross and he was AWESOME! He totally transformed the kitchen! He used high quality primer and paint. His prepping the space was great. Often time crews skimp on this step. Not Ross. There was NOT a spot of paint anywhere on my floors, counters or back splash. It’s been over a year and the cabinets look as good as the day he painted them. Plan on having him back for my exterior eventually. A+++"

"Jesse did a wonderful job with my house. The color was exactly what I wanted due to his thorough questions. All rotted wood was replaced and all trim was painted. He even painted my doors. The house looks like new again and in only two days."

FAQs for painting projects in Universal City, TX

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.
