"We would highly recommend Everlast Pro Painting for the following reasons. Patrick was very knowledgeable in painting stucco and how to prep it before painting. He was also concerned about meeting our requests. Painters were very efficient, hardworking, helpful, and left the yard clean. Marcos was on site daily. The two week window given to complete the job was done in a week. We will definitely use Everlast for future paint jobs."

"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."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Lawrence Schudy and Unified Painting did an outstanding job. They were prompt, professional, thorough and quick with the job. They also provided a 20% discount on the stain. We received their quote on a Saturday, compared it with others we had and decided to use them on Monday. They started the next day and finished earlier than their estimated completion day. I heartily recommend them for whatever painting or staining task you might have."

"Henry has done everything from staining our pavilion and fence, trim work that no one could get right and the painting is top notch. If you have ever done a Sheetrock repair and it not match - their team just did four from settlement in our house. It’s my house and can’t tell where they were repaired. He has been with us since 2020. He and his family are amazing. Highly recommend. We had his wife clean our house. She did a great job as well."

"Jesse and his crew did a great job painting our home. Jesse is very professional and explained what needed to be done to prep the home prior to painting and painted our shed to match the house as requested. There was no back and forth over issues or details with the house painting and we liked that the crew was experienced and got the job done. We chose Jesse because they were the only crew that would paint our home using brush and roller, meaning that there would be good paint coverage. We initially chose a lighter color for the garage doors on our home and realized that it didn't look right, and Jesse and his team quickly repainted the garage doors for us at no extra cost to ensure our satisfaction. Overall, it was a very good experience, and we are happy with the way our home looks."

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.
