"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!"

"Ross was very responsive and provided timely service on a small drywall repair in my home. He accomplished the repair, texture and paint job very efficiently and the end result was excellent. The repair was seamless; the paint was perfectly matched. I would definitely hire A1 Drywall again!"

"Jesse sent Steven Hernandez to paint the exterior of my new garage doors. I was late arriving home by three hours and Steven waited for me to return from my doctors appointment. He was so good at pointing out existing problems with over painting on the old garage doors and the malfunctioning of the new garage doors. Thanks to Jesse & Steven for doing such a good job and being so patient! I recommend their services with no reservation!"

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.
