"Mike installed a tub and shower surround. Fixed the drywall, plumbing, and insulation. He had to do work under our crawl space and tons of other small things to get our bathroom up and running. Was more than fair on pricing and completed everything in a timely manner. Will definitely have him complete any other jobs that pop up around the house!"

"I put off painting for awhile.i was Procrastinating. I didn t know where to start looking for a painter. I searched Home Advisor and read all the reviews. Ron the Painter had excellent reviews. So I called him. He was at the house in a few days. Giving me an estimate. He did excellent work. Always on time. He was very mannerly. I had furniture to be moved They moved furniture and covered with plastic. I like that they cleaned up after themselves. I trust them. I highly recommend Ron the Painter. I will use his service again when needed. Thank you Ron the Painter."

"They show up when they say they will. They never miss a day. They are very friendly, kind and trustworthy. They painted the entire inside of my home (walls, woodwork, doors) which has not been a small task. I feel blessed to have found Elijah s Painting on Home Advisor."

"Mr. Barrera of pro Systems is super skilled.; an amazing job at a great price. After complaining to the BBB about their member Stellar Paint Co for 12 months and getting no response from Stellar, I went on line to Home Advisor. Pro Systems called me quickly, estimated the job of repainting the rear of my house, started at schedule today and finished today. Problem solved. Actually a pleasant experience. note: BBB tried to help by contactiong Stellar at least twice but to no avail. Thanks for the referral."

FAQs for painting projects in Utica, KY

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.
