Customers say: Quality work

"Manuel and his crew were amazing! The prices were great, especially for the quality of work. We bought a new house and had all of the dark brown kitchen cabinets painted a high gloss light mint color, 3 kitchen ceilings painted, all 3000 square feet of interior walls (which were UGLY and a billion different colors when we bought the property) painted light grey, master bed room ceiling painted a dark grey, 1200 square feet of old carpet and padding upstairs pulled and new put in, 1000 square feet of vinyl plank floors laid over tile downstairs (which included putting down self-leveling concrete first), and a french door that didn't seal when closed fixed. We bought the carpet, padding, and vinyl plank ourselves because we had already picked it out. Everything else was provided by Affordable Painting. Our total out of pocket to Manuel was $6365 with their 10% off Angie's List coupon for interior painting ($1665 for cabinets, $2700 for all painting before AL coupon, $100 for broken door, and $1900 for flooring install) and and it took a total of 7 or 8 days. We plan to eventually have the exterior of the house painted by Manuel and if we ever have other handy work that needs to be done, we'll see if he can do it before anyone else!"

"Joshua VillaLobos repaired a wobbly drive through gate and a walk through gate for the wooden fence in my backyard. He adjusted the latches and fixed the gates so they wouldn't say or drag the ground. He did a great job and made sure I was pleased with his work. I also asked him if he could do another project for me while there, and he had the tools to do this unexpected request. Joshua was professional in every way, he showed up at the time agreed, worked steadily with expertise, knew exactly what materials were needed for the work I needed done, and charged me a fair and reasonable price. He's also a very nice man with a pleasing personality, and I felt comfortable in his presence."

FAQs for painting projects in Waco, 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.
