"Wonderful! The guys who did the work paid attention to detail and did exceptional work! I had my stringers and steps replaced, my deck repaired, and the house, front porch, and deck painted/stained. I am very pleased with the work that was done! The guys even painted my house numbers and downspouts; I wasn’t expecting that. Jamie is fantastic to work with. He returns calls and texts the same day! I will definitely hire Encompass again and have already referred them to several people."

"Samuel and his team were professional, courteous, and communicated well. Quick to show up for an estimate and get the work started. They had a tight timeline and made sure to complete the work within the deadline. Samuel Weaver has a ton of before and after photos on Facebook which helped solidify the decision to move forward and trust the quality of his craft. Stuck very close to the original quote (came across a few surprises but fair additional cost), no smoke and mirror tactics with quoting. Very polite and cleaned up after they were done with the project. Would recommend to anyone for painting or remodeling. The house looks amazing."

"They won't begin work until June 1st. They have been very professional and helpful. Chris has been quick to get back to me when messaged. I am very happy dealing with them so far. I only gave their work a rating because this algorithm requires it. If the work is bad, I'll write a new review."

"Alonso and his team are by far the BEST that anyone can hire to come into your home and get an excellent job done. Treats your home with respect. He installed crown moldings and picture frames in the foyer, crown moldings in upstairs hallway, media room and masterâ s bedroom and a coffered ceiling in the family room. He is very caring, punctual, professional and delivers an excellent service with a smile. He removes all furniture and pictures from the work area and covers them. He covers the floors to protect them from any dust or paint. They work very neatly and clean, pays attention to detail and is very meticulous. All furniture are put back in place when the work is complete. He shares his ideas and make recommendations for design and choice of material to get best results for my project. I highly recommend Alonsoâ s General Carpenter, LLC anyone who needs his service. You will be happy you did! Above all his price is very reasonable and I wish I could rate him with a 10."

FAQs for painting projects in Watkinsville, GA

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.
