"They showed up and painted the 3 car garage walls, all trim and ceiling. They were here 2 days and did an amazing job. They cleaned up after themselves and it went very smoothly. We will hire them again when we need anything painted."

"Superb advance customer service including visits by Crystal to make sure the stain and paint colors would work for us before buying them and doing the staining and painting. The two-man crew finished sanding and staining our three decks, and painting the railings and steps of two of them in two days. They were neat, careful, pleasant and worked hard. We highly recommend them."

"I contacted Asheville Paint and Decorating owner, Bobby Brown, the end of May. He came to the house and we discussed what needed to be done. He told me the brand of paint to use when we selected our colors and suggested that we get samples and paint a portion of the wall to be sure of the color was what we wanted and explained how colors could look different at different times of day in different lights. Several days later, he sent me a contract which specified the work to be done and the cost.
I told him we were not locked into a specific time frame to get the work done. (Of course, you should set up a work schedule before you sign a contract if time is a factor for you.) Later in the summer we had family coming unexpectedly and we asked him if he could possibly get the guest bathroom done before they came. He very graciously came and got that part of the job done. Also, I decided to have more work done that we had originally contracted and he was agreeable to making the changes. He completed the work in late November.
Mr. Brown came when he said he would. He and his crew were very easy to work with. They moved all the furniture into the center of the rooms where they worked and covered it with tarps or plastic wrap to keep everything clean. We did not have to do anything except remove any fragile items. They cleaned up after painting and put the furniture back before they left in the evenings each day so that we were able to live in our house while they worked.
I would highly recommend Asheville Paint and Decorating for residential or commercial work.

"This is our second time to use custom painting, and they were just as great as the last time. They are very professional, careful, with tremendous attention to detail. I could not be happier and strongly endorse them for any type of painting, both inside and outside."

"I had a small room with issues. It is a 1960s house with several owners before me. The walls in this room kept peeling away and had many areas where the paint was down to the original layer of paint. Ronny finished scraping then patched and sanded the patches. He came back and put on a primer. After that he applied two coats of paint. Ronny is a nice person and was a pleasure to work with. He put down heavy paper over every inch of the room. The work was perfect and the price affordable. Hire him. I will if I need any more painting done."

FAQs for painting projects in Asheville, NC

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.
