"Walt and his crew were amazing. Walt was extremely responsive, showed up when he said he would. We were having our bricks, painted a new color and our siding and windows frames painted a different color. My husband was concerned about painting the bricks, but Walt assured us that the product he was using would last many years. Adam, who did the actual painting, had an amazing attention to detail. On our final walk-through, he noticed things we did not. I would highly recommend them. They finish the job when they said they would and we ended up with a beautiful looking house."

"Five Star Painting was just that, 5 star from start to finish! We could not be happier with the experience of get our home painted. The owner Aaron was wonderful. Very personable and professional. From the moment he gave us our estimate until the time we signed the contract with him he communicated all the details of the project. We had gotten a few other estimates, but in the end we went with Aaron. He was by far the best price and was able to start and finish the job the very week we gave the go ahead to do the job. The workers were timely, efficient, fast and cleaned up each day that they were there. The finished product turned out amazing. Aaron came each day to check out the project and talk to us about any issues to make sure we were pleased with the outcome. We would definitely recommend Five Star Painting to anyone in need of a painting project."

"I had a great experience with Uncle D Painting. They pulled down paneling, prepared the walls nicely before painting, made repairs, and hung/painted drywall going down and into my basement. They showed up when they said they would and worked hard. I plan to use them again. And I don't feel as though they overcharged me for the work they did."

FAQs for painting projects in Aurora, OH

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.
