"Rodrigo and his team completely transformed my kitchen. They painted my wooden stained cabinets, walls, trim and ceiling. The cabinets look like new! They are expert painters and pay close attention to detail. I would hire them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services!"

Customers say: True professional

"The team did such an awesome job power washing and painting my house. They were on time and cleaned up afterwards every day. They knew we had dogs and made every effort to accommodate them. The attention to detail was great. I already scheduled them for inside painting in the winter. Highly recommend."

"Lance and Elizabeth did a fantastic job painting our home. They painted our entire home (1800sqft) and they finished a day early. They were both very professional, nice, courteous and they even won over our three dogs. Our house looks brand new with the crisp edge paint work on the baseboards. We love it. We will be using Lance and Elizabeth for any future paint needs. Money well spent!"

"I cannot recommend Pristine Images Painting Pros enough. I reached out for an estimate and was immediately set up for a free in-person estimate (with COVID-19 procedures adhered to) the next day. They were able to schedule the job for the following week which was perfect for our timeline. They took such care around our home, did the work required to prepare the walls for painting (including patching drywall hole), and applied the paint amazingly well. They always arrived on time and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire job. Look no further for your next painter!"

FAQs for painting projects in Charlotte, 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.
