"I had Buckey House Painting paint my shutters, front door and porch posts this past week from obtaining a quote to the finished project things went very easy. The men who came to paint were friendly, polite and professional. The foreman reviewed the project with me prior to painting. My porch and lawn were left clean. I highly recommend this company. I will use the for my next painting project."

"Dither is an amazing professional. We had a great first impression and appreciated that he was very thorough in reviewing the work we wanted done and developing an estimate. He provided an estimate on the spot when he came to our house and described the quality of materials he would use for our job. Dither had color samples and provided pictures of his work, and suggested colors he had recently used (a nice touch). We were very impressed with his professionalism: he provided a bid packet with his estimate and brochures for the paint he would use (high quality Sherwin Williams products). We interviewed several painters and Dither was the most thorough and noticed items and asked questions that other painters did not, for example: he asked about painting the interior of the closets and he noticed drywall repairs that needed to be completed before painting (which he took care of). He followed through on his commitments and completed the job as he promised. His crew was careful and efficient and delightful to have in our home. He takes great pride in his work and took extra time to produce an outstanding result (additional caulk and drywall repairs as needed). He communicated very well and we were very happy with the results. In addition, he came back and touched up and repaired areas that were damaged by additional remodeling (hardwood floors refinished). Dither is a quality individual: hard-working, good communication skills, detailed, thorough, efficient and highly-skilled at painting. Excellent work on all aspects of the job: stained trim painted white, precise work on stairway around stained hardwood treads, drywall repair for wallpaper removal gone bad (by us). Lastly, Dither is very personable and easy to work with. Dither was committed to us being satisfied with his job. Highly recommend!!"

"Sebastian from Custom Paint came out and gave me a great consult, walked around the house and showed me what services would be done on the house and the preparation on what would be done on the house. He was straight forward about the pricing and the turnaround time for the project. I really loved that he makes sure the job is completely done and done right! I recommend Custom Paint Jobs for your next paint job. I love the outcome of my house! Thank You Custom Paint Jobs"

"The Fresh Touch Custom Painting team arrived on time and worked in a friendly, courteous and professional manner. The team leader kept me apprised of their progress and alerted me to some additional repairs that needed to be addressed. My home was custom built in 1988. In those days oak was the wood of choice. The cabinet stained was exactly matched. Some work was done on site. Some drawers and cabinet doors were in such need of repair, they were done in their shop and reinstalled the next day. I can honestly say they looked better than the day they were first stained! All the staining mistakes made over 30 years ago were corrected with a circular sander. Since my home was last painted 11 years ago there was a slight variation in the color of the paint. This meant that the entire wall had to be painted after the water damage was repaired. The owner agreed to do this at his cost. Also the original builder did not properly stain my living room window seat. This was also sanded and stained at his cost. Lastly a kitchen cabinet door was missed and that was repaired and stained. The pricing for this project was fair as were the additional costs. The team carefully protected my possessions. My wife and I are seniors. The team would not let us lift anything. They cleaned up afterwards using our vacuum and even got down on their hands and knees picking up any remaining remnants of the job. Now only would I use them again and recommend them I wish I could give them 6 stars!"

"The project manager and paint crew did a great job in our project. We had our home and detached shop/garage painted and our deck stained and it took them three days to complete the job. Once our new roof is installed we will have this company come and touch up needed areas."

"This company did exterior paint/stain in white on our small deck & very long privacy fence (28 8 ft. sections); both sides. They did power wash it first, then applied 2 coats of exterior paint. We also hired them to paint/stain our rental's decks in back & front; both in black. This very efficient team did an outstanding job. Looks great!!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Columbus, 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.
