"One of the upstairs bathrooms required substantial work that took several days, due to damage done by months of excessive humidity from a poorly functioning exhaust fan. What started as a mess on the walls and the ceiling turned into a fresh-looking bathroom. Jamie discovered a bad surprise when he stripped the wallpaper in our downstairs bathroom. The drywall was badly scarred, but he was able to restore it so it looked smooth and ultimately was paintable. We are very pleased with his work, and that of his helper, Christopher. We will use A Brush of Class for all of our painting needs in the future!"

"Very friendly, hard working guys. Painting was completed to my satisfaction. Will hire again. Work was completed in one day. They did a great job protecting the furniture, floor, etc. Clean up was great. When they left, we couldn't tell they had been here, except for the new paint."

"Sebastian and his crew checked all the boxes and were the best we have experienced in the 44 years we have lived in this house. Very pleasant, professional and responsive. We could not have been more pleased and know they will be the first we will call for further painting needs."

"This is our second time working with Fresh Touch and we could not be more pleased with the work. This time we had the exterior of the house painted. From beginning to end the service was first class. Very thorough at explaining our options and offered great suggestions. The entire house was power washed and painted in three days. They even took down the gutters and painted them to match the trim, front door and garage. Great attention to detail and great work once again. All this at a very reasonable price. Thanks!"

"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."

"They arrived on time, and immediately went to work. Very industrious! Rueben and his team have been painting a long time. All floors and railings were covered and protected. The paint job was flawless. They painted entire former, which is 30 feet high and upstairs hallway. Cleanup was perfect, we could not be happier."

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.
