"Everyone from the person who came out to power wash the trim too the painting team that did the painting was courteous and professional. The work was done to my complete satisfaction. I did my own painting 11 years ago and thought I did a pretty good job but after seeing what Buckeye did, I know the difference between DYI and Pros. I would use or recommend Buckeye Painting for any painting requirements."

"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!"

"We couldn't be more pleased with our inside and outside painting projects done by Five-Star Painting. Larry and his team did a fantastic job staining t he cedar siding of our old house and updating batton board and painting the stucco on our new house. It seemed their pleasure to take care of all the details and help us on our timeline. They even came back out later to finish so as not to disturb baby birds. We will recommend them again and again."

"I hired Prim Painting to paint the interior of my house - 3 rooms in total. This was not an easy job, as the colors being covered were very bold. The team sent to complete the job did it all in 1 day, and did a fantastic job! We are very satisfied with their work. The gentleman who acted as the lead of the team was very kind and helpful. I highly recommend considering Prim Painting for your painting needs. I would give more than 5 stars if I could."

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.
