"Leo and his crew are great. I hire them EVERY time I need painting or power washing. He is prompt, does great work and works hard to please. Hiring work out for house needs can be frustrating, but I’m never frustrated with JJ&K. Highly recommend"

"Daniel contacted me within 10 minutes of me posting the job. He came the next day, did a fair assessment and did the job on the spot. Took about 1 1/2 hours to get the job done himself and did a great job. He is skilled at painting. We are going to call him back for more cedar siding repair and to paint our home. Highly recommend Daniel. Thank you for the fabulous job!!"

"Excellent handyman! He installed a ceiling fan, replaced a towel rack, and repaired a leaking dishwasher hose. He was professional, informative, and did quality work. We appreciated the helpful suggestions he provided for other home projects. We’ll definitely be hiring him again to paint our fence. Highly recommend, Thank you Drew!"

"Mr. Giles did an incredible job on our home. He built us a brand new deck that’s one of the sturdiest, most impressive additions we’ve made in years — true craftsmanship and pride in his work. He also put together a closet system for my wife and painted the walls and closet with an excellent design aesthetic. She’s thrilled with it. He showed up on time, communicated well, and worked efficiently. What sets Andre apart: he’s not a contractor trying to keep everything in-house. When a job needs extra hands, he brings in the right people to do it right. That honesty is hard to find. He’s worth every penny. We’re already planning to have him stain the deck and redo our basement next. I’m recommending him to family, including older relatives who need trustworthy work done."

FAQs for painting projects in Covington, GA

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.
