"Justin did a real 5 star job. He was friendly, responsible, fair, and very easy to work with. He first pressure wash the entire house. Then he took tremendous care to tape over all windows and areas that were not to be painted. He covered all my plants so they wouldn’t be hurt. He was very neat with no over spray on any unwanted areas. After he started I asked him to do some extra work and he did it for a very fair price. If you want a responsible, fair, and professional company to paint the outside of your house, this is it. I recommend Justin 1000%."

"I had a horrible realtor (Jordan Dennis Century 21) sell me a home with surprise half dollar sized holes throughout, left wall work unfinished, and just stopped answering the phone altogether in my out of state closing. Edge Painting cleaned up poorly done work from another contractor, painted my entire house and made the walls look great. The crew was very thorough and a pleasure to work with. Everyone was so kind and fast. They worked with me with scheduling to get me in as soon as possible and had other services available such as pressure washing which I needed badly. Someone even installed my new door handle which wasn't even in the contract just because they are nice like that. I highly recommend Edge Painting. You will not be disappointed. #shoplocal"

FAQs for painting projects in Destin, FL

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.
