"I had The Atlanta Painting Company paint our kitchen cabinets. We could not be more pleased. Their professionalism was top notch and the quality of their work was phenomenal. My wife said it feels like an entirely different room. I would highly recommend Atlanta Painting to anyone that has a painting need!"

"Sofio and his team did a GREAT job. We requested they paint ceiling, trim, doors, and walls and he went above and beyond patching holes/sanding/staining other doors. He was willing to work with us and ensured the work was done well. Not only did they do a great job, they also work efficiently. Not to mention he provided all quality paint and supplies. I am so happy we chose this company. Will hire them again in the future for exterior work/floors. 10/10 recommend!"

"I called just to have my 10 shutters painted. Alex answered and said he would be over in less than an hour to give me an estimate. He arrived within that time frame. He gave me a quote, which we agreed on, and said he could start immediately. He finished the job and then asked if I would like him to paint the front door. We agreed on a price, and he painted the door. The work was quick and professional. The front of my house now has a clean, fresh look to it. He cleaned up afterward and and he passed his business card to me. I would highly recommend Alex or A&S painting services to any home owner for painting jobs, large and small. A&S also does other work such as large painting jobs, power washing, carpentry, etc."

"They were great to work with, and there prices were more than fair. I had a small issue with one wall (not anyones fault, the wall was still wet when they left and it only showed up after it dried). Dalton and Bre came right back and were happy to take care of the issue. I would recommend them as I will be using them again for painting projects."
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.
