"JC Painting did an awesome job with the exterior painting of our home. They were very professional and made sure when the job was done, that everything was put back in place. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely use their services again. Thank you Mr. Perez"

"Don't hesitate to hire them. Highly professional. Hire them to repaint the whole house and baseboards. Top Notch - attention to the details (i.e. painting behind outlets). They filled holes in the wall professionally. Nice people, very clean work. Decent price. Highly recommended and I am very picky so take my word."

"I contacted this company because they were doing my next door neighbor?s exterior painting. And i?m more than happy about that decision. They did the interior of my home which i was really worried about it since we had new floors, but i was so impressed that the covered the whole house even the areas that weren?t going to be painted. It was a great experience , clean and professional job , thank you guys!"

"Working with Ched has been a pleasure. He is very professional and does exceptional work. I had some painting that needed to be done in the kitchen in a difficult area above the stove and also needed two 4” high granite backsplashes cut to size and attached to the wall along with some additional painting. The job turn out great and my wife can not believe what a difference those small changes made in the kitchen. He made such an impression on me I plan to give him a call first if I need any additional work done ( big or small ) in the future."

"Tim repainted my old laminated kitchen cabinets, and they now look like new. He was able to make some suggestions for improving my original ideas, and ne went beyond to fix some some problem areas that weren't identified until partway through the project. Communication was very easy. Tim was able to work around my schedule and finished on time. I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for painting projects in Dover, 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.
