"Only one member of the crew spoke a little English and I didn't know he had a translation app until the last day of the job. Also, they could have done a little better clean up afterwards. However, I think they did a very good paint job."

"Mark and his team did a wonderful job. The work on our house was extensive. Mark planned it out with his team and they were on time and worked hard. The job included kitchen and bathroom remodels, sanding and staining hardwoods, painting the entire house. Mark has an "eye" for this kind of work. He can help with interior decorating. We are very pleased!"

"Mr. Scott and his workers were skilled, respectful and timely. They completely gutted our old garden tub, soiled carpeting, made the old shower into a closet and replace a old moldy vanity. They rebuild a shower from scratch with beautiful tile, replaced the flooring with gorgeous laminate, painted the entire bathroom, and replaced the vanity...our the bathroom is updated and gorgeous...everything looks great! Mr. Scott and his workers came in did their job in a prompt and professional manner. No complaints only praises for his professionalism. His company represents the kind of work you want and expect from companies you hire."

FAQs for painting projects in Macon, 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.
