"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!"

"Xpert Painting Plus did an outstanding job on painting the exterior of my house! Jose was here each day to ensure that all was going well. He gave me his expert opinion on picking the right shades for the siding and columns on my house. Jose and his crew are true professionals and I wouldn't hesitate to have them back for my next painting project! THANK YOU, JOSE and XPERT PAINTING PLUS!!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"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!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Mcdonough, 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.
