"Brian and Cathy were very informative on paint colors, and which type of paint was the best. They listened and answered all my husbands many questions. They did a very good job and we were beyond pleased with the finished project. We will definitely hire them to do our outside painting and gladly recommend them to others!"

"We have used Carnival Custom Painting, owner Ron Forest, before, and they have always done an excellent job. This most recent time is the biggest job we have had done, with four rooms painted and drywall and other repair work done. The crew that did our job were excellent. They were friendly, conscientious, meticulous in detail, quick, efficient, did very professional looking work, and left the areas immaculate when they were finished. We highly recommend Carnival Custom Painting."

"They did an outstanding job. They completly transformed our house. While here we had them do some other projects like rescreen our back porch and did a great job. We actually changed the color on our porch after 1 part was painted and no problem no complaints just repainted to what we changed it to and it turned out great. Esmeralda and her Team are easy to work with and very knowledgeable. My wife and I bonded with her and her husband Leo and feel like we made new friends. Will defitnently hire them when we decide to paint our interior. Leo also found the time to build a ramp into my barn for me and it turned out great as well. If you need painting or decks or anything like that i highley recommend Proactive."

FAQs for painting projects in Montgomery, TX

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.
