"Doug did a beautiful job painting the interior of my home. He painted the walls, ceilings, and trim in my living room, dining room, hall, and kitchen. He even closed off an old unused mail slot and patched the wall so well, you’d never know it was there. He also painted my front door and my exterior trim. It looks fantastic!!"

"Pat was and his crew was the most professional and caring group of people you could hire. The transformed my bathroom, and went above and beyond for me. He stayed extra hours when he didn't have to. His crew cleaned everything up and I never had to touch anything. I would trust them with any project I had. They are going to do my upcoming roof and painting project."

"

Contacted Mr. Sanderson and received return call same day.

Appointment was made and he arrived on time and was very reasonable with his quote.

They were very punctual and absolutely did the most professional job of painting, replacing baseboards, clean up

everyday after completed work. Would recommend highly! Planning on using them again!!!!!

FAQs for painting projects in Rush, KY

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.
