What’s included
- Lightly sand scuffed or flaking surfaces
- Fill chips and dents with wood filler and sand flush
- Tape the wall above and floor below to protect adjacent surfaces
- Apply trim primer to any bare or filled spots
- Brush on two coats of semi-gloss or satin trim paint
- Remove tape while paint is still slightly tacky for sharp edges
How it works
Sand and fill
We scuff the existing finish, fill any chips or dings, and wipe the baseboards clean so paint has a sound surface to grip.
Prime and first coat
We tape adjacent surfaces and apply primer to bare spots, then brush on the first trim coat in smooth, even strokes.
Final coat and cleanup
After drying we apply a second coat, pull the tape, and clean any small bleeds for a neat finished edge.
Problems we fix
- Paint peeling off baseboards that were cleaned with a degreaser but never sanded
- Drips on the floor or carpet when tape was not used to protect the bottom edge
- Yellowing on older oil-based baseboards that can only be corrected with a proper prime-and-recoat cycle
- Visible brush marks on flat baseboard profiles from applying paint too thickly
Baseboard Touch-up Painting in Charleston — FAQ
Do I need to repaint the walls too when I paint the baseboards?
Not necessarily. If the walls are in good shape and the paint sheen is compatible, you can refresh just the baseboards. We tape and protect the wall so there's no bleed.
What sheen should baseboards be painted?
Semi-gloss is the most common choice for baseboards because it's durable, easy to wipe clean, and reflects just enough light to look crisp. Satin is a good choice if you prefer a less shiny look.
Can you paint around carpet without getting paint on it?
Yes. We use a paint shield along the carpet edge while cutting in with a brush to keep the paint on the baseboard only.
Baseboard Touch-up Painting across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
