What’s included
- Tape adjacent walls and floors to prevent bleed
- Lightly sand existing finish to scuff and prepare for adhesion
- Fill any chips, dings, or nail holes with wood filler
- Apply trim primer to bare or filled spots
- Brush on two coats of semi-gloss or satin trim paint
- Remove tape carefully for clean, sharp edges
How it works
Tape and sand
We mask adjacent walls, floor, and any hardware, then lightly sand the casing to give the new paint something to grip.
Fill and prime
We fill any damage, apply primer to bare spots, and let it dry before the finish coat.
Brush finish coats
We apply two coats of trim paint with a quality angled brush, working along the profile of the casing for a smooth, chip-free result.
Problems we fix
- Paint chipping at the corner edges of casings where they get frequent contact from opening doors
- Brush marks on flat casing profiles that needed thinning or better technique to flow out
- Paint bleeding onto the adjacent wall because tape wasn't pressed down at the edge
- Yellowing on white casings that were originally painted with oil-based paint
Door Casing Painting in Charleston — FAQ
Should door casings match the baseboard color?
In most traditional interiors, door casings, baseboards, and window trim are all painted the same color, often white or off-white. Matching them gives the room a cohesive, finished look.
Can you paint just the casings without painting the door itself?
Absolutely. Casings and doors are separate surfaces and can be done independently. If only the casings are scuffed, that's all we need to touch.
What sheen is best for door casings?
Semi-gloss is the standard choice for all woodwork because it's durable, easy to wipe clean, and the slight gloss reads as deliberate against flat walls. Satin works well in spaces where you want a subtler look.
Door Casing 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.
