ProfessionalBaseboard Touch-up Painting

Baseboards are the first thing vacuum cleaners, shoes, and furniture legs hit. Over time they collect scuffs, chips, and a dull yellowed look. We sand, prime, and repaint them so they look crisp and freshly installed without touching the walls.

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.

Baseboard Touch-up Painting — 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.
