Why trim takes more care than walls
Trim is where the quality of a paint job really shows. Gaps, drips, and wavy lines stand out, and baseboards and door frames take more abuse than any wall. Our process:
- Clean: trim collects grime and oils that stop paint from bonding.
- Fill and caulk: nail holes are filled and gaps along walls and corners are caulked so lines look seamless.
- Sand: glossy old paint is scuffed so the new coat grips.
- Protect floors: carpet and hardwood are covered right up to the edge.
- Durable enamel finish: semi-gloss or satin trim paint that wipes clean and resists scuffs.
Trim painting questions
Can you paint just the trim, not the walls?
Yes. Trim-only jobs are common, especially when walls are in good shape but baseboards and door frames are scuffed or yellowed.
What sheen is best for trim?
Most homes look best with semi-gloss or satin on trim. Both are durable and easy to wipe clean. We'll help you match your existing trim or choose something new.
Can you paint stained wood trim white?
Yes. Stained or varnished trim needs cleaning, sanding, and a bonding primer so the paint doesn't peel and the wood tannins don't bleed through.
