Professional Trim and Baseboard Painting
Trim receives frequent contact from vacuums, furniture, hands and everyday traffic. Glossy existing finishes must be cleaned and abraded, damaged areas repaired, and suitable gaps caulked before a durable finish is applied.
Nexa Painting paints baseboards, window and door casings, crown moulding, chair rail, wainscot trim and other paint-grade millwork. We coordinate the trim finish with walls, doors and cabinetry for a consistent result.

What Affects the Cost of Painting Trim?
Trim painting costs depend on the amount, detail and condition of the woodwork. Simple baseboards involve different work from crown moulding, detailed window casings or panelled openings. Room size alone rarely tells the whole story.
Changing stained wood to an opaque colour can require different preparation from repainting previously painted trim. Open joints, damaged edges and built-up paint also affect the scope. When comparing estimates, check whether baseboards, shoe moulding, casings, crown and adjoining doors are included. Nexa can review these details with you, including furniture access and the wall-painting sequence, so the price reflects a coordinated, complete refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should trim be painted before or after walls?
The sequence depends on the scope, coating system and application method. When both are included, we plan the order that produces the cleanest transitions.
Can stained wood trim be painted white?
Often, yes. Stained or clear-coated trim usually requires cleaning, thorough sanding and a suitable bonding or stain-blocking primer.
Do you caulk all trim gaps?
We caulk appropriate stationary gaps where trim meets walls or adjoining trim. Movement joints, large separations and structural movement may require another repair.
What finish is best for baseboards?
A durable pearl, satin or semi-gloss finish is common because it resists contact and can be cleaned. The right sheen also depends on the desired look.
Can damaged baseboards be repaired?
Minor dents, nail holes and small defects can usually be filled. Swollen MDF, rot, major impact damage or missing trim may require replacement.
Will brush marks be visible?
Professional tools and controlled application help produce a smooth finish. Existing texture and deep damage can still influence the final appearance.
