Common Trim and Molding Painting Projects We Handle

Trim and molding painting enhances the details of a home, creating a polished and refined look. Here are some of the most common painting projects we handle.

Baseboards

Baseboards take a lot of wear and tear, collecting scuffs, dust, and damage over time. A fresh coat of paint restores their crisp lines and enhances the transition between walls and floors.

Crown Molding

Crown molding adds architectural elegance, but faded or chipped paint can diminish its effect. Professionally painted crown molding creates a sharp contrast that elevates ceilings and enhances room aesthetics.

Door and Window Trim

Door and window trim frames key focal points in a room. Painting these elements provides a clean, finished look while protecting against daily wear, fingerprints, and moisture damage.

Wainscoting and Wall Paneling

Wainscoting and paneling add depth and character to walls but require precise painting. A smooth, flawless finish on these features enhances their decorative appeal and makes interiors look refined.

Exterior Trim and Fascia

Exterior trim and fascia are exposed to weather, leading to fading and peeling. High-quality exterior paint not only improves curb appeal but also protects wood and other materials from moisture and sun damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of paint is best for trim and molding?

Trim and molding require durable, high-quality paint that resists scuffs and wear. Semi-gloss and high-gloss finishes are commonly used because they provide a smooth, easy-to-clean surface while enhancing the details of the trim. Water-based acrylic or oil-based paints both offer long-lasting results, depending on the material.

Do I need to sand trim and molding before painting?

Yes, sanding is recommended to ensure proper adhesion and a smooth finish. Glossy or previously painted surfaces should be lightly sanded to help the new coat bond better. If the trim is raw wood, sanding removes rough spots and prepares the surface for primer and paint.

Should trim and molding be painted before or after the walls?

Trim and molding are usually painted after the walls. This allows for cleaner, sharper edges, as trim paint is often glossier and easier to touch up. If major wall painting is planned, it's best to complete that first to avoid any unnecessary mess on freshly painted trim.

How long does trim and molding paint take to dry?

Drying time depends on the type of paint used. Water-based acrylic paint typically dries to the touch in 1-2 hours and can be recoated within 4-6 hours. Oil-based paint takes longer, usually 6-8 hours to dry and up to 24 hours for full curing. Proper ventilation speeds up drying time.

Can you paint over stained or varnished trim without priming?

No, priming is necessary when painting over stained or varnished trim. Stain and varnish create a slick surface that prevents paint from properly adhering. A high-quality bonding primer helps seal the surface and ensures a smooth, even finish that won’t peel or chip.
