Trim, Door & Baseboard Painting by Dunwoody Painters
Interior
Service /11

Caulked, sanded, and enameled trim, doors, and baseboards with crisp lines.

Trim is where a paint job is judged. We fill nail holes, caulk every seam, sand the profile smooth, and lay down a hard enamel that stands up to shoes, vacuums, and pets.

Doors can be sprayed for a glass-smooth finish or brushed in place. Every line where trim meets wall is cut by hand rather than taped, so the edge is straight and nothing bleeds underneath.

The difference is in the prep. Our crews protect your floors, fill and caulk every joint, and sand between coats, so the finished trim looks sharp and stays that way for years.

OUR PROCESS
/01

On-site assessment

We walk the trim and baseboards with you, measure, note problem areas, and confirm the finish you want.

/02

Written proposal

You get a line-item estimate with products, prep scope, and a firm schedule. No surprises.

/03

Protect & prepare

Surfaces are covered, then cleaned, sanded, filled, caulked, and primed so the enamel bonds properly.

/04

Apply & inspect

Enamel goes on in full coats, then we walk the finished work with you and correct anything before we call it done.

What's Included

What a trim repaint includes

Every run of baseboard, casing, crown, and door in the quote gets the full prep below before any enamel goes on.

  • Painter smoothing filler over a wall with a putty knife

    Nail holes and dents filled

    Holes, dings, and gouges filled and sanded flush, so the enamel doesn’t show every flaw.

  • Painter caulking a seam with a caulk gun

    Every seam caulked

    Open joints at miters and along the wall line sealed, so the trim reads as one clean piece.

  • Brush laying a crisp line of paint along interior trim

    Hand-cut lines

    Trim and wall meet in a straight edge cut with a brush, not tape, so there is no bleed.

  • Doors sprayed and drying on racks under plastic sheeting

    Doors sprayed or brushed

    Doors sprayed on racks for a glass-smooth finish, or brushed in place to match the trim.

  • Painter working along crown molding at the ceiling line

    Crown and casings

    Crown molding, window casings, and door frames finished in the same enamel as the baseboards.

  • Taping off trim and laying drop cloths before painting

    Floors protected

    Floors covered and furniture pulled clear before anyone sands or opens a can.

  • Need more than paint?

    Replacing split or rotted trim, installing new crown, and cabinet refinishing can be added to a trim job, or fold it into a full interior repaint. Tell us the scope and we will put it in one estimate.

Color & Finish

Trim whites that hold up

Most Atlanta trim is a clean white that sits a step brighter than the walls. One deep color is saved for a door. These colors suit trim, doors, and baseboards.

Pick the trim white against the wall color, not on its own. A stark white beside a warm greige can look blue, and a creamy white beside a cool gray can look dingy. We test the two side by side on your actual trim before anyone commits.

Running one trim white through the whole house keeps the rooms tied together. If some trim was oil-based, we prime it first so the new enamel bonds and doesn’t peel. A deeper door color is the place to add contrast.

How to tell your trim is due

Trim takes more hits than any wall in the house. These are the things we look for on a walkthrough.

  • Scuffs that no longer wash off

    Shoes, vacuums, and pets mark baseboards first. When cleaning burnishes a shiny patch, the film is spent.

  • Gaps opening at the seams

    Caulk shrinks and splits at miters and along the wall line. Dark gaps make even clean trim look tired.

  • Whites that have yellowed

    Trim whites drift over time, especially oil-based enamel and trim near kitchens and fireplaces.

  • Chipped door edges and casings

    Door edges and the corners of casings take daily knocks. Chips expose primer or bare wood.

  • Cracks at joints and nail pops

    Normal settling in Georgia clay opens hairline cracks at trim joints and pushes nail heads through the finish.

In metro Atlanta, trim, doors, and baseboards usually need a fresh coat every 4 to 6 years. On schedule, that means fill, caulk, sand, and two coats of enamel. Left too long, it can add stripping failed paint and replacing damaged trim. Call (678) 737-6776 if you are seeing any of the above.

FAQs

Questions we hear most

Straight answers on timing, paint, payment, and the warranty. Anything else, ask us on the estimate visit or call (678) 737-6776.

Yes. We color-match from a sample chip, so new work blends in with the rooms we are not touching.

We usually prime and coat the trim first, then cut the walls to it. That order gives the cleanest line.

We use premium products from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, chosen for durability and a smooth finish. On trim and doors that means a scuff-resistant enamel in the sheen that suits each surface.

Every project is backed by a written 2-year workmanship warranty. If anything isn’t right, we come back and make it right.

You pay nothing until the job is finished and you’re 100% satisfied. Our no-payment-until-complete promise keeps the whole process risk-free.
