Frequently Asked Questions
How much does trim painting cost in Texas?
Trim painting in Texas costs $1,500 to $4,000 for a whole-home interior trim repaint. Individual rooms cost $75 to $200 for baseboards and $100 to $250 for crown molding. Door frames run $50 to $125 each. Exterior trim painting costs $1,200 to $3,500. Trim painting is labor-intensive due to the detailed cutting-in and sanding required, which makes it more expensive per square foot than wall painting.
What paint finish is best for trim?
Semi-gloss is the standard finish for interior trim in Texas homes. It provides a subtle shine that contrasts with eggshell or flat wall paint, creating visual depth. Semi-gloss is also more durable and washable than lower sheen finishes, which is important for high-traffic baseboards and door frames. High-gloss is an option for a more dramatic look but shows every imperfection, so surfaces must be perfectly smooth.
How do painters get such clean trim lines?
Professional trim painters use a combination of techniques including high-quality angled brushes, steady hands developed through years of practice, and painters tape for critical edges. The key is loading the brush properly and cutting in with smooth, continuous strokes. Many professionals freehand cut-in lines without tape and achieve cleaner results than tape alone. Proper paint consistency and a quality brush are essential tools.
Should I paint trim before or after walls?
Professional painters typically paint trim first and walls second. The trim is painted with precision, then the wall color is cut in against the dried trim. Some painters prefer the opposite order if spraying walls and then brushing trim. Either approach works when done by a professional. The key is that the second color being applied is the one that gets cut in for clean lines. Discuss the sequence with your painter.
Why does white trim turn yellow over time?
White trim yellows due to oil-based paint oxidation, exposure to cooking fumes, cigarette smoke, and UV light. Older Texas homes often have oil-based trim paint that yellows naturally over time. Switching to a non-yellowing acrylic latex trim paint like Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams ProClassic eliminates future yellowing. A coat of stain-blocking primer before the new latex paint prevents bleed-through from the old oil paint.
Can you paint trim without removing it?
Yes, most trim painting is done in place without removal. Painters mask the walls and floors adjacent to the trim and apply paint with brushes. Removing trim risks damaging the walls and the trim itself. For baseboards, painters use a small shield or tape to protect the floor. Door frames and crown molding are always painted in place. Only cabinet doors and removable shelving are typically removed for painting.
