Why Hillside Trim Work Is More Than Just Slapping on Paint
Hillside has a lot of 1950s and 1960s split-levels and ranches with original wood trim that's been painted over for decades. Old oil-based layers resist new paint, caulk has pulled away from the walls, and previous DIY jobs left brush marks. Our trim painting crew preps properly so the finish lasts.
Oil paint needs a bond
Old semi-gloss won't take new paint without sanding and primer. We do this on every baseboard painting job in Hillside.
Nail pops from settling
Hillside houses settle. We find and fill every popped nail hole before we brush.
Gaps collect dust and dirt
We replace the caulk where trim meets walls and floors so the finish is tight.
Previous paint drips show
We sand out old drips and brush marks so the new coat goes on smooth.
Cut lines are unforgiving
Wobbly lines show immediately. We cut freehand for a straight edge.
Masking is half the job
We tape floors, walls and glass before painting. See our window trim painting approach.
