How To: Paint Baseboards
Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How To: Paint Baseboards and hope the blog can help you.
Are your dingy, scuffed, or chipped baseboards getting you down? Perk them right up with a fresh coat of paint. Here’s how.
Of all the many types of molding installed to put the finishing touch on a room, there’s none more common than baseboard.
Whether simply or elaborately profiled, baseboards perform two important roles in a room: They create a pleasing visual transition between the walls and floor, and they conceal the often imperfect perimeters of a flooring installation (hardwood boards with uneven edges, for example, or vinyl sheeting that curls up at the end).
Although baseboard molding is an essential component of a truly polished look, most people don’t give it a second thought—that is, until the baseboard gets scuffed, or the paint starts to chip or look tired. Fortunately, renewal requires only a fresh paint job, a project that virtually anyone can do, although there are a handful of important considerations to bear in mind. Read on for the step-by-step details.
