How much does exterior house painting cost in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati?

Exterior painting cost depends on paintable surface area, prep needs (especially scraping/sanding/priming), trim detail, height/access, and the number of colors. After a walkthrough, we provide a clear scope and estimate so you know what’s included and why.

How long does exterior house painting take?

Timeline depends on weather windows, how much prep is required, dry time between coats, and detail work like trim and doors. We outline a realistic schedule during your estimate so the job isn’t rushed between rain or humidity.

Can you fix peeling paint before repainting the exterior?

Yes. We don’t paint over failing coatings. We identify why it’s peeling (poor adhesion, moisture, sun exposure, or old paint layers), then plan scraping, sanding, and priming so the new system bonds correctly.

Do painters power wash before exterior painting?

Often, yes—cleaning removes dirt, mildew, and chalking so paint can adhere properly. We choose the right cleaning method based on the surface type and condition.

How often should you repaint the exterior of a house?

It varies by surface type, sun exposure, moisture, and the quality of the previous prep and paint system. Homes with heavy sun exposure or older coatings may need repainting sooner than shaded or well-protected exteriors.

What paint is best for exterior siding?

The best exterior paint depends on the siding material (wood, fiber cement, aluminum, etc.) and exposure conditions. We recommend a coating system—including primer if needed—based on durability, adhesion, and a consistent finish.

Can you paint exterior trim, doors, and shutters?

Yes. These details make a major difference in curb appeal. We plan prep and product selection for durability on high-touch surfaces like doors, trim, and shutters.

Is it better to spray or roll exterior paint?

It depends on the surface and finish goal. Some exteriors benefit from spray for speed and coverage, but many areas still require brush/roll for control, back-rolling, and detail work. We recommend the method that fits your home and produces the best finish.

Do you repair exterior wood trim before painting?

Yes, when needed. If trim is soft, separating, or failing, it should be repaired or replaced so the paint system can protect the surface instead of covering a problem that will return.

Do you offer free estimates and a warranty for exterior painting?

Yes. We offer free estimates and a final walkthrough, and we provide a 2-year touch-up warranty after completion, with clear expectations on what’s included.

Interior Trim Installation in Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati & Southeast Indiana

We are not just a painting company — we are your personal painter.

Interior trim is what makes a room feel finished. If your baseboards are missing, your door casing is outdated, or your trim lines look uneven, the right trim work changes the entire look of your home. My Personal Painter provides interior trim installation and trim finishing prep so the details look crisp, the seams look clean, and everything is paint-ready for a polished result.

Baseboards, Door Casing, and Crown Molding That Finish a Room

When homeowners search for interior trim installation near me, they usually want one thing: a finished look that doesn’t feel “builder basic.” We install trim with clean alignment, tight joints, and consistent reveals so the details look intentional—especially in high-visibility spaces.

Interior trim work we commonly install

Baseboards and shoe molding
Door casing and window trim
Crown molding (scope-based)
Chair rail and picture-frame molding (scope-based)
Wainscoting and wall trim details (scope-based)

Areas where trim upgrades make the biggest difference

Kitchens and breakfast nooks
Bedrooms and home offices
Stairwells and landings
Finished basements and bonus rooms

Measurement, Cuts, and Seam Details for Clean Trim Lines

Trim looks “off” when joints don’t close, corners don’t align, or gaps get hidden under heavy caulk. We focus on the fundamentals that create professional-looking trim: accurate measuring, consistent reveals, and careful fastening.

What we focus on during interior trim installation

Straight runs that sit tight to the wall and floor
Clean inside and outside corners that align properly
Tight seams and transitions where trim changes direction
Consistent reveals around doors and windows
Nail placement and fastening that reduces splits and movement
Planning for expansion and settling where appropriate

If a room has uneven floors or wavy walls (common in older homes), we’ll talk through what’s realistic and how we can make it look clean.

Caulking, Filling, and Trim Prep for a Paint-Ready Finish

Trim installation is only “finished” when it’s ready for paint. Small gaps and nail holes are normal—but they need to be handled the right way so the final paint lines look crisp.

Trim finishing prep we may include

Filling nail holes and minor surface imperfections
Caulking seams and gaps where appropriate
Sanding rough spots for smoother paint results
Priming new trim or raw wood when needed
Final surface checks for clean paint-ready lines

If you’re pairing trim work with interior painting, we’ll plan the sequence so the trim looks sharp and the finish is consistent.

Trim Profiles, Materials, and Style Choices That Match Your Home

Trim can subtly elevate a home—or completely change the character of a room. We help you choose trim profiles that fit your style and match what you already have.

Common trim decisions we help with

Baseboard height and profile selection
Modern vs traditional casing styles
Crown molding options (when applicable)
Matching existing trim in adjacent spaces
Accent trim features vs simple clean upgrades
Paint finish expectations (smoothness, sheen, and durability)

Interior Trim Installation Cost Factors and What Impacts Pricing

Interior trim installation pricing depends on scope, complexity, and how much finishing prep is included—not just linear feet. During your estimate, we’ll confirm the details so there are no surprises.

Common cost drivers for trim installation

Total linear footage of baseboards/casing
Number of doors and windows receiving new trim
Corner count and room complexity
Crown molding height and detail level (if included)
Removal of old trim (if required)
Wall and floor unevenness (extra fitting time)
Caulking, filling, sanding, and priming needs
