Trim & Molding Painting in Metro Detroit
Serving Royal Oak, Troy, Sterling Heights, St Clair Shores, and surrounding areas
The Trim & Molding Painting Process
Great trim work doesn't happen by accident. It starts with proper cleaning and sanding to remove old paint, scuffs, and buildup so the new coat has a smooth surface to bond to. We then apply painter's tape with precision, fill any nail holes or cracks with caulk, and use high-quality interior paints designed specifically for trim and molding. The result is sharp, clean edges and a finish that looks like it came straight from a magazine.

Small Detail, Big Impact
Most people don't notice trim and molding when it looks good, but everyone notices when it doesn't. Yellowed baseboards, chipped door casings, and scuffed crown molding can make even a freshly painted room feel unfinished. A fresh coat on your trim and molding ties the whole space together, adds a clean and polished look, and can even make rooms feel larger and brighter.
We've had customers who put off their trim for years, thinking it wasn't a priority. Once the job was done, the reaction was always the same — they couldn't believe the difference it made and wished they hadn't waited so long. It's one of the most affordable ways to refresh your home's interior without a full renovation.
"The details are not the details. They make the design."

Types of Trim & Molding We Paint
Trim and molding runs throughout your entire home, and every piece plays a role in how a room looks and feels. From the baseboards at your feet to the crown molding above your head, these details are what separate a house that feels put together from one that feels incomplete. At Premier Patch Pros, we paint all types of interior trim and molding with the same level of care and precision. Whether it's a simple baseboard refresh or a full repaint of every door casing, window sill, and crown molding, we can get the job done.
What sets a professional trim paint job apart is the prep work. Before we ever open a can of paint, we clean the surfaces, sand down any rough spots, fill nail holes and cracks with caulk, and make sure everything is smooth and ready to take the new coat. Skipping these steps is the number one reason trim paint chips, peels, and looks uneven over time. We'll never cut corners.
We also take the time to tape every edge with precision so the line between your trim and walls is as sharp and clean as possible. Combined with high quality paints and finishes built to hold up to everyday wear, the result is trim and molding that looks like it was just installed. No matter the profile or location, we make sure every edge is clean, every surface is smooth, and every room looks finished the way it should be.

Baseboards
Baseboards run along the bottom of every wall in your home, and they take a beating over time. Scuffs from shoes, vacuum bumps, and general wear add up fast. A fresh coat makes a noticeable difference and gives every room a clean, finished look.
Crown molding
Crown molding sits where your walls meet the ceiling and adds a touch of elegance to any room. When it's painted well, it frames the whole space. When it's not, it sticks out for the wrong reasons. We make sure every angle and corner looks sharp.
Door casings and frames
Door casings are one of the first things people notice in a room without even realizing it. Chipped or yellowed paint around your doors can make a space feel dated and worn. A clean repaint makes your doors look brand new without replacing a thing.
Window casings
Window casings frame your windows and tie them into the rest of the room. They're also prone to peeling and discoloration from sun exposure and moisture. We prep them properly so the new paint holds up and keeps looking good.
Chair rails
Chair rails add character and visual interest to a room by dividing the wall into two distinct sections. Keeping them freshly painted helps them stand out as a design feature rather than blend into the background or look worn.
Wainscoting panels
Wainscoting covers the lower portion of your walls and adds texture and depth to any space. Because it sits in a high-contact zone, it tends to show wear quickly. We make sure the finish is durable and even so it keeps looking great through daily use.
Beadboard paneling
Beadboard has a classic, cottagecore look that works in kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and more. The grooves can collect dust and old paint over time, so proper prep is key. We take the time to clean and coat it right so every ridge looks crisp and clean.
Shoe molding
Shoe molding is the small trim piece that sits between your baseboard and the floor. It's easy to overlook, but when it's scuffed or discolored it cheapens the look of the whole room. A quick repaint goes a long way in tying the floor and wall together seamlessly.
Ceiling light trim
A lot of Metro Detroit homes — especially the older Colonials, Tudors, and bungalows throughout the area — have ceiling light trim that has been the same since they were built. Over the years it yellows, gets dingy, and starts to stand out for the wrong reasons. A fresh coat makes your fixtures look cleaner and more intentional, and it's one of those small updates that goes a long way in preserving the character of an older Michigan home.
Accent and decorative molding
Accent and decorative molding adds personality and architectural detail to a space. Whether it's a simple panel mold or something more ornate, the right paint color and finish can make it pop or blend in depending on the look you're going for. We handle the detail work carefully so the final result looks intentional and polished.
Trim & Molding FAQs
Who is the best painter for trim and molding near me?
Premier Patch Pros is Metro Detroit's trusted choice for professional trim and molding painting. We are fully licensed and insured, and our team is committed to delivering quality results on every project. Check out our reviews to see what your neighbors are saying about us.
What types of trim and molding do you paint?
We paint all interior trim and molding including baseboards, crown molding, door casings and frames, window casings and sills, chair rails, wainscoting, beadboard paneling, shoe molding, ceiling light trim, and accent and decorative molding. If it's trim, we paint it.
Do you paint trim and molding the same day as the walls?
It depends on the scope of the project. In most cases we prefer to paint the trim and molding separately from the walls so we can give each surface the attention it deserves and get the cleanest lines possible. We will walk you through the process during your estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
What is the best finish for trim and molding?
Semi-gloss is the most popular choice for trim and molding because it's durable, easy to clean, and gives a nice subtle shine that makes the trim stand out from the walls. For a more dramatic look, a high gloss finish works great. We can help you pick the right finish based on the room and the look you are going for.
How long does it take to paint trim and molding throughout a home?
It depends on the size of your home and how much trim work is involved. A single room can typically be done in a day, while a full house with crown molding, baseboards, and door casings throughout can take a few days. We will give you a clear timeline before we start so there are no surprises.
Do I need to move furniture before you start?
We ask that you clear the area around the baseboards and trim as much as possible before we arrive. If you are unable to move anything yourself, just let us know and we will be happy to help. For crown molding and upper trim work, furniture does not need to be moved. We take care of laying down drop cloths and protecting your floors and belongings throughout the job.
Can you paint trim and molding a different color than the walls?
Absolutely. Painting your trim a different color than your walls is one of the most popular ways to add contrast and definition to a room. Whether you want a classic white trim against a bold wall color or something more unique, we can help you find a combination that works for your space.
How do you get such clean lines between the trim and the wall?
Clean lines come down to proper taping, a steady hand, and years of experience. We use high quality painter's tape and take our time along every edge to make sure the line between your trim and wall is as sharp as possible. It's one of those details that separates a professional paint job from a DIY one.
What prep work is involved before painting trim and molding?
Good prep is what makes the finish last. Before we paint anything, we clean the surfaces, sand down any rough spots, fill nail holes and cracks with caulk, and make sure everything is smooth and ready to take the new coat. Skipping prep is the number one reason paint peels and chips prematurely, so we never cut corners on this step.
How long before I can touch the trim after it's been painted?
Most trim paints are dry to the touch within an hour or two, but we recommend waiting at least 24 hours before touching or cleaning the surface. This gives the paint enough time to fully cure and harden so it holds up the way it's supposed to.
How often should trim and molding be repainted?
In most homes, trim and molding should be repainted every 4 to 6 years. High traffic areas like hallways, stairwells, and door frames may need attention sooner depending on wear. If you start noticing chips, yellowing, or scuffs that won't wipe clean, it's a good sign it's time for a fresh coat.

Corey Wallace
I hired Daniel from Premier Patch Pros to fix drywall and plaster issues and he made them disappear like a magician. His communication was spot on leading up to the project. He was fast but meticulous. He is also a great painter and was able to cover and cut in around the fixes. I'll definitely hire Daniel's company again.

Daniel helped me with the drywall in my new kitchen from old to brand new in 3 days. He was always on time, communicative and polite. He did wonderful job on the drywall. I highly recommend Premier Patch Pros for any drywall project if you want a professional job that’s reasonably priced.
