Lexington's identity is built around its Revolutionary War history — the Battle Green sits at the center of a town filled with colonial-era homes, many dating back over 200 years. Outside the historic core, tree-lined streets run through neighborhoods of Capes, Colonials, and center-entrance homes built as the town grew around its schools.

Trim takes more abuse than any other painted surface in a home — vacuum cleaners, shoes, and hands all make contact with baseboards and door casings daily. We refinish trim in a durable semi-gloss or satin, sanding out scuffs and old drips before the new coat goes on, with careful masking so the line against the wall color stays crisp.

Trim & Baseboard Painting Cost in Lexington

Trim-only projects typically run $800–$2,400 depending on linear footage of baseboard and the number of doors and window casings involved.

Trim painted at the same time as walls costs less than a standalone trim job, since masking and setup overlap with the wall work already underway.

Lexington Considerations Before You Start

A meaningful share of Lexington's housing stock sits within the town's Historic Districts, where exterior color and material changes typically go through a review process before work starts — we check a property's district status early rather than after a color's already chosen.

Homes built before 1978 fall under the EPA's Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule, which sets lead-safe work practices for disturbing old paint. Any painter we match you with in Lexington confirms RRP certification before work starts — see the EPA's RRP program overview for what that covers.

Check with the Town of Lexington if you're not sure whether your property falls inside a historic district before committing to an exterior color.

Our Process

Trim work follows a tighter five-step process:

01
Assessment
We check the existing finish and note any repairs needed before quoting.
02
Mask & Protect
Walls and floors masked off tight to the trim line.
03
Caulk & Sand
Gaps filled, old finish scuffed for adhesion.
04
Prime & Paint
Bonding primer where needed, then a durable semi-gloss topcoat.
05
Final Check
Lines checked against the wall color before we call it done.
