If you’ve ever looked closely at the trim in your home (baseboards, door frames, bannister), you may have noticed that it’s a mess. Between shoes and dogs, dirt and dust and vacuum cleaner scuff marks, trim takes a major beating even in the most immaculate of homes.

At least once a year, and for pocket change, pick up some white paint in a high gloss, and give your trim a touch up. If you’re anything like me (where the idea of doing this yourself is as appealing as dental work), hire the best in the business, Jack Bilariusz of Professional Painting & Restoration.
