Nothing is worse than a damp, musty basement. Whether your basement is used for storage, laundry, a workout space or home office, a recreational area or family room, we can help. We use quality water-blocking primers and finish paints that prevent interior and exterior moisture from penetrating your basement walls and causing that damp, musty smell.
Hands On Painters are also the experts at bringing life to an older basement. We take the time to transform your space from something cold and utilitarian to something warm, inviting and modern. Simple touches like cleaning up the ceiling with a coat of paint and making sure your utilities and doorways have a uniform color can make a world of difference.
The result is a uniform, quality finish that blocks moisture, reduces odors and turns your basement into the kind of comfortable living space you have always wanted.
From unfinished storage areas to finished family rooms, we handle basement painting and refinishing for homes across Baltimore and Central Maryland, including the walls, ceiling, exposed pipes and the floor. You get a clear, itemized estimate up front and a crew that keeps the work area clean while we're in your home. Contact us today to request your free estimate.

How a basement project works
Every basement is a little different, but the way we run one stays the same.
- 1Free on-site walkthrough
We come out, look at the basement and how you want to use it, and check the walls and floor for moisture and prep. You get a written, itemized estimate, not a rough number over the phone.
- 2Moisture control and prep
We clean the surfaces, make the repairs they need, and apply water-blocking primer so moisture stays out and the finish holds up. This is the step that keeps the damp smell away.
- 3Walls, ceiling and pipes
We paint the walls and give the ceiling, exposed pipes and ductwork a uniform color, which is the quickest way to make a raw basement feel finished.
- 4Floors and final coats
We coat the floor and lay down the finish paints so the whole space reads as one clean, modern room instead of storage.
- 5Final walkthrough
We walk the finished basement with you, take care of anything you point out, and leave the area clean and ready to use.
