"We reviewed 3 bids for the job of staining/sealing both the top and bottom of our very large deck that is only 6 months old along with 2 cedar posts on our front porch. Revive was the company that stood out among the 3 due to their professionalism, promptness, communication and expertise. Their pricing was competitive and actually a great deal considering the amount of work that was done. The workers were meticulous during the entire process and took great pride in their work. They made every effort to ensure that we were pleased throughout the entire process. The result was excellent and exactly what we had envisioned...we absolutely love it! We highly recommend Revive for any of your painting needs. We, as first time customers, will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks, Revive, for a great customer experience and for a job very well done! — Mr. and Mrs. Hayes"

"The team arrived early, worked late, only took on time scheduled breaks, did not waste time. Old roof and tarp and nails efficiently removed and taken off from property when job was complete. I have a complicated roof line and old roof was 10 years old. Whenever any rotted areas were found, crew did not try to hide anything, but surgically cut out bad and fitted new underlay precision. The interior painter, Miguel, who was correction stain damage inside while roof was being finished, was fast and proficient, protected intricate furniture, and put all furniture back in it's place after cleanup and removal of drop clothes. I am already recommending this team for two more roofing jobs, and more as they are heard about."

"Despite the language barrier with the painters who did most of the work, I was satisfied with the interior and exterior painting. They didn't do a great job with final cleanup."
Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.
Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.
Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.
You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.
Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.
Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
