"We are thrilled with the great job that Denis and his co-workers did on our deck. They thoroughly sanded, washed, and meticulously applied 2 coats of stain. Denis even voluntarily came back with his nail gun first thing the next morning to fix a loose piece of trim. They were VERY hard working, very nice, and good about contacting us."

"Excellent company ... Project was staining a log home & painting a metal sided barn/garage. A very detailed quote showed Michael had listened to me during conversations on phone and visit to our property. Angi has so far been a good source for reliable contractors. Clean Cut Painting employees are very efficient and personable. They showed up each day ready to work and work they did. Ryan kept me informed during the prep process as my log home needed a lot of TLC. Weather cooperated (most of the time) and the project was completed in less than two weeks. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of his and his crew's work. Attention to detail was excellent. I would hire this company for any painting projects I may have in the future. I've also recommended this company to friends and neighbors. Thank you Clean Cut Painting for a job well done."

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.
