"Fantastic Job. Recently bought this home but we were not happy with the dull, dark interior colors. Tried other contractors but we got the best price quote and color advice from Brian. The work that he and his team have done has completely transformed the house. Absolutely love it. Team was on time every day, very professional and friendly, cleaned up completely when they were done for the day. One room was very difficult and Brian took care of it himself. We are now look at painting the deck and other rooms upstairs and we will hire them again. Highly recommended!"

"They came at 7:30 in the morning and did three rooms and a hall painted a ceiling and weâ re out of my house and cleaned up by 5:30 that same day so it was the fastest most meticulous painting. I have seen the rooms look great they painted the front and back doors as well cleaned up everything moved everything back into place and I would highly recommend them. They did a fantastic job."

Customers say: Quick response
"Johnny and Danny took our fixer-upper and made it look like a million bucks. They remodeled about half of our house, and boy was it a piece of work -- a basement demolished from water damage, broken bathroom (broken shower, cracked sink), and 3 rooms with dented drywall, paint peeling, old popcorn ceiling, you name it. They transformed it into a beautiful home. I LOVE the bathroom they built for us -- it is a showpiece. Beautiful tile work, great suggestions on fixtures. Our bedrooms and living room look brand new. We were doing this within a budget and I can't believe they made it work. Awesome guys too, we miss having them around. Great communication and were always attentive to our budget. Couldn't have asked for better work."

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.
