"House looks great, nicely covered and trim clean and neat. Painted our large three level house in four days. The deck staining was executed really well , however we wanted the same stain that we had on it color wise and it came out much darker when completed. We miss the warm cedar tones. That was the only negative thing. The stain on the front door was very nice and the color was perfect. And the clean up was well done. I would hire them again."

"Miles and his employees did an absolutely incredible job on our home remodel. He guided us through what to expect, selection of paints and stains, what to expect, and what to do to make this custom executive home look brand new and ready for sale. From estimating costs and time, to job prep, painting and staining inside and out, and clean up, everything was done with attention to detail, excellence in application and results of the job. He and the young men he employs were totally professional, courteous, efficient, and extremely competent. None of their work ever had to be corrected. Miles even arranged for other contractors we needed, taking stress off of us and reducing our work load. They even helped us move furniture to make preparation easier. Miles went beyond our expectations to make this major undertaking in a home we have been in for 35 years, as easy to accomplish as possible. The results are AMAZING. KUDOS also to Miles for training, mentoring, and developing our future workforce. The work of these young men stands up to and exceeds that of anyone else we have ever used to do work on our home. Charlene and Jim Derry, EagleRiver, AK"

FAQs for painting projects in Anchorage, AK

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.
