"We contracted with Chavez Painting to paint 3 large bedrooms, an upstairs hallway, and a stairwell with a high ceiling. They painted the walls, trim, doors and ceilings. When Mr. Chavez visited to provide a quote, he left us with a Sherwin Williams sample book of all their colors so we had plenty of time to select colors. He purchased the paint for us saving a trip to the paint store. Mr. Chavez and his team arrived on time, were very courteous and worked diligently. Before painting, they did a careful job fixing issues with the walls (nail pops, dings, gouges, and separating drywall seams). They covered our carpeting and all the furniture and sanded the walls before applying paint. They finished in two days and their work was beautifully done. We are very pleased with the result. A long problem seam we used to stare at every day going downstairs is gone! They repaired this difficult spot. We will use them again when we are ready to have the downstairs painted."

It looks so nice. Marvin was punctual, professional and a pleasure to do business. I would definitely use him for any project I needed done."

Customers say: Quality work

"Marcus was professional and thorough. He had to order the part needed for my washer but he researched solutions, recalls, and frequent issues prior to his arrival and communicated every step of the way. He was knowledgeable about my appliance, either through experience or prior research and replaced the part in under an hour. He spent more than an hour observing the washer complete an entire wash cycle to ensure the Job was complete. His service was awesome and his price for labor was more than reasonable. I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for painting projects in Aquasco, MD

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.
