"We were searching for a paint contractor with experience locally. Our home is over 110 years old, and a contributing property in a historic district. We had a specific vision on what we wanted done. After obtaining multiple interview and bids from contractors, we “connected” with Melin, as he shared our vision. They were meticulous with attention to details in the prep work, and exacting with executing our paint scheme. The team treated our house like their own. They were respectful and responsive during the work. The results far exceeded our expectations!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and would definitely will hire the team again."

"Liedel Powerwashing and Painting did a phenomenal job painting our home. We have a large 1-1/2 story ranch that really needed painting. Starting with the original estimate, every member of the crew was professional. They arrived when promised, were respectful of your property and made sure that we were satisfied when they finished. We were in need of having some siding replaced before they painted and the gentleman that came by to do it completed it without any issues. We would not hesitate to recommend Liedel Powerwashing and Painting to any of your friends. The job is complete and the price was fair. We were pleased from beginning to end. This company was a true Blessing to us!"

"Dennis tore down the basement bedroom s ceiling to view and repair a water freezing issue from my Master Bath. He then repaired the issue and re-insulated the water lines going to the Master Bath. He then dry walled the open spot in the ceiling, mudded, sanded and then matched the texture of the repaired ceiling to the rest of the ceiling. Finally, he painted the entire bedroom ceiling and it looks as though nothing was done. He was prompt every day and communicated what he was doing during the whole process. He was professional and very personable and flexed around my schedule. All the work was accomplished in just 3 days!!"

"DARoofing was very patient explaining options and materials, Our roof covering had wind damage and water was pouring in,They were very helpful and prompt."
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.
