"Very highly recommend! We initially hired them to paint over a custom paint job from previous owner. They did such a beautiful job that we hired them for the entire interior of our home. They work as a painting team and worked very hard, moving furniture, painting walls, high ceilings and trim. They made two trips to bring paint samples when we expanded the job. Great communication and excellent work!"

"Needed to sand and stain a mid-century style wood ceiling on a short timeline due to other work scheduled immediately after the project. Rubumco did an excellent job of prepping all the rooms, carefully protecting the existing painting walls, before they carefully sanded with dust collection equipment to keep everything clean. They did a great job of touching up ceiling beams and making crisp paint lines to make the ceiling really pop. Will definitely use Rubumco in the future for other paint work."

"I am thrilled with the quality of Miguel's work. From start to finish - great attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, thorough cleanup and protection of our plants and decor - I cannot recommend NW Accurate Painting highly enough!! I would not hesitate to hire Miguel again for future painting work - even if he is super busy, he's worth the wait."

"The crew started with a large 2-story 1975 wood house that had been badly scrapped & painted multiple times. Mario arranged for a skilled carpenter to re-build & replace rotten wood. His crew worked tirelessly to sand, fill and paint with a white semigloss paint. White and semigloss showed every imperfection. The crew went back to re-sand and re-paint spots. They repaired the stuccoed chimney. It was a labor intense project. Today, the house looks beautiful. Mario gently listened and then executed my detailed request. Mario is professional and easy to work with."

"Shawn and his team were great to work with. They painted, in 2018, house interior. We have 18-foot ceilings which made it challenging and they got it done. They painted new kitchen cabinets and 80-year-old hutch. Everything looked great. We will be using them for exterior paint job this summer 2019."

"Shawn and his crew were amazing. Had a good sized group of guys and painted my house in two days. Very responsive and helpful in the planning process. Set me up with Rodda for samples prior and the guys at Rodda were super helpful in helping me pick my colors as well. Even recommended a contractor who was able to put trim on my windows at the last minute a couple days before painting. 5 stars all around!! Highly recommend!"

"David was very good at fixing any concerns that I had. The job was done very quickly. My only complaint and I kind of feel like I'm being picky, is that they did not clean up all of the paint pieces that came off the house. I believe anyone would be happy if they chose David to paint their house."

"Total Innovation Partners gave us a quote in a matter of days. Their bid was lower than others we requested. The crew pressure washed our home and painted a couple of days later. They were super nice and professional and the painting turned out great."

"I highly recommend Chris at Eastside Emerald Home Repair! Chris totally remodeled my kitchen & as a result of how great that looks, I had him work on many other smaller projects. Chris is a great communicator, reliable, trustworthy, and creative w/ challenging situations. He is a professional who often exceeds expectations (he can be a perfectionist!). I've referred him to a few friends, who have also been extremly pleased w/ his work. Chris charges a reasonable rate, for the professional job you'll receive. And on top of that, he's also a really nice guy to work with - I can't recommend Chris enough! ð"

FAQs for painting projects in Arlington, WA

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.
