"Joshua from Five Star Painting came out measured and surveyed our deck, and provided a quote to bring it back to look new. On the appointed day, the crew arrived, introduced themselves, and started work. They power washed, stripped, sanded handrail surfaces sealed and stained our deck to include the overhead pergola, and swing (all cedar). When complete, the crew asked me to accompany them in reviewing the job. Upon my approval I thanked them for their meticulous work and attention to detail, and they left. A bit later, Joshua stopped by and reviewed the work again. He noticed a few spots the crew missed, and that I hadn't noticed either. He grabbed a brush and touched up those spots. I am very happy with the results. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the professionalism of Five Star Painting, and would highly recommend them. They earned their FIVE STAR name in my book. Thanks guys for a great job. We love our deck again."

"The job was done over the weekend. Just a few hours a day. Very good customer service."
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.
