"Contractor was timely responding and fitting our work into their schedule. Workmanship was of moderate quality - large spaces and seams done well, small bathroom and inside corners were less than well done. They were expensive, but my job was on the smaller side (not entire house) and a renovation, so we didn t have another choice within our timeline."

"I have been waiting to write a review so I could show some pictures of our house but I can’t seem to get it all together at once. Transylvania and Brian came in after we had a fire in May of 24. We contacted them after another contractor was turned down by our insurance company and within 3 weeks they had gotten approval and was the main contractor for painting, flooring and everything that goes with putting a 1800+ sq ft home back in order. They answered phone calls and returned calls when they didn’t. I would hire them again anytime."

"We are a retired senior couple in South Salem. We hired N W Painting Company to paint the exterior of our three bedroom, 1500 sq ft. home. The owner operator Martin E. Llamas Frasuto offered the estimate with lowest price. He and his assistant did a marvelous job. Their workmanship was impeccable. They were professional, courteous, attentive, and responsive to every request and concern. The project was finished in the time frame promised. I heartily recommend their work to others seeking a house painting contractor."

"These guys are awesome! John was very punctual with his work and very professional. This was my second experience with Mid Valley and I recommend them to everyone I know. I got numerous bids from contractors and John stood out to me with his overall knowledge and it seemed like he really listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond to make it happen. I have been burned by contractors in the past, but Mid Valley Builders restored my faith. I look forward to working with them again at my new house and already have projects for them."

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.
