"Not a whole lot of communication with the employees/boss. One guy showed up and worked alone ALL day the first day. I remembered I had something important to do the next morning and told the employee I was not going to be home. He did not communicate this to the owner and they showed up while I was out of town. They came back the following day and this time it was a team of 2. They worked through about 11 am and said it had to dry they would return between 2-4 that afternoon. They were a no call, no show. I tried calling the owner 2-3 times. My husband called me to pick him up and I couldn't because I was waiting for painters. Finally connected with owner late afternoon. They showed up the next morning and went in to paint and told me they had told the owner they weren't going to make it back the day before and asked said owner to call me (he didn't). I went in to show them some running areas from the day before and they had painted RIGHT OVER the runs. When I pointed it out they got sand paper and sanded over the wet paint they had just applied. I did a final walk through and it looked great when they were finished but when I went to put my blinds back up I found an area at the window where they had handed tools etc out the window and actually dinged and pulled up a small area of the paint. It ended up looking alright but it took 3 days to paint 1 small bedroom."

"Jeremy was very responsive in my request for an estimate. His ability to take the time to explain his process and his actual estimate made me decide to repaint my cabinets much sooner than I had intended. He does take pride in his work and I am very satisfied with the results. I can honestly say that he exceeded my expectations in how quickly he was able to deliver the desired results. Thank You Jeremy"

"I want everyone to know that Whitestone Painters stand out for their customer satisfaction policy. We first had our interior painting done in Nov 2015 and I noticed that there was a problem with the paint, so I called and Ernie came right out. He agreed there was indeed a problem and said no problem, they would come back and repaint the rooms at my convenience, which they did this week. I never had a complaint with their quality of work, because they did an amazing job. It ended up that the paint was not washable as requested. They truly do stand by their customer satisfaction 100% and I will use them again the next time I need a job done. The painters were polite and treated my home as if it was theirs which really impressed me. I highly recommend Whitestone & you will not be disappointed !!"

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.
