"CEO John was astute to our painting needs. He made positive suggestions, was flexible in scheduling, reasonable in price, prompt in follow-up. Painter Austin (sp) was professional, hard worker, good attention to detail and good cleanup skills. My household looks forward to a painting and tile connection to this small business for years to come."

"I hired Maximust painting for interior paint projects and power washing our house. They went above and beyond and power washed our walkway too which was so dirty! The painters always arrived on time and completed the jobs in a timely manner. I highly recommend!"

"Erskine was recommended by a neighbor, so I am passing along the favor. I had several projects to be done, he did an exemplary job on all of them. He was easy to work with, knowledgeable, and most of all - he took pride in his work. I’m sure he is capable of doing anything needed, but for me he capped off my stair railing, enclosed pavers in a wood frame so they can no longer shift, power washed my deck and deck furniture, power washed my walkway then painted it, and made a new threshold for my front door. He offers a free estimate, I recommend you call him."

"Requested service and same day estimate for a living room wall and a bathroom ceiling paint job. Very reasonable price and they completed the work as scheduled. It nice having a contractor/painter arrive on a date they agreed upon. After the painting was complete he even came by to touch up a problem area on my ceiling that was putting up a fight. Great communication and service and follow up. I’m already planning my next project with them so y’all get in line"

"Started off very strong, but finished weak. Great guys, but attention to detail lacking. Good for general help and would definitely use them again, but would not use them for painting detailed projects."

"I’ve been using cleaners on and off for 15 years since I started having medical issues…this was by far the best I’ve seen. The price was reasonable, clear communication, very friendly and I’ll definitely be hitting them again. Strongly recommend giving them a try."

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.
