"I had Garvey Painting paint the interior and exterior of a three-season room. They did great work. The trim around the windows and the door is very clean. The crew was friendly and polite and they even put all my furniture back better than how they found it! They also worked on cleaning and staining a wood beam in the house that had old spackle or paint from a previous owner. I had tried to clean it myself but could not. They made the beam look brand new! I would definitely recommend Mike and plan on calling them for my next project."

"Excellent communications between the vendor and me, as well as with his workers. The scope of work was clearly defined, as were the costs. As with most home maintenance projects, there can be a surprise or two; these were handled graciously and effectively. I am picky about paint work, and the quality of the crown molding installation as well as all of the painting was beautiful - not one brush mark in the glossy crown molding. It was a pleasure working with Hayes Painting, Inc., and I would surely hire them again, as well as recommend them to others. I would also say that Mr. Hayes treats his employees with respect and provides a mentoring environment with younger workers, while not micro-managing his experienced workers. It was a pleasure to have these people in my home."

"I was referred to R Jones Painting by a friend. Hugo was fantastic to work with. He and his team painted 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Some of the rooms required removal of wallpaper. Hugo was on-site working side by side with his crew. The crew was professional, on time, neat, and hard working. We were very happy with the quality of the work and the end result."

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.
