"This company did a great job from scheduling to the end of the job. Pat, who did the estimate, was on time, courteous and answered all my questions. He made sure I knew how long the job would take, how much paint was required, and how to prepare the area. The two-man painting crew arrived on time and got right to work. They were meticulous and ensured drop clothes were on our hardwood floors. They also covered all the handrails and the hardwood stairs. Not a paint drop anywhere and they didn't use my sink even though we offered! They were also super fast. The work was done a half day early! Will definitely use them again.

"This company is awesome! They painted my house inside and out flawlessly! They also installed gorgeous vinyl plank flooring and carpet. I can’t say enough about the quality of the work! Workers were great and very efficient. The only glitz was in communication and that was partially because I’m difficult to reach. Would definitely give them a high recommendation!"

"We had walls, ceilings and trim painted in our Master Bedroom, Walk-in Closet, Master Bath, Living Room, Dining Room. Also, trim only in entrance hall and 2nd floor hall. Chesapeake Painting Services was one of 3 estimates we obtained. The estimator was knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. The proposal was very professional and the estimator was very responsive about tweaking it based on my feedback. The pricing was very competitive, especially once a winter discount was factored in. (They are much less busy from December thru February.) The actual job went extremely well. The painters were friendly, professional, and respectful of my house. They were perfectionists who wanted to be sure the job was done RIGHT. The company president stopped by twice to be sure we were satisfied. The final results showed that obsession with quality: beautiful all around! Excellent experience."

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.
