"I am very, very happy with the work JH painting did in my home. I needed to have the interior of my 4 bedroom rental property painted. Mr. Taurino reached out to me immediately after I submitted my request on Angie’s List. He was very professional and patient with me because I had a lot of questions about the job. Pleasantly to my surprise JH under the supervision of Mr. Taurino did a tremendously job. They moved and covered furniture prepped the walls by patching all the dents and holes. I recommend JH Painting (Mr. Taurino) to anyone looking for a true professional painting contractor. Thank you JH Painting Services. God bless you and your crew."

"Mr Rafferty went beyond expectations. He power washed my house, sanded and painted all wood trim on the house, and repaired then painted dry wall inside my house. Mr Rafferty was punctual and he cleaned up his work area before he left. I’d highly recommend Mr Rafferty for hoo ooo me improves."

"Rudy painted the entire exterior of my home, including the roof. The roof is standing-seam metal on a steep 8/12 pitch. I searched for six months for a contractor who could and would do the whole job. Everyone wanted to do the wood siding, porches, window and door of a 3800 square foot house, a sizable job. No one, including roofers wanted to do the roof. Rudy agreed to do it all at a reasonable price, and to do it the way I specified, I spent over 25 years as an active, developer, renovator, and builder in Washington DC. In order to paint the roof he had to apply a rust-eating primer, 2 coats within 20 minutes just to prepare the roof. The entire job was completed on time and to my complete satisfaction, I was so pleased that I had him paint my 2-story garage, and coat my rear deck. Rudy has since done excellent work on other jobs for me including: - Painted the exterior and the roof of a 2-story townhouse on Capitol Hill. - Painted the exterior window and door trim and concrete lintels of another 2-story townhouse, while carefully cutting in all the work around the natural brick fade. Recently painted the entire interior of 1900 square feet. - 3-story townhouse on Columbia Heights, DC: Painted the entire exterior. Painted 2 apartments, and repaired duct work - Painted the interior of my neighbors house in preparation for sale.The house sold in 1 week. Rudy will continue to do all of my paint work."

FAQs for painting projects in Brentwood, MD

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.
