Customers say: Quality work
"We had a very pleasant experience with Kevin & Ric from Herington Painting. They were prompt, courteous, and in constant communication with me during the entire time they were on the job. They did a great job staining the exterior of our house and took special care to cover our deck, awning and landscaping to protect them from any paint drips. We are very happy with the quality of their work and would recommend them to anyone in need of painting services."

"I was very happy with the painting of my bedroom. She was on time (so many contractors are not), she was pleasant to deal with, very efficient, and left the area spotless. She finished the job ahead of schedule, which is always a plus. Will certainly spread the word about her and rehire in the future if needed. Thank you."

"Steve does excellent work. He completed work a contractor never came back to finish ( laying flooring) and fixed areas the contractor didn’t do well. Looks awesome! He put up 2 ceiling lights. He reconnected the dryer vent. Previously he installed 2 bathroom vanities and built a base so the vanities are high enough for a tall person. He’s replaced all the boards on the deck Looks fantastic. Put all new laminate floors in the kitchen, hallway and laundry room. He’s put up shelving units in the basement Anything that needs doing, large or small, Steve does extremely well. He will be returning to paint the bathrooms, replace more ceiling lights, and power wash and paint the deck. He completes work in a timely manor, he’s reliable and charges fair prices for his work. He is my go to guy for anything that needs to be done and done well. I’ve recommended him to family and friends. They have all been very pleased with his work. I highly recommend Steve."

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.
