"Very prompt response after initial contact. Specialty painting was exactly what I needed and this small owner-operated business fit the bill completely. We had an initial visit where we met & he assessed what needed to be done. He has a terrific eye for color, and matched exactly what I had. Scheduling was very soon thereafter, with no delays. The repair of the damaged portions of my 30-year old faux surface is now complete and nobody could ever tell a repair has been done, it is so seamless. Very reasonable price, as well. We expect to be working with Renaissance Revival on another job in our house."

"Paul and the Quality Paint team did an incredibly job on my historic home. We needed nearly the entire home interior painted. The team met their commitments, and the end result is beautiful! Paul is a true expert, and offered some great advice through the process for finish and approach. The process was neat and clean, and Paul kept us informed throughout the work. As I said, the finished work is beautiful and I would highly recommend Quality Paint."

"Zuck painting provided exterior painting on the trim of a duplex we own in Billerica, MA. Their management team was great with communication. Their field team showed up when they were expected, were courteous to our tenants, and provided quality work. The exterior trim looks great now and we plan on keeping Zuck painting at the top of our bidders list for future painting work."

"Roma’s remodeling is a professional company. They came to my home and painted my downstairs ceiling, fixed all the cracks in the ceiling from the house settling. Prior to painting they covered everything in my home with plastic. They also placed fencing to enclose my pool area. Roma’s remodeling come to your home, go over everything , write out an agreement with itemized expenses, and a timeline. Roma’s is a professional , punctual, and very reliable company and I highly recommend them."
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.
