"We can’t say enough good things about Bill and Mike. They finished our basement this year and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Bill kept us in the loop throughout the process and was so easy to work with. Our family was actually sad when they completed the job because we wouldn’t be seeing them regularly. Highly recommend Castle Construction!"

"I recently hired Allied Paving for paving and seal coating services, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They provided a clear and detailed estimate, explaining every step of the process and ensuring there were no surprises. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding—the paved surface is smooth, durable, and expertly finished. The seal coating not only enhanced the appearance but also provided excellent protection against wear and weather. They used high-quality materials, and it’s clear they take pride in their work. Customer service was top-notch, with great communication and a friendly crew that respected my property and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was done. I highly recommend Allied to anyone looking for reliable and professional paving or seal coating services. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "

FAQs for painting projects in Cambridge, MA

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.
