"We reviewed everyone on Yelp and Angie's List and got quotes from a half dozen companies for painting our home's exterior. Lenzen Contracting was the best price while also providing the most impressive estimate. They were the only company to present their business license and proof of insurance. They were the only company to provide a five year warranty to their work. Shaun is the owner, and he completed the estimate in a very detailed fashion. Where other companies wanted to charge extra for side gates or balcony railings, he included all of it. His son Rex was the contact through the process. His communication was prompt, detailed, and outstanding. He made three separate trips out to our house just to show us different paint options. When the process was slowed by weather, he was quite apologetic, even though he had no control over that. Throughout the painting, he made regular inquiries to ensure that everything was to our liking. Jose and Joseph took care of the painting, and they are true craftsmen. Positive, friendly, and efficient, they arrived early and worked late. Their attention to detail was impressive. We are extremely happy with the end result and highly recommend you use them."

"We were very pleased with Northern Ridge Painting & Remodeling and highly recommend them. We needed the outside trim of our house painted along with the shutters. Also the front door needed to be sanded, stained and re sealed. In addition we had areas of our trim removed and replaced/painted. Our home is large and it goes up quite high. Brian's team was very responsive from our first inquiry to his quick estimate. Their communication was spot on and they answered all our questions throughout the process. The whole crew was wonderful during the entire experience and cleaned up every day. The job was done in a timely manner and the work was excellent. There was a thorough walk around before the final payment to make sure everything was done properly and to our satisfaction. I would mot hesitate to call on Northern Ridge in the future."

"Steve contacted us Wednesday and Came over Friday @8am as promised to paint the walls in our kitchen which hadn't been painted since our house was built. He bought the paint and was ready to go. He didn't have to tape; he was that good. He had to put three coats on as the walls were that old and never been painted. He did a great job and would highly recommend him. I will not do any painting without him."

"Excellent and timely work. Very friendly."
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.
