"Totally went above and beyond.  Short turnaround time.  Great recommendations on colors based on what I shared I was looking for.  I went with what was suggested and it turned out perfectly!  A few things came up day of which they handled with ease.  From my realtor suggesting we put a kick plate on the front door before they paint it--which the painters went to Home Depot to pick up and install before painting--to my realizing the basement, not originally included in estimate, could really use a few touch ups which they took care quickly and for a very fair price--including filling a small crack in the concrete floor and then painting it and painting exposed pipes.  The team on site was really friendly, timely, and detail oriented.  They even took down a chandelier I was planning on replacing so they could do thorough paint job.  Project was done on time and on budget and I was kept in the loop from initial visit to finish.  I really appreciate all the extras they took care of beyond just painting.  Have already recommended to friends and I will use them again as soon as I find something to paint!"

"Taurino did a fantastic job with my interior painting and expertly handled some external repairs and painting as well. Not only did he use his discount paint card to save me a lot of money, but his pride in workmanship is clear in the quality of the results. I would gladly hire him again."

"I have hired Mr. Mendez for five different interior paint projects, including kitchen cabinets, house interior, and condo interior to ready for renting and selling. He is amazing! Very trustworthy, great attention to detail, and very reasonable pricing. I would hire him again and again (and I have!) and recommend him highly for all your painting needs!"

"Benjamin came today to paint my porch. Was through and professional as he sanded, primed and painted it. Was always pleasant and answered any questions I had. Did not leave a mess and costs were not excessive. Was able to complete job in a day with time between priming and painting. Would recommend him."

"Marvin and crew did an excellent job painting the exterior of our house. They scraped the old paint and painted several layers to make sure completely covered. They even repaired some rotten wood at chimney. I would highly recommend.continental home improvements!"

FAQs for painting projects in Capitol Heights, 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.
