"Antonio and his crew did a fabulous job. The priming and painting were meticulous and the finished product looks great. They took care in scraping the old paint where needed, and did a very professional paint job. Would highly recommend Resolution Painting and will certainly use them again on my next painting job."

"The job was painting the main level of a 3000 sq ft new house. Multiple paint colors were used and there were many cut ins. The painting was perfect and completed in record time as promised. Everything was put back just as it had been and all areas left neat and clean at night. Would definitely hire again for any painting job! The price also beat out other bids I had received."

"Wilber's Painting was able to rehab the townhouse in an adequate amount of time. He knew that special paint needed to be applied to block odors and stains, before new paint could be applied to the walls and ceiling. He fixed ceilings with water damage and repaired drywall. He worked diligently and the rehab was very successful. I highly recommend Wilber's Painting."

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.
