"Guaranteed Renovations is will give you a prompt and professional experience! They are extremely knowledgeable, honest and pleasant to work with. We have a metal roof that is only 4 years old that had paint peeling off everywhere. They instantly recognized that primer had not been applied and that the wrong paint for metal was used. Job well done. Highly recommend these guys!"

"Marvin was transparent and helpful from the very start, making our first home improvement project experience a great one. The remodel consisted of: removing the wall that separated the vanity from the toilet and shower, removing the bathtub, enlarging the space by moving another wall a few inches (so we could get a double sink), moving the toilet to create more space for a larger shower, installing shower (to the ceiling) and floor tile, adding a niche, installing glass shower doors, installing the new vanity and toilet, etc. I mean, seriously, is there anything Marvin and his crew canâ t do? Marvin was also great at giving us suggestions on tile shapes and paint colors. We felt very comfortable asking for his opinion when we could not decide on something or were unsure. I canâ t even begin to express how happy we are with the finished product â itâ s perfect! The whole process (including other projects such as installing new closet doors, patching drywall and painting a different bathroom, and painting our primary bedroom) took a little under two weeks. We are so impressed with Marvin and his crew and canâ t wait to work with them again in the future. HIGHLY recommend."

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.
