"Revive Pro was a pleasure to work with. The owners were professional and easy to work with. The employees who painted our house were great and did a great job! We hired them to paint a large portion of the interior of our house, and we plan to hire them again in the future when we finish the painting. I could tell they wanted it to be right if they are going to put their name on it."

"Was subcontracted out. Men didn't speak English. Left a paint mess in the kitchen sink with paint clothes. Little paint spatters along the floor walls as if no drop cloth. Several item had paint on, such as towel racks, door knobs, etc. for this expensive of a job I expected better. I was offered a $200 discount."

"After having had a terrible experience with another painter, we decided to contact Color World through Angi. From our initial contact, we were very pleased with the promptness and professionalism of Gary Sheffer and his company. They did our job exactly as requested at a very reasonable price. Gary’s crew was polite, efficient and easy to work with. Best of all, they completed the job in only three days. We could not be happier with Color World Painting. Highly recommend!"

"I had to have them come back out twice to fix some issues. They got paint on the carpet and left paint on almost all of the outlets. Owner was friendly and quick to respond when I called, but I felt like he should have come back to see what his crew did BEFORE I had to bring it to his attention."

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.
