"Tim Cline and his crew from All Pro Painting did a great job painting the exterior of my house and staining a screened in porch. They were always professional and did outstanding work. I would definitely hire them again for future work and would definitely recommend them to anyone else."

"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."

"Splash of Colors painted the interior and exterior of my house back in 2008. Wally did a superior job so there was no question that I would call him back again for my current painting needs. I sincerely appreciate his prompt and professional service and I highly recommend him! Splash of Colors is the BEST!"

"I was in a pinch and needed my bedroom painted. Also painted my mother’s house before she moved. BTP came out and gave a very competitive quote both times. Exceeded my expectations. Thanks for making it easy."

"Eric Painted all of the interior of my tri level home. He was kind, professional, and very detail oriented. He went above and beyond, making sure that every wall and ceiling were meticulously coated. This was not an easy task since my walls were going from being green and red to all white! This is the best paint job my home has ever had! I will definitely use his services again in the future and refer him to everyone I know. Thanks again, Eric!"

"Jose and his crew did an excellent job on our house! I must say, I was a little apprehensive in hiring a painter as I would not be present to oversee the work. However, Lisa in his office kept us well informed of the progress and even sent me some pictures as the work was being completed. The end result was a beautifully painted home and a good price, the lowest quote of four that I received. Jose accommodated my requests, used the specific paint I wanted and even completed the job two days ahead of schedule. I would definitely recommend Jose and his crew."

"They did an amazing job painting sentimental pieces of furniture and bringing them a new life to be passed down in our family. Took his time, brought 3 different types of sample paint and allowed me to sit with a decision as to which one I liked for as long as I needed. Very professional company. Highly recommend!"

"Wow! That's the word that describes Brian Martin of Power House Painting and his crew that did this project! We first used Power House to do the spray washing on our house--every year for the last 3 or 4 years.  Due to the height of our house we needed professional assistance--and they were super.  When I heard that Brian had expanded his business to include interior repairs and painting I called him for an estimate. He came by within 2 days and we discussed what we would like them to do--we received the estimate within 2 days again.
They started the following week--a Monday through Friday job.  As our ceilings are 18 feet in the living room and foyer, this was a tough job to do with the dry wall tape and painting at the top.  Brian's crew was spectacular--they arrived promptly each day, worked consistently each day, and our house was as clean each day at the end of the day as it was in the morning. They were so friendly, professional, and it was clear their goal was to do a fantastic project.  They even kept an eye on our pet when the weather turned bad.
We've had interior contracting before, and we have to say this is the first time that I could not find anything to build what is called a punch list.  Of course there were a few things that always need touch up, however literally those were done in minutes.  I want to thank Brian for the continued professionalism, support, and quality of the jobs his company has done for us.  Special shout out to Leroy, Kevin, and Cathy for the hard, tough work, and the absolutely 100%, flawless workmanship--your pride in what you do shows!!!

FAQs for painting projects in Chesapeake, VA

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.
