"Very professional from the beginning to the end. The paint job in my house was beyond my husband and myself expectations. He matched the paint perfectly and the trim work was perfect. I will call Javier painting first before I call anyone else."

"I was in need of immediate painting for a new office I was moving into. The Express team not only responded quickly to my request on Angi but came out the very next day to give me an estimate and then began the work within a couple of days! Painting was well done and my office respected—cleaned up as if they’d never been there. Highly recommend Express Yourself Paint."

"We’ve used International Painting several times over the years and they always deliver excellent, high quality results on time and on budget. Last week they power washed our house, deck, and driveway; painted the foundation; stained the deck; resealed the driveway; and repainted front entrance. We’re delighted that our 30-year old home looks brand new! Fermin and his team are prompt, polite, and professional. Fermin shared his insurance without asking and the team cleaned up every day. We’re extremely happy and will use International Painting again in the future for some interior work."

"We rate this company a 10! Jeff was fast coming out here and gave us a quote the same day. He is wonderful to work with and extremely up to date on colors and trends . He knew what I wanted before I did! JLP did not only paint our entire house top to bottom, they remodeled our kitchens cabinets and backsplash. We now have an amazing pantry cabinet built with real wood and hand made. We love love it. The crew showed up everyday on time and worked all day till done. They were always there to help or consult. Thanks Stacy, Bryan and JT for everything. Bottom line: Hire JLP, You will not be sorry. BTW, they are coming back to do our master bath!!!"

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.
