"Brian and Cathy were very informative on paint colors, and which type of paint was the best. They listened and answered all my husbands many questions. They did a very good job and we were beyond pleased with the finished project. We will definitely hire them to do our outside painting and gladly recommend them to others!"

"Provided painting interior and exterior with repairs to drywall. Team was efficient and finished job in the amount of time promised. Also made sure I was satisfied if their final work and willing to redo or fix the things that I thought needed a second look. They also did some minor plumbing and repair work. Definitely would call and give a referral and use them again."

Customers say: Terrific value

"This is the 3rd time I have hired Matt. The first was to renovate the interior of my rent house. The second time was to finish the interior of the house I had built and painted the outside. This time was to roof and paint the exterior of my rent house. Matt is very fair with his pricing on work and his crew does very good work. Matt is good at working thru unforeseen problems and is easy to work with."

"Juan demoed 2 layers of tile in our kitchen/breakfast/laundry/pantry area in record time and removed the debris very timely. Based on all our previous contractors, this was a small miracle! He retiled all plus our kitchen backsplash and did a really good job. I've paid other contractors much more $$ for our bathroom remodels and was much less pleased with their work. He is great at picking/cleaning up every evening when he is done for the day. Very nice and unexpected. He also replaced and painted all our baseboards. He worked with our schedule and around our holiday. Amazing value for $$. He's very trustworthy and actually does what he says he will do! Wish I would have found him sooner."

FAQs for painting projects in Cleveland, TX

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.
