"The work was good, thorough, looks good on the work, but paints started chipping off on the chimney about a year and a half ago and a little over a year ago in 2019, the blue paint on the French door was bubbling up."

"We have used Hayes painting for about 4 yrs. Started with just a paint job. Mike and his team were always professional and friendly. What started as a typical paint job, turned into a total bathroom remodel and now a kitchen. We are extremely happy with his team⠤︠Highly recommended. I have now referred his team to 5 others."

"Jeannette & John were amazing! Painted living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, upstairs & hallway. Painted all the woodwork & trim in (2) days. The crew came Monday at 8:00am & was done by Tuesday at 3:00pm. Extremely efficient & very friendly. Absolutely loved working with them. B&B is by far my favorite painting company! Highly recommend!!!"

"Pat Hennessey did an amazing job painting the interior of my home this summer. While Pat was painting my kitchen, he noticed one of my cabinets was falling off the wall and jumped right in to fix it for me so my dishes wouldnâ t fall onto the floor. He didnâ t charge me for that extra work. He also added wood to the edges of my door frames (again without charging me) so I could re-attach my dog gates without damage to the freshly-painted walls. I run a pet sitting and dog walking business, and it is important for me and the animals to know who will be working in my home. Pat is the owner and does all the work and it was nice to know that he would be the only person coming to my home during the week it took him to do the painting. Pat is down to earth and so easy to have around. I am extremely pleased with the work he did in my home. I still need two more rooms painted, and I will definitely have him back to finish the job! I highly recommend Pat Hennessey painting!"

Customers say: Quality work
"We are thrilled with the work we had done. Marlon wallpapered a high wall (cathedral ceiling) and it came out perfectly. The seams are invisible and the pattern is matched perfectly, even on the light switches he covered. Marlon also caulked and painted in our den and that job is also outstanding. He will be doing other work for us in the future."

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.
