"Ron Laster was professional from the first contact which was nearly immediately after I submitted a request for a quote. His crew of 2 ( Curtis and JR) were very through and took careful measures when painting our home. Ron was always on time and pricing was right on track with my budget. He stuck to the plan and was always double checking his work to make sure it was done right. If not.... he would make it right which was hardly ever the case, He was always spot on with every step. My home is absolutely beautiful now. Inside and out. GREAT JOB, Ron Laster and crew!!!!!! Very happy with all that they did. Thanks a million ! would hire again and again."

"Fantastic work. Extremely nice and trustworthy people, very fairly priced and stuck with their original quote. They do what they say they will. Very pleased with the work and price! Mark was the first contractor that we hired who stuck with the original estimate, which is amazing! I wasn't entirely comfortable with hiring someone I found on the internet, but we got a good feeling about Mark right away, and we're so glad we found him."

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.
