"The paint crew worked for four days. They arrived on time each day and worked full days except for lunch. Very satisfied with the work product and a reasonable price. I plan to hire them again to paint the upstairs bedrooms and baths."

"Carnival Painting did a great job painting my home. The paint coating was thick and just beautiful. The neighbors were commenting on how great of a job they did also. The person leading the work crew was really great in explaining everything to me and helping talk through the decisions I had to make. He really went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with the job. The whole crew was really nice and intent on getting the job done. I highly recommend them."

"We got three different quotes to paint the front facade of our three-story stucco house. All three were in the same price range, so it came down to other things. Above all, CertaPro's quote was the most detailed and they were able to answer all of our questions in a professional and timely manner. We knew what we were getting because the quote was so clear. They arrived on time for the quote and took measurements (others didn't). They gave us an idea of how long the process would take, gave us a few add-on options and prices for them. We declined all of the add-ons, but never felt like we were being pressured to do any of them. We weren't in a hurry to get the work done, so it was about a month or so after we signed the contract before work began. However, they did call us earlier when they had an opening, but we weren't able to work out those dates in their schedule. We were very appreciative of the option, though! The painters took three days (more like two and a half) and arrived spot on at 8 am every morning. On the third day, they finished while we were gone and we noticed a few minor spots, and they came back out that same day to finish up. Overall, a really great experience and we would recommend them to anyone needing their house painted.

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.
