"I would rate Scorpion Painting as the number one home painting company in Anchorage. The main reason is preparation which is 80 percent of painting a house. The detail that they go into before they paint is phenomenal !! They caulk around all the windows and corners of the house. They sand all the loose chipping paint all the way to bare wood if necessary. They cleaned out my gutters. They removed the weather strips around my garage door so they can paint behind them. I mean the list goes on and on . It’s so nice to see a company that takes such great pride in their work. They are very knowledgeable also when it comes time to paint. I just can’t say enough good things about them. If you want the job done right I recommend giving them a call."

"Overall, we were quite satisfied. I would actually rate the job as an A-/B+. They were very competitive in price, showed up on time, worked hard, worked around our schedules and requests, and cleaned up as much as they could each night. Our only complaint was that there were a considerable number of paint 'spots' on the trim and other areas that were supposed to be protected by tape. Apparently, the tape was not pressed into place correctly. I pointed out a couple of the more obvious areas, which were addressed, the remainder were not. This was not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of."

FAQs for painting projects in Cordova, AK

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.
