"I cannot say enough great things about the owner of Altract painting, Zack, and his team. They showed up on time every day, worked all day, cleaned up at the end of each day, and kept my home spotless throughout the entire project. I have a large home and they did the entire interior. They finished in the exact amount time Zack told me. I also received the full written estimate the same day Zack came out, which was a big deal because everyone else took several days to send theirs in. The cut in lines are immaculate and the colors recommended by Zack came out amazing. Altracts attention to detail from the initial bid to the completion of the job was great. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of painting and I will have them back out in the fall to do my exterior. A huge thanks to Altract Painting for making my home look brand new! And thank you Zack!!"

"Good with communication & time, paint matched & looked great! If I need any painting jobs, this is who Iâ ll call."
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.
