"Amazing experience!! Alfredo was very skilled, meticulous, and did a fantastic job with the interior painting we needed for our new home. He not only painted the perfect color with high quality paints, but repaired the walls, ceiling, and trim to a brand-new state. He was extremely easy to work with, even working around our vacation schedule as needed. We would highly recommend Alfredo without reservation to anyone who needs painting (or other work) and plan to hire him again when we are ready to re-paint other spaces."

"If you need a professional painting job, look no further! “Eagles Painting & Decorative” was fast, efficient, and very reasonably priced. They handled my entire project with care and precision, and I was blown away by how clean they left everything. Couldn’t be happier with the results!"

"Taulant did a great job with my small drywall project. He arrived last Saturday morning and finished the job later that afternoon. I will do my own painting and I'm confident it will look seamless once painted. I strongly recommend him"

"Rodrigo was polite and nice. He gave me a good price . He was prompt and the work looks great. I had a small walkout deck that needed to be cleaned and painted stained. I had it painted. Rodriguez explained to me the process and time He explained to me the paint and that it would provide protection for deck. I like being informed on time lines and process. The deck looks so great my neighbor ask for his number as well. I m very happy. I have several jobs that I plan to hire him. Thanks so much Rodrigo and home advisor for sending me a reliable person. I m a new , first time home owner and I m a bit nervous about everything. Glad now I have my Painting and etc company"

"Hired AllStar Painting & Contractor to stain my 6' wood privacy fence. I'd started to do the job myself, but after starting the job and doing hours of work and nowhere near finished, realized I'd rather have a pro do the job. Johnel from AllStarcame to my house, reviewed my project, gave quote very promptly. His price was competitive with others who gave me a quote. Today, 2 painters showed up as promised 8am, and were FINISHED with the entire job in 4 hours! They were polite, neat, respoectful of my outdoor plants, did a wonderful job (better than I could have done, plus in much less time). They're pros! They have lots of experience, let them handle it! I would hire this pro again for an indoor painting project, and highly recommend them for s project similar to my project. Competitive pricing, they do a great job, are professional, neat and courteous."

"We absolutely love Luis's professionalism, kindness, and honesty. When Luis approached me on Angi, to be honest, I was not sure, simply how little review he has. But like any great business or profile, it needs to start somewhere.... and I am so glad we hired Luis to paint and stain our deck. When we were getting estimates, many people have given all kind of estimates. Some will only do one coat, some won't even sand for us. But Luis came in with saying he would do everything with a very competitive price. Besides, everything that he shared with us about how to treat the wood or types of paint is on point (I did my own research too). Last but most importantly, Luis is not pushy at all, he provide his professional opinion and lets you decide! So glad we found Luis, and we are already talking about using him again for our fence. Bot side of our neighbor were so impress with our 'new' deck and want to engage Luis too."

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.
