"We reviewed everyone on Yelp and Angie's List and got quotes from a half dozen companies for painting our home's exterior. Lenzen Contracting was the best price while also providing the most impressive estimate. They were the only company to present their business license and proof of insurance. They were the only company to provide a five year warranty to their work. Shaun is the owner, and he completed the estimate in a very detailed fashion. Where other companies wanted to charge extra for side gates or balcony railings, he included all of it. His son Rex was the contact through the process. His communication was prompt, detailed, and outstanding. He made three separate trips out to our house just to show us different paint options. When the process was slowed by weather, he was quite apologetic, even though he had no control over that. Throughout the painting, he made regular inquiries to ensure that everything was to our liking. Jose and Joseph took care of the painting, and they are true craftsmen. Positive, friendly, and efficient, they arrived early and worked late. Their attention to detail was impressive. We are extremely happy with the end result and highly recommend you use them."

"Rodney at Mainecoast Painting was great to work with and kept us up to date throughout our project. They painted the ceilings and interior walls of a house where a smoker had lived and offered options to help remove the nicotine smell. They added some scents to the primer and also rented an ozone machine too and ran it in the evenings as they left. After doing all of that and painting the walls the nicotine smell has gone away!!! We completely recommend Mainecoast Painting for any of your painting projects!!! And if we ever need more painting we will definitely hire the crew again!!!"

"I hired Don to paint the downstairs interior of my new house. I hired him the Sunday before Christmas and he worked right through the holiday week and finished the job on time. His prices were extremely competitive. He also was very clean. I had the flooring contractor coming in after him and he took great care not to splash paint on the floor. He did a great job painting walls, even caulked around the window frames where he felt a draft. My family is very excited to move into our new home. Now we can feel welcomed when we walk in everyday. I plan on hiring him to paint the trim as soon as the funds open up in my budget."

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.
