"We are so glad that we found Phillips Pro Painting! They were quick, professional, kind, and had excellent communication. We actually added more space for them to paint once we saw their work. We will definitely be working with them again!"

"Excellent service. David and his team did a wonderful job sanding down my flaked trim and then putting on two fresh coats. I also used David's Tree Service to remove some shrubs from the side of the house. The crew worked carefully and efficiently. Fair and competitive pricing. I would recommend Torres Painting and Torres Tree Service."

"Joe, the owner-operator, got our job done in short order and to our complete satisfaction. He did an awesome job prepping, priming and repainting our exterior steel railings and fencing that had been damaged the year before by a shoddy contractor. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome or a more cooperative painting contractor."

"This company was very easy to work with. The original estimate was detailed and very reasonable. When we needed to change a line item, the company updated the estimate within the hour. And still it was a reasonable estimate . The painter was amazing. He attended to detail. He put in many hours each day. We were surprised our 2 story home was painted in 3 days. And it was painted with care and detail. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to help anyone with a home improvement project."

Customers say: True professional
"Absolutely first rate. Not cheap, but if you want the best in home remodeling, Andy Scott and his father, Roger, is who you go to. Professional, punctual, always on top of things, a delight to be around. This was a five week project. Andy and Roger did a lot of the work themselves, but they also used high quality subs: flooring, tile, plumbing, cabinet doors, electrical, painting the kitchen cabinets and credenza (CR Painting-not often you can find a painter who does first class work on cabinets). I would have never been able to find and coordinate the level of skilled professionals that Andy did. The project went smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely hire Scott's Home Renewal again -- and I will.

It can be a daunting task looking for only the right contractor for your job but also the right contractor for you. We completely understand what you're going through. We know every customer has different desires, different needs and different schedules. We're only here to turn your ideas into reality but to make it a memorable experience every step of the way. Call us right now, no matter where you are in the planning process.
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.
