"Luis did an amazing job painting our apartment for a very reasonable price. He is punctuate, good with communication, and very professional. He even did some extra paint and patching things here and there without us asking him to. I can’t ask for more. Highly recommend Luis for any paint job."

"Eligio and his team did an INCREDIBLE job painting my bedroom! It had very high ceilings and have no been painted since moving in in 2008. It looks pristine. He did such a good job that I hired them to paint the rest of my house. They made the walls look perfect!! I highly recommend them and will definitely reach out again if I need anything else painted. Eligio was also very nice and easy to schedule with. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you Skage painting!!!"

"Couldn't be happier with the work Bruno and his team did on our store ahead of opening. He was incredibly accommodating throughout, including taking care of the door frame along with the main paint job — the space looks completely refreshed, and the whole experience was smooth and professional. Highly recommend, would hire again"

"I am really happy with a caulking and paint job that was done at my home. The company gave me a fair price which was a factor that helped me make my decision. The owner was very thorough when he explained the caulking and painting process. The team was very professional. They arrived on time every day and was respectful of my property. I am really happy with their work. I feel confident that the quality of their work will prevent water from seeping through my window frames. Great job!"

"Luis did a fantastic job. I needed a custom built in bookcase painted. When he came for the initial consultation he walked me through his process, showed me exactly what he was going to do and actually cleaned up and improved some of the details that the carpenters were not attentive to. He also painted 4 cabinet doors for other parts of my home as well. Great to work with!"

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.
