"I was very pleased with the work that South End Painting did. Out of the 3 painting companies that I received estimates from, their estimate was the most reasonable and they were able to get the job done right away. This was a FULL 3-day job and on day one, a crew of 2 showed up and I was promised a larger crew. I notified my sales guy and to my delight, a crew of 5 showed up on the next 2 days. They were very hard working guys and they did a great job! Their wall patching was superb! One regret that I have is not removing the ceiling registers before they came, because they paint around them. I bought new vents (you don't realize how bad your vents look until that ceiling gets a fresh coat of paint!) but many of the new vents don't match up perfectly and fixing all this will require a lot of time and effort, so I'll probably just take the new vents back to the store. So if you are having ceilings painted, take out your registers before the painters come! But I would not hesitate to hire this company again - they did a great job and I am enjoying my freshly painted house!"
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.
