"Barry and Paul were wonderful! Not only did they give us the best price, but they picked up the exact paint we chose and that was included. Additionally, they were prompt, friendly, and did an impeccable job with painting the room - we will definitely be working with Keane Painting again and would HIGHLY recommend!!"

"We will always use Superior Strokes for our painting needs. Pricing is always fair and Steve is extremely reliant, detail oriented, and highly skilled. We have had fences painted, our deck re-stained and our home power washed and the quality of the work is exceptional."

"Paul and his team were extremely professional, meticulous, easy to work with, and kind. They arrived early each day, put in long hours, and paid attention to details that even I had not noticed! They went above and beyond to make our house look like a brand new home— from carefully caulking cracks, painting window shutters and the garage and front door columns too. Paul checked in with questions along the way that showed how conscientious he is— from painting an exterior AC unit (an eyesore previously) to the exterior foundational wall color selection and even removing gunk around a basement window— he took his time and the work was thorough and beautiful. We requested that he strip paint from one of the columns holding up our deck to match the other columns and the result is amazing— looks exactly like the others. On top of all this, the team got the job done in great time! Not at all rushed but impressively efficient. I can't recommend Olde English Painting enough. All our neighbors keep saying our house looks so beautiful!"

"Mark and Andrew did a GREAT job!!! They painted our Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen and ceilings. They did 2 coats of paint (Benjamin Moore) with 2 contrasting colors in the Dining Room. Mark really helped us in suggesting colors and finishes. In addition, we are going to have them do some more painting in our house!!"

"We had all the interior of our home painted and some carpentry work done as well. In addition, we had our kitchen cabinets painted white to modernize the appearance. We had a railing placed in our home. The Quality of the Painting was Exceptional. The painters did an outstanding job. Their work was of high quality and detailed oriented. They were always on time and extremely neat. It was a pleasure to have the painters in our home. Our home looks refreshed and beautiful. We would hire Quality Preferred Painting again. If you want exceptional painting and carpentry work done in your home or business with a highly professional team, call Steve Austin."

"Great experience with Cassio and his crew. The project covered a staircase across three floors with high ceilings, including staining the wooden railings and painting all trims. The final result looks excellent and the quality really stands out. Work was completed on time and the space was kept clean throughout. Nice attention to detail as well, especially with caulking around trims and switches. Helpful input on color choices made the end result come together really well. Also appreciated that Cassio stopped by afterward to take care of a few small touch-ups without any hassle. Highly recommend Cassio and his crew for reliable, high-quality painting work."

"I hired Silva Express Painting after searching for a company to paint the interior of my home after we had some water damage. Chet came out quickly and looked over the job and provided me with a detailed estimate. Chet was very professional and easy to talk to-he listened to what I wanted done. The decision to go with his company was an easy one! I was able to get on his schedule rather quickly. He and his team did an excellent job! They were respectful of our property and personal space. They showed up EVERY day and ON TIME. This was not an easy job-fixing the water damage/stains, patching of nail holes, removing wallpaper, and working around all the furniture. They managed to get the job done as agreed in a very manageable timeframe. My MOM is so happy with the results as am I. She got her house back even better than expected! I was so happy with their work that I hired them to finish painting a new addition to my home. I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for painting projects in Dover, MA

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.
