"Chris responded immediately. Came to my home on a Sunday and he & his crew started the next Tuesday. I never thought I could have my home painted in 8 days. From start to finish, he & his crew were here promptly at 8am. From the prep to the final coat of paint, they were professional and thorough. Not a spot of paint on my brand new floors. The price I was quoted was the price I paid. It was worth every penny. I plan on hiring them again for my kitchen and bathroom redo....I highly recommend that you do too!"

"BRAVO !!! I am thrilled with the beautiful painting job done by Regal Custom Painting at my home in Pocasset (Cape Cod) MA. The two Regal painters were courteous, careful to keep my gate closed, were pleasant, and did a PROFESSIONAL JOB for me. I had peeling paint on the windowsills ... metal baseboard registers that were showing their age, etc. Emerson, the owner, explained the process to paint the ceiling, walls, doors, and windows, baseboards ... using primer, sanding, etc. Additionally, I had newly installed flooring ... of course, one should have the painting done first ... then new floors installed, but I had to grab the floor installation date or wait until later in the Summer Not a problem, said Emerson, and sure enough, my new floors did not have any paint transfer to them while the baseboards were painted. I will be calling to have my Shed stained by Regal next! Highly recommend! Beautiful job using Ben Moore quality paint."

"FCL is an amazing company. From the owner Felipe to the rest of his crew, professionalism was evident. Punctual and exceptional quality of work. When one color of paint was not the color my wife like, FCL returned to apply another coat of the paint that my wife wanted. No problem. Felipe was very accommodating and we were totally satisfied. I strongly recommend FCL. We will use them again!"

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.
