Customers say: Terrific value
"I recently hired them for painting the walls in 3 rooms in my new home, and I am very satisfied with the exceptional service they provided. Not only were they affordably priced and adhered to their initial estimate, but they also accommodated my tight schedule, completing the project on the only day I could spare. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, showcasing their expertise and attention to detail. Communication was seamless, with prompt and responsive interactions whenever I reached out. Additionally, they left my home perfectly clean, reflecting their commitment to professionalism. I highly recommend this painter for anyone seeking top-notch service and outstanding results, and may hire them again for other rooms in my home!"

"I've used Brackettry Custom Homes more than once for large home projects. Daryl is very professional and reasonable with his prices. He constantly communicates with you and keeps you updated on the progress of the project. He offers excellent suggestions on home improvement details and uses his vast experience to make sure the end results are great. Daryl is very selective about the people he uses and is very respectful of your home while working in it. I felt super comfortable with allowing his team to be in my home unsupervised. His goal is always to have a satisfied customer, so he will work with you every step of the way. Definitely recommend Daryl from Brackettry LLC for all home improvements large or small. In the end, he removed carpeting, installed over 2 tons of bamboo hardwood flooring, stained and painted new stairs and railings, and painted large 2 story family room. Top notch work!"

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.
