"I hired Oliver Home Repair to paint four interior rooms. His crew did an excellent job of prepping and painting. The job was completed in a timely manner. His crew showed up every day on time as promised and did a good job of cleaning up afterwards."

Here at Riggins Painting, we do things a little different. Many paint contractors see their customers like an invoice instead of a person. They treat your home or business like a 'job site' and are always in a rush to the next project. We don't see things that way. Our goal is to treat every customer with the respect and detail that we would want to be treated with. Instead of rushing through 'jobs' we see each project as an opportunity to make our clients happy.

"Everything was pressure washed and examined before any work started. All of the wood repairs were done and then painting began. Two men were assigned to our job but on some days only one worked (Daniel, and he was EXCELLENT). We had a delay to our start date due to weather, and another weather delay in the middle of the job, but Daniel did a great job of keeping in touch and keeping me informed about when he would and would not be here and what he could and could not do each day. Trash and debris were cleaned up every day before they left, and when the job was complete there was no sign they'd been here other than a freshly repaired & painted house! Daniel did excellent work and made sure I was satisfied with everything done during each step of the process. Adam, the main contact at CertaPro and the one who did my estimate, is very friendly and professional. I enjoyed meeting him and discussing our project needs with him. He was very cooperative and helpful and made adjustments to our proposal as needed when I had questions or needed to make a change. Email response time was sometimes painfully slow, but overall the whole experience was straightforward and without complications. There was one small communication issue regarding our project start date (delayed because of weather but not communicated to me until 10pm the night before when I asked an unrelated question) but it was the only hiccup in the process and everything went smoothly after that. All work was done according to the estimate and our discussions and there were no surprises or extra charges along the way. I especially liked that I didn't have to pay them ANY money until the job was complete and I signed off on it. Our house and fence are now in great shape and look beautiful and I'm VERY pleased. I would hire them again and will recommend them to anyone I know who needs this type of work done."

"Juan was great! He quoted me a fair price to paint my kitchen walls, ceiling, and kitchen cabinets. He did an excellent job and my kitchen looks brand new. I will definitely be using Juan again in the near future."

"My husband and I just recently purchased a home and wanted to add our touches. We hired Alex to paint the house and paint the kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Alex did an excellent job. The cabinets came out beautiful and the paint job on the house was great. He made sure that my floors and counters were protected. He was able to finish the job within the given time frame as well. I will definitely hire Alex again for future projects!"

"They were professional from the very start. Quoted me a fair price and the work looked amazing. Repaired everything I asked appropriately! Highly recommend Paul and his wife for your next repair or install!"
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.
