"My husband and I had the outside of hour house painted by Robinson Painting about two weeks ago. The whole process went very well. I can't recommend Robinson Painting enough. Ren and his crew were not only very professional but they were very friendly and approachable as well. Ren responded to any questions we had within a few hours of contacting him (and many times within minutes!). The his crew worked quickly, completed on time and did an excellent job. We are very happy with the quality of the work. After completing the work, Ren walked around the house with us to look for issues and to determine if we were happy. We had one small issue and when I contacted him, he came by the next morning and fixed the issue. He and his crew are very good and work to make sure their customers are happy with the work. Not only did we get wonderful service, but his prices are very reasonable as well. Thank you Ren! We appreciate you and your crew very much. We would hire Robinson Painting again."

"Jay’s painting crew did a phenomenal job prepping and painting our house. They were very meticulously organized and looked at details that needed work before painting. They found dry rots that I didn’t even know it was there until they pointed it out. I really appreciate that they were very honest on the pricing of everything they replaced. Jay even helped us and suggested painting option. They catered to all the things we asked for and more. Overall work was fantastic and price was great! I give Jays paint services 5 full star!!!"

"We had the entire interior of our home painted. The painters came in and prepped the house for two days before painting. They patched and taped all of the appropriate areas and then painted with two coats of paint. The results are fantastic and we are very pleased. We definitely recommend Top Quality Painting for interior painting services."

"The Hire My Husband team did a great job with our interior painting project. The scope of the project was multiple rooms and different paint colors. The entire team was professional, personable, and responsive. The job was completed on time and on budget and that is rare for most home repair or remodel projects. The scheduling team communicated with us every step of the way. When issues arose they were resolved creatively and quickly!! If an aspect of the job was beyond their expertise they had a ready list of highly qualified referrals. I highly recommend Hire My Husband for any of your home repair or painting projects."

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.
