"We were referred to Painting Plus from a friend who had a great experience. They just finished painting the interior of our new home, and did a fantastic job. There were on time for the quote, followed up quickly, started up the day after we provided the paint colors, and kept coming back until the job was finished. During the work, they were very careful about covering floors and furniture, and the finished product looked great. We would highly recommend."

"Justin was here on time to asses the project and work within our budgets. Oscar and a team did a great job painting the house, shed and utility shed. All work was done in a thorough but timely manner. Super happy with results! We changed colors from semi-transparent stain to solid color in a middle of the painting since house was not looking the way we were expecting. We did some sample staining prior but it is hard to predict how stain will turn out on a big picture. Peak Pro Painting worked with us on changes, helped pick up new colors and adjust the budgets. The house is tall A-frame, so it was not an easy job by any means too. Weather in the mountains is also unpredictable but crew managed to work around thunderstorms. Great service and great results!"

"Alan and team were super responsive and easy to work with. They fixed a hole in our ceilings and repainted/textured them as well. I would recommend them for drywall repairs and painting and plan on using them again if needed."

"Scott Wald and his crew (Mark and R.J) painted both the exterior and the interior of our home. They were at our home for several days and were a pleasure to have around. They were very reliable and personable, and also reasonably priced. Scott was very flexible and patient with my continued additions to the work we initially requested. He was also very accommodating whenever I pointed out areas which needed another coat or where a spot had been missed, and was quick to remedy whatever I thought needed extra attention. We would definitely hire them again."

"I didn’t see a drop-down for interior work . He came out and painted my kitchen cabinets after I messed them up trying to do it myself. His work was amazing! He was so professional and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied before he cleaned up. I highly recommend P&M Painting, and I will use them again!"

"Foothills Painting far exceeded my highest expectations for sprucing up our basement. George and his crew worked their magic turning a dingy space into a pure white ceiling with Alabaster walls and trim. They painted carefully and efficiently all with a keen eye for any places for touch ups. Miles, Rachel, and Ray were team players, each executing their roles in a professional and friendly manner to make our job happen. We will definitely use them again next spring for exterior painting. Thanks Foothills Painting!"

"Fantastic job. Knows a great deal about paint. My kitchen cabinets are perfect. I will definitely call him 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.
