"MJ is great to work with. We’ve hired her three separate times now, first she did the entire lower level of our house, then later stained and painted the entire exterior, then later came back for the whole main floor. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat. MJ is easy to communicate with and helpful picking paint colors, making suggestions, etc… She works quickly and cleans up after her projects well. Her pricing seems very reasonable compared to other painters we’ve worked with. Were happy to recommend MJ to anyone."

"Excellent! Ed and crew were very friendly and professional, on time, and called if there was a delay. He answered all of our questions and did a very thorough job. We wish we would have called him three years ago and will definitely call him again. We highly recommend him for all your painting needs! As a side note, we had a garage sale a couple of years ago and a lady that came bought some curtains to go in her newly wallpapered dining room. She said "if you ever need any wallpapering done call Ed Lundberg, they did an excellent job at my house!" So if we decide to do any wallpapering we will definitely call him for that project also.

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard Runston, I couldn't be more impressed with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless. The painter was professional, punctual, and attentive to every detail. They took great care in prepping the area, ensuring that everything was covered and protected, and the final outcome was flawless. The attention to detail in the strokes and the precision with which they worked made a significant difference. The space looks fresh, vibrant, and beautifully transformed. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable painter who takes pride in their craft. Truly a wonderful job!"

"Northstar Painting did such a great job in our kitchen! They were fast, precise and CLEAN! They transformed our walls from wallpaper-removal-gone-bad to Pottery Barn-inspired in less than a week. Luke was so accommodating and helpful. And the price was absolutely right!"
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.
