"Roland and his team did a fantastic job, they hit the trifecta: 5 star quality, 5 star service and 5 star value. Roland gave us great advice that helped us pick the best quality paint. His team was also very professional and went above and beyond by touching up a few spots on the ceiling from a prior paint job (we just bought the house). Roland also completed the job ½ ahead of schedule."

"Ricky did a great job on the project. Professional power wash of the house and decking replaced old boards that were rotten. Did a great job preparing the deck and the railings for painting then did a superior job painting the project, including getting rid of rust on the metal door, they redid the back porch stairs because there was some light rain before it was completely dry."

"We used Donnelly to paint the entire interior before moving in. The quality was excellent and the crew were great to work with. Did excellent job and cleanup was always done at the end of work day. Prices were in line or less than most other estimates I received. Later we used for outdoor paint job and results were same. I would definitely use Dennisâ s company 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.
