"Professional painting with a quick response time, attention to detail, and a fair price. Victor and Edwin painted my house to prepare for market and did a beautiful job. They walked through the house with me, gave a fair quote; and did the work the same day. Highly recommend. Top notch customer service and communication and superior quality work."

"Tyler with just walls was one of the lower bids we had to paint our new home walls and some pillars, along with staining our doors. He was also the most curteous and responsive to our desires. I also appreciate how kind he was to my daughter and fiancee. I will use them again for any future jobs."

"There were three men to do the work. They prepped, painted, and cleaned up. Entire unit was done in 6 hours, one hour ahead of their proposed schedule for doing the work. Three colors were used. One color for bathroom and laundry room. The two other colors were used on alternate walls in the bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and entry hallway. I bought the paint ahead of time. We painted over existing color. We did not change the color. One coat gave us adequate coverage for walls that were painted 10 years ago."

"When I reached out to Tenzin, he was very responsive and showed up as promised to provide us a quote on the painting project. His pricing was very competitive vs. others that we had asked for bid. But most important to us was that Tenzin and his crew were available within the timeframe that we needed to have the project completed.
Our paint project took over a week to complete given the extensive nature of the work. Not only did we have the entire interior and exterior repainted, but we had three wood doors resanded and revarnished. In addition, we had bead board panels on our two garage doors that had warped. Tenzin and his team ripped them off, resanded and repainted to doors. These projects were not typical for a painting company to tackle and we were very appreciative that they did.
Overall, we could not have been more pleased with TM Painting. Not only was the quality of the work excellent, but their pricing was competitive and they were true to their word about what they would do.
I would highly recommend TM Painting and would rehire them in a heartbeat!!!"

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.
