"The whole process went very smoothly and efficiently. I had used Manor Works to paint the exterior of my house 10 years ago and so I was familiar with their process. I contacted Victor Tirondola and scheduled an appointment to discuss what I wanted done. It was nice to see him again. He provided me with a quote that included power washing the house, replacing rotted wood with composite, caulking all exterior windows, and using a double coating of Sherwin Williams Duration paint (I upgraded the paint). I was pleased to see the same gentleman, Francisco, who painted my house 10 years earlier was still with this family run company. It was nice to see him again too. They do an excellent job on everything. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend them to others."

"Excellent. Not only did they powerwash first but also washed flagstone walkway at no extra charge. Applied 2 coats, absolutely no paint drips. Spent about 2 hours powerwashing first day; 2 men painted for 6-7 hours second day."

"Antonio and his crew did a fabulous job. The priming and painting were meticulous and the finished product looks great. They took care in scraping the old paint where needed, and did a very professional paint job. Would highly recommend Resolution Painting and will certainly use them again on my next painting job."

"Marvin and his paint crew did an outstanding job painting the front and back of my house! As requested, they also caulked around the windows and painted my front door with the paint color I provided. Marvin even stopped in and touched a couple areas that required additional paint. Overall, I am happy with the paint project results on the front and back of my house. I would definitely recommend Paint the DMV to anyone needing their painting projects completed."

"This was the first contractor that I found on Angie's List... finding a good painter was part of the reason that I signed up on this site. Needless to say, I ran across Let's Roll Painting on here, contacted them and have been incredibly pleased with the results.
Lester came out and put together a quote for painting a few rooms in our new house. The larger room, a multi-room (kitchen, eat-in area and family room) had higher, vaulted ceilings and a lot of priming that needed to be done (prior to their work, I ripped down half-wall wood paneling, spackled and sanded).
The morning of work, his crew came in and he introduced them to me. They then proceeded to level, sand, prime and paint the multi-room, as well as paint the formal dining room. They finished up in one day (by about 5 PM) and did a fairly good job of cleanup (the bathroom was a little messy from rinsing their brushes, but nothing I couldn't follow behind with a rag).
Prices were competitive and the service was outstanding. I have them coming back next week to provide estimates for a few additional rooms. Would definitely recommend.

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.
