"Fame Interiors did a fantastic job painting our new home. You can tell how much experience Ali has painting and how much he cares about getting the job done right. He did a detailed job filling holes, sanding, and painting. He was able to brighten our rooms by doing a terrific job painting eight ceilings, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. We most certainly will have them back to paint."

"C& Painting is a family owned business and is outstanding. They stained the siding of our redwood house, painted all of the windows on the outside and stain the top and bottom of a large raised deck. They were always on time with a smile and a happy demeanor all day long. The preparation for staining and painting was done with particular care to use the best products that were compatible with the various stains and paints and was meticulously done paying attention to every detail. By the way, none of the windows were painted shut. Five stars is not enough to describe this very special painting company. The owner and his wife are very talented and the job was fairly priced. I would not hesitate to use them again for any painting job."

"Very thorough and outstanding quality of work! Great care is taken to protect your floors and furniture from paint. Superb patching and repair of walls before painting. Jose also redid all of our bathrooms due to a moisture issue we were having which caused water marks and staining at no charge for labor (only charge was for paint). His crew was very polite and worked diligently on the job to completion."

"Mr. Mendez and his crew did an excellent job with our skylights installation and painting our shutters and also painting our kitchen and family room. He is very responsive and completed the work very efficiently. Will definitely be calling him again for more painting projects. Highly recommend him. UPDATED AS OF 02/27/2022: Mr. Mendez also replaced our stair railing. He built everything from scratch. He also replaced some light fixtures. He does so much more besides painting. We plan on calling him when we renovate our lower family room."

"Outstanding job. Carlos and his paint team came in and collectively spray painted whole house interior - 3 floors. Spray painting left a remarkable streak-and brush-free finish. Excellent for empty house! Also great for rooms with furniture and household things in them as long as they are properly protected. This includes floor and fixture protection. I would definitely hire C&V 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.
