"Christian and Nico show tremendous attention to detail in their work which results in a truly professional finished product. Their prices are well below the quality of their work. Additionally, they were very responsive to questions and moving things around some changes to my schedule. I called around to 5 different painting companies when getting quotes, don't waste your time and just reach out to Painting Plus first."

"Working with Terry and his staff was one of the smoothest and most satisfying experiences I’ve had with an Angi contractor. They showed up on time every time and did a great job painting the entire exterior of my home. I would recommend them for anyone looking ft or a painter. I will be contacting them again once I get going on the interior."

"Our HOA selected JA Painting to paint all 27 homes in our community. Jose & crew completed the job in a very timely and professional manner. The prep work and painting were both done with care. Jose was very responsive to our needs and timelines. The level of communication throughout the project was excellent. This was a very large project and they handled it flawlessly from start to finish. JA Painting exceeded our expectations and I would recommend them without hesitation."

"We were so impressed with everyone who worked on our home interior painting. Mike was very professional and was always available if we had questions. The crew also were very professional, courteous and helpful. They did an amazing job painting with beautiful results! We had absolutely no complaints at all. We will wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone who wants painting done. As soon as spring arrives we plan on asking them to repaint the exterior of our house next. I am sure we will be just as pleased."

"Super happy with Alex. He not only did great, detailed work on exterior house painting, but he also identified minor repairs needed and did them. He provided good guidance on paint quality differences, gave opinions on what to paint differently (style). He finished right on schedule and according to estimate, offered to come do any touch-ups if I find something wrong later, and was very conscientious about protecting property and clean-up, as if it were his own house. Plan to use him for my next project for sure."

"I found Alex exceptionally careful and thorough. His pricing was fair. His work ethic was great. He cleaned our deck with a pressure washer. Because of his great job, we hired him to stain our deck. Great choice!"

"From the very detailed proposal to the completed project I was totally impressed. Antonio and his team did an excellent job of painting the house and garden shed. I was kept informed throughout with detailed status of work completed and next steps. I was most impressed with the prep work (pressure washing, scraping, sanding and identification of areas requiring special attention) that was completed before the first paint was applied. This effort ensured a superior appearance when painting was finished. Not the lowest bidder but well worth the price!"

FAQs for painting projects in Gig Harbor, WA

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.
