"Had him come over to quote me a cost and tell everything I needed done. Told me how long it would take and the price was right, hired him on the spot, took a half hour and he was done. Very professional. Will hire again. Definitely 5 stars."

"Hugo and Isaisa and their workers were excellent in not only their painting and repair of my gables and trim on the part of the structure that was built in 1903. The area most needing attention was on the third floor and was 30 feet up or more. They began work on Monday and did three gables, the soffits and trim, and the windows. Their work was very good over three days, and I am thrilled to get that area repaired and refinished. I certainly would recommend them and will definately hire them in the future.."

"Chris Hayes Painting was wonderful. I needed painting done immediately to get my house ready to sell and he came right away. He finished in record time. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a paint job. Chris was very good with my 3 dogs, too. Thanks, Chris."

"I bought an Angie's List Deal for $200 for 8 hours of painting from Pride Decorating. Joe returned my call promptly and came out that same day to take a look at the space and let me know what would be feasible during the time period that I had paid for. He called me a couple days later to schedule.
He arrived right at the arranged time, did all the work that we discussed, cleaned up everything thoroughly.
He was professional, prompt, and easy to work with.

"Based on our past experience with AOM (interior painting), we used them to powerwash our home. They had all the appropriate equipment and did an excellent job. Our 20 year old vinyl siding looks totally refreshed. David is easy to work with and goes the extra mile. We will continue to AOM for future projects.

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.
