"Matt and his crew did an excellent job showing up on time and staying on schedule. Communications were open during the whole project and it was very easy to touch base with Matt during the process. Our ceilings and drywall cracks were repaired and painted to perfection. Very happy with all aspects of this project!"

"Two words: Smooth & professional. Bryan kept us up to date with start dates, painted our house in 2 days-on the timeline he committed to. Excellent, knowledgeable, easy to approach staff. Abracadabra employs multiple women staff members which you don't always see in this field. I have no idea why anyone would use any other company in Western Mass? Would use them again, no question about it."

"Michael is an absolute find! He painted the outside and several rooms inside the house, and will be installing a stairway banister and doing some other handy man work—building a lean-to fence r our riding mower, Ramos for access, and anything else I can find for him to do! He is fast, careful and a lovely person and I can’t recommend him highly enough."

"They came at 7:30 in the morning and did three rooms and a hall painted a ceiling and weâ re out of my house and cleaned up by 5:30 that same day so it was the fastest most meticulous painting. I have seen the rooms look great they painted the front and back doors as well cleaned up everything moved everything back into place and I would highly recommend them. They did a fantastic job."
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.
