"Liedel Powerwashing and Painting did a phenomenal job painting our home. We have a large 1-1/2 story ranch that really needed painting. Starting with the original estimate, every member of the crew was professional. They arrived when promised, were respectful of your property and made sure that we were satisfied when they finished. We were in need of having some siding replaced before they painted and the gentleman that came by to do it completed it without any issues. We would not hesitate to recommend Liedel Powerwashing and Painting to any of your friends. The job is complete and the price was fair. We were pleased from beginning to end. This company was a true Blessing to us!"

"Scott did an excellent job painting and repairing the walls in my 1890's Victorian home. He was on time, clean, pleasant, and worked every day. He was careful to tell me ahead of time what he could or could not do. As you may know, old homes such as these require special attention. The original baseboards, chair rails, and multi-layered moldings were caulked in every small seam before painting: They look brand new. Some baseboards that were warped and pulling away from the wall were removed from the lath-&-plaster, the wall scraped and sanded, reattached, allowing for a neat seam along the wall and paint interface. Dental trim was painted such that the right amount of shadow emphasized the detail. He repaired a very bad wall overlying a chimney by placing a 1/8" plasterboard over it. He hand scraped some oak-paneled doors and refinished them. The one door that could not be done perfectly he warned me about ahead of time. He has a very good eye for color. He repaired 2 fairly long cracks in the plaster lathe walls by removing the larger area of unattached lathe, screwing the remaining wall down, and patching with wallboard. He did NOT just scrape out the crack and refill it with sparkle, as most other would have done. He did the right job so it won't happen again. He cleaned up every day and was done a week ahead of schedule."

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.
