"They didn't really pay attention to detail. They slept paint on outlets door knobs window sills that another company had to clean or clear the paint so that I could open the windows lock doors and to use the outlets. They also recommended me to purchase an enormous amount of paint that I never used."

"First and foremost in what we were looking for in the painting work was crisp and precise painting lines where walls meet ceilings and at the baseboards. Extremely precise. Also the pros at Paint were extremely neat in their work and how they left our home. Very professional and efficient in their work, and very pleasant in their demeanor. And I do not say these things lightly! What could have been something to dread having multiple rooms painted was the complete opposite. Would hire them again with no questions asked!"

"I hired Steve to paint the exterior brick on my home. I was a little apprehensive as I knew painting brick can be difficult. Steve responded to my inquiry very quickly and provided a written quote within one day. He was professional, on time, neat and clean. Price was fair and work was expertly done. I would highly recommend Steve"

"From our very first interaction with our AWESOME estimator, Rob, the process couldn't have gone more smoothly with Declan and Chris doing the install and on through to dealing with their billing department for payment. We especially appreciated their product knowledge in helping us select the best shutter for our needs and the best color too. We did have a rain delay from the original install date, but communications were great and a new date set asap. All interactions with employees have been professional and courteous, and Declan even accommodated a change we needed to do day of install which saved us money. We just moved into a new home and are very unhappy with the quality of the painted finishes, so will definitely be calling Nolan Painting when we are ready to get it re-done correctly. We also had our outside Christmas lights done by their "Shine" division last year. What a great service since I don't want my husband climbing ladders to the roof and he didn't want to do it anyway. Nolan Painting does much more than just painting and so far everything I've seen has been top notch!!!

"Barriga Painting did a beautiful job! Professional and courteous. Protected furniture and floors. Looks great!"
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.
