"Santos was very responsive and knowledgeable with my questions. He sanded and cleaned my deck one day, and promptly returned to stain and seal my deck the next. He was meticulous in the details! Pleasant and easy to work with. The deck looks fantastic! I hope to have him back to paint my garage."

"Even though we had a new project manager, Matt (the owner) made sure everything was completed and the project was beautiful in the end. I would recommend Highfill Painting and will be contacting them in the future to do some interior painting for us!"

"We were very pleased with the jobs performed. The crew power washed, rolled and brushed our exterior brick home, as well as the trim and shutters. The job was expected to take 7-10 days, and everything was completed within 10 days. The owner was very informative and easy to work with. When a change was requested with our trim and shutter colors, he made a suggestion as to one of the changes we discussed, and we were very pleased that we went with his suggestion. The end product turned out even better than expected. Also, the price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend W.W. MV & Son Painting."

Customers say: Super punctual
"Fantastic! They painted roofing, walls and trim on about 2000+ sq/ft house. Mr. Hetrick was easily contacted to coordinate the painting and finishing of the project. His workers were very polite and took pride at ensuring the quality met my satisfaction. I only needed a few touch ups and this was coordinated well with Mr. Hetrick and the workers. Mr. Hetrick did a final walk through to ensure we were pleased with the work. I will use Hetrick painting again in the future. "Quality" is the key to their service."

"Sandy’s team did a great job. They arrived on time, as scheduled, did high quality work and cleaned up when finished. If you are looking for a painting contractor, I’d recommend you include them on the list of contractors you consider."

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.
