"The work went fantastically. I'm not sure that's a real word, but it fits. Derek was very professional and he patched up my basement walls and got everything painted quickly. And it looks good! He even did a few paint-patches that weren't associated with the basement."

"Incredible job done by Sergio and his crew. We needed our kitchen cabinets painted and they got it done in 2 days! The guys were professional and proficient. They literally got every spot, and then went back over and to see if they missed anything. These guys are affordable and well worth their price. Definitely will be using them again when painting my house!!"

"Home visit to quote ceiling plaster repair and paint was made very quickly and was friendly and thorough and reasonably priced. Work was scheduled quickly and conveniently and involved minimal upset to my household; Ken and his team (James) big help with moving and covering/protecting home and furnishings. They worked efficiently and compatibly, not disrupting my being nearby as they worked. Quality of work is exceptional—minor coverage problem with stained ceiling was addressed immediately and perfectly. Ken is a craftsman of long experience and skill, as well as strong personal integrity to stand behind his work. Feel so fortunate to have found him and have already hired him again to repaint bedroom (walls and ceiling) which he, again, scheduled quickly and did beautifully. Already planning future work—strongly recommend!"

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.
