"Kraig was great! I needed some sheet rock repair and some other things done due to the storm. I had pipes burst in my attic and under the kitchen sink. He replaced sheet rock, hung some new lighting fixtures, and installed a new bottom to the cabinet under my kitchen sink. There was a little damage to my hard wood floors so he fixed that as well. It all turned out so well that I even had him resurface my fireplace. It looks beautiful! Next he is installing a French drain in my backyard. He was courteous and professional and made sure to leave my home as clean as possible at the end of each workday. Obviously I will hire him again as I already have!"

"Best experience I have had with any type of contract work period. They built a roof over my porch and it is just what I was wanting! They went above and beyond what was required which is unfortunately rare these days. They are knowledgeable, listen to what you want and make your vision come to life. I will be going back to them for all of my home improvement needs and recommend them for any 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.
