"Having “Alex” around has been wonderful..... he has been as cheerful as anyone could possibly be. His work.... his job was to paint everything from the top of the walls to the floor boards. He assured me his work would be wonderful, and he wasn’t kidding. The doors are so smooth and perfect. ?. Honestly, his work is superior, from any other painter that I have ever had. Payment.....his charge for the whole job, was very reasonable. When I was writing the check, I felt his prices were right on with all the other painters, the only difference is Alex is a perfectionist! Honestly, if the cost of painters went up drastically, Alex would be paid a million dollars!! You say, “ Are you sure he is really is worth that?! Yes! That much and more! ??"

"Chris and his team did an exceptional job on our home! The ceiling lines are crisp and clean, the nail holes in our trim were cleaned and painted. Chris was very understanding with our expectations and very personable and knowledgeable! I am a big "do-it-yourself" kind of person and a perfectionist, so we couldn't have picked a better company to trust our home with! He even showed me a few tips and tricks for repairs or upgrading! From the moment we had our quote completed by Chris, he was professional, did not try to "sell" us, and was honest about the amount of time and supplies that would be needed. Chris was the only painter that did not speak ill about other companies or the quotes that we had already received. The best part? He was the only painted that removed his shoes and respected our brand new home as if it were his own! If you are looking for a painter that you don't have to babysit for a great price, you definitely want to go with ColorSchemes! Thank you again Chris and we will be doing business with you in the future!"

"Robert was an excellent choice and will be my handyman forever. He had to remove door molding and help push a table into the dining room. Than he put the molding back on and it looked perfect. Also, he cleaned up as he worked. We really liked this man!"

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.
