"I recently hired Erivan for the first time to paint two rooms in my condo. He and his team did excellent work in a diligent and timely manner and at a very reasonable price. I will definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone I know who needs painting done."

We also had High Definition paint the exterior of my home several years ago and were very happy with the results. Would highly recommend this Company and will call them for future painting jobs."

"Brian and his team were great. Not only did they do a great job painting, but Brian had us leave all furniture in place and his team moved it to paint and moved it back in place before we got home. Extremely helpful for those of us that don't have time to be rearranging furniture morning and night. They also assisted determining where some stains were coming from by removing drywall and replacing it, in an awkward area of the ceiling. They repaired and looked like new. Highly recommend Brian and his team."

"Olde England Painting is amazing! They were what every home owner dreams of for repairs. I hired them for painting my house (2 story dutch colonial) which sorely needed a lot of work with peeling paint and rotted wood in several places. Their quote was a bit lower than the highest I had but Paul Adkins was so very professional and explained every step and the materials he would use so well that I was convinced he would be a good choice - and he absolutely was. Paul and his crew exceeded my expectations. The job took 7 days and each day they cleaned up in the evening and set up promptly the next morning. The cleaning, priming, wood repairs, painting, trim were all done perfectly. They even found when replacing a board on the porch that behind it was a wooden medallion that had been hidden for decades. After showing me they renovated the whole thing and painted it to look like beautiful brass at no additional charge. Further, after seeing the great job they did on cleaning the house cedar shingles, I asked them to do my wood deck which they did beautifully. Paul suggested a sealant that has made the deck look completely new. In hind sight the cost was the best money I have spent in many years and unquestionably the best work I have ever had done. No delays, exceptionally skillful, and truly professional."

"Work was performed exactly as discussed and agreed to (match existing paint colors) at estimated cost. Start was delayed at our request due to high heat and humidity, with no complaints. Work was further delayed through no fault of Arch Painting due to continuous wet weather. Once a good weather window finally occurred, the work was performed quickly with no impact on us. We were totally satisfied with the quality of the work and the finished product."

"Peter and his team did an excellent job! The house needed a lot of carpentry repair (window frames repair, siding replacement etc.) All carpentry work was addressed. All the work was done with high quality. The house looks beautiful and I would recommend North Shore Painting."

"We had all the interior of our home painted and some carpentry work done as well. In addition, we had our kitchen cabinets painted white to modernize the appearance. We had a railing placed in our home. The Quality of the Painting was Exceptional. The painters did an outstanding job. Their work was of high quality and detailed oriented. They were always on time and extremely neat. It was a pleasure to have the painters in our home. Our home looks refreshed and beautiful. We would hire Quality Preferred Painting again. If you want exceptional painting and carpentry work done in your home or business with a highly professional team, call Steve Austin."

FAQs for painting projects in Jamaica Plain, MA

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.
