"We solicited bids from three vendors. All viewed the project before bidding. One never sent a bid. Custom Painting gave us a good bid, and the third vendor bid almost double Custom Painting's bid. The project lasted two days. Custom Painting's people arrived on time each day. They did a great job all around. The carefully covered everything. The ceiling repairs were perfect. We are pleased with the paint job. I would, without hesitation, use this firm for future projects."

"We have used Carnival Custom Painting, owner Ron Forest, before, and they have always done an excellent job. This most recent time is the biggest job we have had done, with four rooms painted and drywall and other repair work done. The crew that did our job were excellent. They were friendly, conscientious, meticulous in detail, quick, efficient, did very professional looking work, and left the areas immaculate when they were finished. We highly recommend Carnival Custom Painting."

"Mr. Lopez is my go-to person for all painting and wood construction work. I have hired him for 5+ jobs in the past 10 years. For this latest work, he repainted a 4-bedroom 2-bathroom house (walls only), repainted the exterior house including shutters, trim and door, repaired rotted fascia board on the garage, and rebuilt a wood deck and stained it. What I love about Lopez Painting is his consistency: (1) immediate, fair written estimates (2) ability to schedule the job quickly (3) work gets done thoroughly as it seems he concentrates on one job at a time (4) no subs (5) extremely hard working, works more than a full day (6) cleans up."

"We hit a home run with this selection for a painter. The process of getting a bid was simple, Eddie Torres the owner gave us some great guidance on color choices and options we could consider. The crew that actually did the painting was on time, courteous, friendly and responsive to every request. They did a good job of keeping the house clean while they worked and cleaned up after themselves each day and then again at the end. We have every wall, a couple of ceilings, three vanities and some trim touch-up done in a four-story, four bedroom house with about 3,400 square feet and they were done in less than five days, well ahead of the schedule we expected. I could keep going on but suffice it to say they were outstanding and we will use then again when needed. I highly recommend Eddie and his team."

"They did a wonderful job painting my cabinets. It looks like I have a new kitchen! They also refinished my front door, and it looks brand new. They repainted my handrails on my stairs, and painted my doors and baseboards. They did an excellent job. This is my second time using them. They painted my interior house 2 years ago. I will keep using them."

"Beyond all expectations! We hired Juan to seal our stairs and paint our entire stairwell. We couldn’t believe how detailed and beautiful the stairs looked when he was done. They gave us an immediate estimate, were right on time for the job, and I can’t stress enough how beautiful the final results were. I will definitely be hiring Morin’s again for my next painting project"

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.
