"Rob painted the hallway of our 4 storey condo, and also revarnished the much weathered front door. The entire project went so smoothly! Rob worked quickly, and neatly. The hallway looks fantastic. The entire job went so well, I asked him to paint our living room next!"

"Working with Bob Domino of 5 Star Painting was a really good experience. Painting a furnished house is never an easy job and is naturally disruptive, but 5 Star was excellent at managing the process and hitting the mark on professionalism, quality and courtesy. Did a really nice clean up and final inspection. My wife and I are sticklers for detail and We are happy. Would highly recommend Bob and his team."

"Hiring On the job painting for my painting project was one of the best decisions that I made. I purchased a new home and the interior of the home was painted very poorly, also, there were holes in the wall where pictures were previously hung and holes where TVs were mounted. I am very meticulous, therefore, it was extremely important for me to select the right painting company to complete my painting project. Also, I wanted to ensure that I selected a company that did superior patch work to ensure that the walls looked professionally painted. Keithâ s crew transformed my new home into a beautiful space. The entire interior of my home was painted and each room looks amazing. I highly recommend on the job painting and I will be using them in the future for all of my painting projects."

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.
