"This young man painted our deck top & bottom. He worked quietly & diligently did a fabulous job wish I’d had more work but that was it, he wasn’t on his phone the whole time he was here either,"

"Juan power washed and stained my deck, prepared and painted two exterior French doors, front porch and door, garage trim, and made my mailbox post look new again! He is very respectful and takes great pride in his work (something so lacking in todayâ s world) and treats your property as if it were his own. This was my first time hiring a painter and definitely will do it again now that I have found Juan and JMS Painting. Thank you, Juan, for all you did to make this a pleasant experience, and I look forward to working with you on future projects."

"Top Gun Painting really saved my project. In less than a week, my home went from one of the most stressful aspects of my life and badly in need of a paint job to show-room ready-to-sell. Mr. Williamson gave me a call quickly and met with me the same day. I was hoping to have my stairwell painted and the common areas redone, and instead my whole home (ceilings, trim, kitchen cabinets, and even the stair rail!) were all completed in 2 days. I would hire Top Gun Painting for any project and trust their work and integrity. I am truly grateful for all of their hard work!"

"I do not do heights and our 2 story foyer needed painting along with some drywall that had been dinged up from moving furniture up the stairway. I was extremely pleased with the exemplary care that Alex took to fix the drywall and then paint the walls and molding. If you need a job done right then I would most definitely recommend J&I Home Improvement."

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.
