"Owner showed up on time for quote and for each day of painting (he did all of the work himself on our job) and did a great job on the timeline he had provided us. Excellent work, easy communication, excellent price, would definitely use again."

"Kris Winiarski Painting will be our choice for any future work we need done. We set up a time for Kris to come look at what we needed (pool deck cleaning and staining and painting of two interior rooms) and he was right on time both for the review and his submission of an estimate. Kris's estimate was right in line with other estimates received but what sealed the deal was his knowledge of what needed to be done, how to do it and the materials to use. Kris was on time each day, neat and exhibited a great work ethic. Would we hire KW Painting again? - We where very pleased with all the work Kris did therefore the answer is YES without a doubt. 5 STAR professional."

"Very happy with it. Rich, Sergio, and the crew are all great to work with and very easy to get along with as well. I found them on an Angie's List deal and I gave them more work than the coupon because I needed most of the house painted. It was well worth the cost as the walls look picture perfect. You can see all the time that was put in to smoothing out the walls and the fixing the kitchen cabinet that wasn't in the greatest shape (lots of gaps, doors were taken off, and everything was caulked and smoothed) and making it look like I just installed a new built-in. I even saw a couple of minor issues and Rich and Sergio were out there next day to fix them up. They have a perfectionist mentality. I would definitely hire again if I need the other rooms done."

"Peter did a great job painting our rain damaged ceiling and walls in our living room, transforming it into a whole new living space. Because of his great work in our living room we hired him again to paint our deck. We are so pleased with all of his work so far that we will be contacting him in the future for additional projects on our home. He is trustworthy, gives fair prices, easy to contact and completes projects efficiently within the promised time. Highly recommend!"

"Joseph and his Team are excellent. They have worked with high attention to detail on our 1929 home. The Team worked six days per week (full days) and took great care to sand, prep, and paint (2 coats) with a brush. The Team was extremely courteous and it is evident they take pride in their work. Joseph was highly responsive, working side-by-side with his Team and stopping by independently to check the work progress. Their work helped restore the beauty of our classic Dutch Colonial. They were fairly priced, putting forth the time and attention that surpassed our expectations. I cannot recommend Joseph and his Team highly enough."

"Certipro painters did an amazing job painting my home. They arrived immediately to give me a fair estimate and started the job faster than I expected. They are professional and neat and also came back to make sure I was happy with the job. They did exactly what I asked with the paint colors and how I wanted my home to look. Now I love my house before it was dingy and old looking missing shingles holes from woodpeckers etc. Certipro repairs all of the holes and replaced missing shingles and repaired wood that was rotted out. This was no easy job. Im going to use them again to paint the inside of my home and will highly recommend Certipro Painters to my friends and family."

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.
