"I recently hired Alfredo to paint the interior of my home, and I could not be happier with the results! He was knowledgeable about different paint types and finishes, and was able to make recommendations based on my preferences and budget. Alfredo was meticulous throughout the process, taking care to thoroughly prep the walls, ceilings, and trim before painting. Once he started painting he paid great attention to detail to ensure everything looked great. Since Alfredo took the time to closely examine the space before starting, he was able to provide a transparent, itemized quote, which he stuck to throughout the project. There were no surprises, which I greatly appreciated. I would hire Alfredo for other jobs in the future without hesitation, and I would highly recommend Alfredo to anyone looking for a talented, affordable, and knowledgeable painter. He went above and beyond to ensure my home looked its best, and I've already had people I know ask me for his contact information."

"Landi and his team were awesome! Super easy to work with, very professional, and the quality of the painting and drywall work was excellent. Everything came out better than expected and was finished on time. I would definitely use Rey’s Painting & Drywall LLC again and recommend them to anyone."
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.
