"The A1 crew, led by Geraldo, did a stellar job on my personal residence. They demo’ed deteriorating siding in certain problematic locations followed by painting the whole house to achieve one, uniform color. No need to search further than A1!"

"I can hardly recommend E & H Painting enough. They came and resolved a number of major paint issues left by a previous painting company that fell apart during our remodel project. They let us know that they wouldn't consider the project done until we were happy with the result. Both crews they sent did a great job and I would definitely hire them again!"

"Mr. Moreno was flexible while we worked with our insurance company. When we got things squared away, he was able to start work quickly. Mr. Moreno s siding work was done carefully. He painted the house with specific focus on detail work. Our house looked like a brand new house! Our neighbors have stopped and commented on how terrific our house looks. I would highly recommend Mr. Moreno and Silverback Painting!"

"We hired That 1 Painter Fort Collins to do a major refresh of the siding, trim, doors, and chimney as well as some new siding work on a portion of the house and they did an outstanding job! The crew was professional, respectful, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. They prepped everything thoroughly, used high-quality paint, and the final result looks clean, crisp, and much better than I expected. Highly recommend them for anyone needing exterior painting — great communication, fair pricing, and excellent workmanship. Will definitely use them again! Thank you again to Josue and crew!"

"Troy and his crew did exceptional work!!! They were on time, moved the majority of the furniture and pictures in the areas, and removed the light and furnace covers. Due to our mistake in choosing a wrong color for the accent wall, Troy and other crew members were understanding and patience while we looked at different colors. Once we choose a new color, they repainted the wall with no problems, and the wall looks fabulous!! After the painting was finished, they moved the furniture back, replaced the light and furnace brackets, rehung pictures, and cleaned up their painting supplies. The paint job was perfect!!! Will certainly use them again."

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.
