"Ryan and Bobby were very professional, but also personable and have a great rapport with each other which carries over to the customer. Their banter made them fun to be around as I work from home. RES made recommendations for complimentary color schemes and easily accommodated a few of our last-minute changes which included repainting an accent wall. Highly recommended."

"Levi and his crew painted our entire downstairs when we redid our kitchen. They did the baseboard, ceilings, and all the way up the stairs. They fixed the cracks in the walls and did such a great job. I highly recommend him. My cat, who likes to the be the center of attention, got a lot of entertainment from the painters and he (the cat) even got a Christmas card from Levi that year!"

"We were very pleased with Northern Ridge Painting & Remodeling and highly recommend them. We needed the outside trim of our house painted along with the shutters. Also the front door needed to be sanded, stained and re sealed. In addition we had areas of our trim removed and replaced/painted. Our home is large and it goes up quite high. Brian's team was very responsive from our first inquiry to his quick estimate. Their communication was spot on and they answered all our questions throughout the process. The whole crew was wonderful during the entire experience and cleaned up every day. The job was done in a timely manner and the work was excellent. There was a thorough walk around before the final payment to make sure everything was done properly and to our satisfaction. I would mot hesitate to call on Northern Ridge in the future."

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.
