"Eduardo and Omar painted 3 rooms in my home. They were thoughtful about my interior and took precautions against damage. The paint job is well done and I am going to hire Eduardo to paint my bannisters."

"Tracy Lennon Painting did an awesome job transforming our home. Dakota and crew use quality materials and paint, repaired cracks prior to applying the paint and made our home look 10 years younger. Dakota and crew were very professional, showed up early for work daily, worked hard and fast, and cleaned up work area. Tracy Lennon, the owner provided a fair estimate and competitive pricing, came for visual inspection and got us on calendar the next day! We are very happy with the results and plan on calling them again when it's time to paint the inside of our home. Highly recommended!"

"After doing some research we found Jay’s Painting Service. We could not be happier with the exterior paint job the did. They transformed our house, which was looking a little rough, into some we are proud of. The crew was polite, professional and their attention to detail was top notch. They completed the job right in schedule. I highly recommend them for all your painting needs! Thank you guys so much!!"

"We had the entire interior of our home painted. The painters came in and prepped the house for two days before painting. They patched and taped all of the appropriate areas and then painted with two coats of paint. The results are fantastic and we are very pleased. We definitely recommend Top Quality Painting for interior painting services."

"Great company showed up on time each day and did a great job painting and leaving everything cleaned up when they were finished. Great working with them we needed one room at time being painted with a week or so in between each room getting painted. Will definitely call them back when I need painting done."

"Journey was very thorough in his prep and painting of our exterior 2-story house. We chose a dark color and it turned out wonderfully! Very pleasant and easy to discuss project with. Loved the work so much, that we've hired him for 2 more projects (interior painting and staining of pergola). Next project will be our front door."

"He does multiple painting jobs for my home and business."
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.
